PWR Bioheat. How are these IDIOTS so cheap?

[kevinjohnsonmbe]

Force dried on a drying floor... Crank up that grant funding eh!!!

 

RHI funding for kilns to dry logs.... Always thought it was a ridiculous concept. Just plain crazy.

[TimberCutterDartmoor]

Kiln dried. It's a joke, we all know it. Dry is dry, 20% is 20%. Like customers only wanting "hardwood logs" it's all marketing bollocks and it's starting to do my head in!

 

That

and that.

Why do you class them as 'IDIOTS' when they are clearly doing quite well?

I work for an estate that now runs a wood chip burning plant that feeds directly into the National Grid. A Bi-Product or electricity generated in this way is heat. It is not wasted! The heat is diverted into very large hangars where it is used to kiln dry logs and more woodchip for the plant! Easy money and grant funded. Carbon Neutral. What's your problem?

Surely the estate is getting RHI?

Because they're too cheap. Gov money encouraging a race to the bottom.

 

Lots of Loggers businesses are no more thanks to grant funded biomass.

I think it is a bit OTT to be publicly slaging a business like that. Besides I bet there would be no complaints If they started selling cheap chainsaws.

That is an enormously inefficient way of drying logs so therefore hugely wasteful. Same as the guys who are the topic of the thread. Drying floor for logs is completely wrong. A few of our competitors do it locally and its crap.

You are more than welcome to publicly slag me back if that makes you feel any better. Oversensitivity isn't a condition I suffer with yet. Yeah maybe my tone is a bit harsh.

 

I know some of their customers. They are being lied to good and proper. That p15535 me off.

 

Not the only ones by far of course.

 

My rant at the system.

I find it weird they have such a 'professional' looking site and business yet have zero reviews on their products? They must be paying absolutely sod all for their round wood to charge those prices though. All the faffing around of processing, bagging and storing really adds up!

If it's all done on the RHI no need for them to get cheap wood. They are getting paid to dry it via subsidies. Looked at kilns at the APF. No insulation on the b....y things so just RHI generators that happen to dry some logs at the same time. We can argue that this is carbon neutral but not until all the trees have re grown which is however many years down the road. Just seems a waste to burn all that wood to hasten a process which good old air can do in 6 - 12 months.
