  1. as per a previous post, has anyone put a Geiger counter over the imported timber yet. Chernobyl and all that. deer still not allowed into food chain from some parts of Scotland, hearsay from a stalker mate.
  2. where do your logs come from. the timber for my logs going out now are from Bramham Park, Wetherby, United Kingdom. 37 miles away. the next batch of timber is from hood hill plantation,chapeltown. 0.5 miles away. local logs for local people. carbon sense................
  3. bloody daft. we can produce bio gas and pump it into the national grid.
  4. all these points are set out and answered clearly in the hetas woodsure plus handbook
  5. now every one is BSL registered, and hetas woodsure, it only needs insurance company's to require approved fuel and bingo the markets sewn-up. win for vat man win for tax man win for consumer, burning better fuel, win for regulators win for number crunchers. another two new customers this week who have had chimney fires by burning wet crap and coke. "they were only $45 a bag"
  6. go for the 750t per site option, several times if you are doing that quantity
  7. are you more than 750t if not read down , and simplified registration, go to section 6 or something.
  8. You never know where this job might end up, as my farm management business grows we might get into the situation where I can tender the work out, but at this early stage I need to be the face of it and have all the answers! be a rare chap who does.
  9. not suprised you can not keep up with demand at your prices.
  10. how much you selling a ton box for.
  11. same here. trying to find an alternative to my 2 m3 packfix system. at £1 / wrap. ideal for air drying or kilning. manual labour involved in de-neting.??? but £180 for nato 2 m3 stillages and a rotator for the matbro. ?? potato boxes £20-40 1.5m3 ??
  12. all fuel must be dry to get results. larch and other softwoods are a bugger to dry. hired a cracker in spring and cracked 75t 100%fsc ready for this burning season. resin in softwoods as bad as oak .untill dry. sycamore, dries quick,burns clean,is a weed,invasive species,grows quick,great for the carbon cycle.
  13. considering weather , dont look too bad. oak IS the worst wood to burn. should have laid that concrete with a fall on it. your central air pipe going banana shaped.. rotate it,and it will flatten out again. put some birch or sycamore in with the oak to get a better burn of the tannin's.
  14. and in heat exchanger pipes . burn some quality stuff and alls clear.
  15. has the tar condensed on the inside of the boiler. may need some dry beech and sycamore to burn it off.
  16. when was timber felled, is it french import stuff. variation in tannin and tar content and hence smokeyness .
  17. sure do. oak worst wood you can burn. especially if summer felled. tar and tannin. mix with silver birch and or sycamore . fan speed 5 at most.
  18. dryer feedstock. smaller pieces in boiler. but not too small or too big. burns cleaner with hardwoods.
  19. as i said earlier all set out in the hetas woodsure handbook.
  20. that is not morally acceptable is it. Some little kiddy laid dead at the side of the road, your truck and trailer loaded with logs off to your next delivery and insurance adjuster rolls up and says you"re not insured for that matey.
  21. oh dear, oh dear, come on chaps. as per HETAS WOODSURE handbook. and BSL. same regulators/administrators cut top off a plastic graduated ibc. tip your bag of logs in, level , and read off volume from scale imprinted in the plastic. take dated photo as evidence. repeat at reasonable times throughout the season. you will be astounded at how much timber you are giving away free. bags stretch bags and boxes get shaken. we are selling 1.2 /1.3 m3 as a 1 m3 0.8/0.9 m3 as 0.65m3
  22. when using a trailer ? logsnstuff and vosa may disagree.
  23. Prime position unseasoned softwood £3 / net including mould
