Spent yesterday cutting supposedly a load of ash but poor chap had been sold 3/4 alder and 1/4 ash. Dead easy for me though as alder cuts like butter. Did about 15 tonnes and would have cleared the whole 18 tonne load if we had not had a small hitch with the processor which cost a bit of time.

 

Edit. Realised my last visit there is my profile picture. Looks like we beat that day

These mate! They are really good to be fair. We don't normally put them in if we are doing normal stuff but because it's so thin they keep falling out. I think we paid about £200 for 100

That's cunning - they must stand the Kiln heat ok then. Must be fiddly keeping them in place while you fill, or perhaps they lip over the top of IBC while you fill. Thanks

Some of them have been through 20+ times and still seem OK! They come with a string tie on the top and bottom so you can tie them tight, they don't move at all

Perfect, I think the reduced airflow will adversely effect drying times on your normal sized logs, which as you know is critical. Great solution for smaller sizes though. Thanks
