    Years ago, as a boy at the "Kingdom Hall" I was unfortunately a JW:001_rolleyes: the young lad sat in front of us was sniffing away, as he often did, after a while my dad had had enough, he lent forward and politely asked the lad to go get a tissue. He promptly got up and left the hall, he returned from the toilets and handed my father the tissue

    Its not good when you spend hours with people who irritate you, I'm sure I've irritated plenty in my time. My last groundie Todd was great, we got on really well, he was always clean, never smelled (which is important when you can spend hours in a cab together) and was good company, way better than some I had in the past. I now work with my eldest son, which is great!!! As for dishwashers, whats wrong with you girls, I think I've loaded ours maybe a half dozen times in 25 years, its women's work

    A lot of tree work is a single hit, thats one of the problems.

    Err No, the word kiln is defined as "a furnace or oven for burning, baking, or drying, esp. one for calcining lime or firing pottery." So "Kiln" dried logs need to have been dried in a "kiln" to be advertised as such.

    OK, fill a shoe box with sawdust and then get a log of the same size, I guarantee the log will be heaver, so must contain more wood. Cutting up solids increases volume. Because we use chippers to reduce the volume of brash (which cannot be stacked without HUGE air gaps) we imagine that cutting reduces, but thats wrong.

    A pile of sawdust is full of air, thats why its soft, rather than hard like a block of solid wood.

    Banks are scum, they are like a friend who lends you an umbrella when the sun is shining and asks for it back at the first sign of rain:thumbdown: Good luck and keep on, keeping on!!!

    My dad has had an Esse cooker for years, it was one of the first, he loves it, it does require very dry wood.

    Put the boiler fuel through the kiln.
  14. skyhuck
    I think you may have problems with mould if the kiln is not running continually.

    Personally I just don't get all this rigging regardless of method, I use a lowering rope maybe a couple of time a year, often less. I cut and chuck or free fall virtually every tree. Theres always somewhere to put stuff and a brash mat protects patio slabs etc.

    You could have something there Husqvarna, Echo and dolmar, for more simple minded cutter

    I would not be hasty and fell it, give it chance, Yew can sometimes almost come back from the dead, IME.

    Fixed that for you

    Twist caps are ace!!, they double as an IQ test, when taking on new staff simply ask them to fuel a saw, those who fit the caps without issue are keepers, the others you just say "I'll call you":sneaky2:

    As do I John, but taking a log from each cage and waiting for it to cool, spitting and testing is time consuming (As I mentioned in my earlier posts) This thread was simply asking if others had tried weighing as an alternative, nothing more, nothing less
  22. skyhuck
    Which bit??????
  23. skyhuck
    Are you saying use a moisture meter or measure the gap?? your post is unclear. Its not about what it weighs, its about the change in weight
  24. skyhuck
    Today people buy wasted lettuce, the idea that you could convinces these people to dry their own firewood is ridiculous.

    Good luck :lol:
