bagging seasoned logs

[Stephen Blair]

good idea rob, i may do the same mate.mikey, firewood is just there to provide a service, i am flat out with tree work, so i would rather set a day aside, get a couple of lads in and fill as many as we could in a day and get them stacked up..

i discovered big bagging non seasoned logs was a waste of time as they went mouldy, we emptied them out and have them stacked in an extremely windy site open sided and covered ontop, they are now dry. if i bag them up now will they go mouldy(these are not vented bags)

 

Were the mouldy ones hardwood or softwood?

 

 

I've had a few go mouldy stored in a barn on a concrete floor. They were softwood and had been split whilst wet from rain on the outside of the log

 

I've not had this problem with hardwoods

 

 

I found that you can clean up mouldy logs by leaving them outside exposed to sunlight and a draft. Direct sunlight (and drying) kills the mould quickly and it soon weathers off the log

it was both mate, i didnt want to take the risk of recking all the logs so we tipped them out and into out big cages on pallets, they are dryer than a dry thing now. wind rocks lol
