No. I've never been on Fonthill Estate. They are our neighbours. I help with the farm work here and do the logs as my own thing.

Ive always wondered who/ os the largest firewood company/ yard/ set up in the uk. Certainly wood comes to my mind when thinking of it. Any ideas guys.

Yea must be certainly wood. Not sure if people like luxury wood or Whitehorse are doing similar quantities now but just import.

I wonder how the uk firewood producers compare to foreign companies abroad. I take it there alot bigger abroad due to more wood and more houses with fires I.e the Scandinavian countries.

That used to be the case. I have reluctantly had to buy in Ash and Sycamore the past few years to keep the tonnage up. My preference is Beech. Any time your passing though, you're more than welcome to pop in for a coffee. (Or a beer, depending on what time it is)

 

What a very nice offer shame about the response you got.

 

Wish you were a neighbour of mine

I saw a large firewood producer in Germany and it was very impressive. Huge log stack being fed onto a hydraulic log deck by a guy on a timber crane. Huge processor operated by another guy (didnt recognise the make model but looked like posch colours) with saw dust extraction fans. Going into a posch packfix unit. The forklifted away into a building, presumably into a kiln.

 

3 guys running it but in five minutes of watching it seemed like they did a couple of cubes. Firewood production on an industrial scale.
