The wood briquettes burn well. Not much fuss involved in getting them to burn. Marketing wise I'm not sure. I'm sure at the right price the demand will be there. I have a demand for conifer at the moment which shows you really can sell anything at the right price. If I were selling the briquettes I'd sell them similar to prepacked coal so you can multidrop bags.

Do you meant the reconsituted wood that forms briquettes or coal briquete yype stuff?

Would it not be possible to voluntarily reduce the GVW of the truck to 3499kgs and have it plated as such. This would surely negate the need to do this training. I know you can do it with trailers but not sure about vans though.

I play a washburn BT4 which is a low mid range guitar through a Peavy Bandit Transtube. I can't justify getting a more expensive one. It does most things I need mostly rock to heavy metal so suits me to the ground.

25-35 per tonne depending where you are and whether delivered or not.

I'd mention it in passing to the landlord just say you are concerned and don't think its that safe. They may care they may not. It just so happens you cut trees for a living if you get the job to take it down then bonus.

Why on earth would you want to sell "old stock". Surely old stock in firewood terms is good as its seasoned.

Aluminium does work harden and become brittle. Best thing is not to drop the stuff too hard or often.

Depends on the type of pigeon doesn't it in terms of destruction of nests. Wood pigeons no no to destruction the nasty flying vermin type street pigeon I thought wasn't protected. I'm probably very very wrong though

Between 40 and 60 for me. I run alot of miles everyweek so have some that have what I need and no stupid gimmics. That said I have spent 90 quid on a pair of running spikes in the past. Last pair of trainers were about 40 pounds and have so far ran about 400 miles in them. Its time for a new pair.

I quite frequently check what people sell for. The cheapest for a bulk bag is 30 quid for hardwood not "tree surgeons waste" ie bought in roadside prices. Up to 90 quid a bulk bag. Tried selling some net bags to the local coal man and they can get net bags loads for £1.15 albeit feels rather wet but money talks. At 50 pounds a bulk bag it seems cheap but then when you add it up to work out the cubic metre price it is obscene really.

where can i purchase cheap bags for my logs
detritus21 replied to Czlowiek Drzewo's topic in General chat
Buying in bulk will be the way forward but at present money is tight and selling bagged logs is an experiment hence the 100bags at the price mentioned. -
that sounds a lot longer than what I have. At present I'd say its hip height. Looks like I shall have to aquire some more cord.

I've decided I'll learn to footlock and so far so good but I'm unsure what length of prussic to use. The one I'm using at present is way to short. Is there a rough guide to estimate what length you need. The foot side of it I've got spot on its just what length prussic loop once I've sussed that they'll be no stopping me.

I've just got 100 of ebay for 16.50 + about 9 pound p+p. 800mm x 450mm. Works out at about 24p a bag I think. If you by more they are cheaper. Price wise I haven't decided yet -
Its alright he'd replied but I've had to change my plans

I'm debating how much to charge for bagged wood. I've just got some 85x40 bags. I need to compare the size and price with the ones the local coal merchant had in as they are likely to become regular customers provided they don't want them for £1.20 a bag they have had off another company last winter. Explaining the price has gone up alot doesn't seem to make sense to a coal man whos own prices have gone up 100% in a year. Realistically wholesale prices I think I'd be wanting at least £2-2.50 a bag and to my log customers probably £3-4 a bag. I need to tap the local competition and see what they sell for. I know one local company does bulk bag deliveries for 30 quid how they make any money I don't know. The profit margins must be very small when you take into account £20-40 a tonne + delivery and man hours.

MOT's class 4 vs. class 7 on Landy 130
detritus21 replied to Kev Stephenson's topic in Large equipment
The test are pretty much the same but a class 7 is a few pounds more. -
I had to adjust the idle on my makita 9010 as it wouldn't idle for anything. I need to adjust it back down slightly as it went overboard so have some chain creep. Not going to need to use it for a while so will do it next time its up and running

The aroma of fruit woods is also good when its seasoned and you get a good heat. The difference between your open fire and a stove for seasoned wood is you have more control of the speed of burn with a stove particularly the ones that self regulate with a thermostat so you can regulate the rate of burn and subsequently the heat output.
-
If its too wet it has to make all the water boil off which uses a lot of energy thus not giving as much heat. In the case of a stove you can turn it right down when you have dry wood which gives a more efficient burn. The wetter the wood the more you have to burn to get the heat.
-
I'd burn lime it will burn fine when seasoned. Not sure how long to season for though.
-
Its about £2.80 in one local and £2.20 in the other. 2 other local pubs have shut.
