i did read a report late last summer that said winter just past was going to be far worse than 2010!!, so much for that. A

It its hardwood then it will burn very well and generate a lot of heat, but it will burn fast. Small pieces allow for more turbulence within the fire thus promoting the fire. For your own use then go for it, but if looking to cut and resell then the amount of work involved will not make it cost effective. A

Splitter, then the Posch 20 ton vertical will do you nicely, just roll 1m lengths up to it, it lifts the now log as the split knife returns. I run mine off a MF135 tractor, went through some 3 foot dia chestnut like a knife through butter last Autumn. The Yew might have a better value to wood turners. A

I know one in Northampton, good but you have to keep at him to come. A

had 40 years in heavy goods parts so know a bit but have been out of teh industry for some years now. Luma were the only company in my day to make an unbreakable lens, you could drive a 6 inch nail through one and not split the lens. However they never really caught on as they were to costly to get OE fitment work. They now seem to have dropped truck lamps. Fitting LED lamps are all very well but they are far more expensive to replace if damaged. Long on road life is what they are designed for. While you can fix cages made by Multipart Universal etc round them if the cages are hit hard they will collapse and crush the lamp. So it depends on what sort of damage you are getting, I have 2 IFW trailers, they are out 5 nights a week and have only lost an odd bulb and a couple of reflectors in 5 years. But if a driver reversed into something solid then things break. A

Andy Harrison is in Kettering, about 50 miles away. Think he has a fair sized Woodmizer. Andy Harrison - Wood, Wood Turning, Landscaping, Timber and Firewood Think he is a member here but would think he would only be interested if he was buying the stick. A

Anyone still advertise in yellow pages and yell.com?

I ditched them three years ago after using them for 2 years, first years results were very poor, the regional manager rehashed things and promised massive improvements, year 2 was worse !!. Use the web and small local area mags that are issued a few times a year, people keep them. A -
I billeted some diseased Horse Chestnut last August time, this was kept uncovered outside in a pile only 1 billet wide, this also grew a similar mould. However it now seems to have died and shrivelled. Probably burn it in my own stove rather than sell it. A

Be better at the Hatfield Craft fair, buyers with some very deep pockets get there. A

Tight squeeze getting that old Foden in there !!. A

My Allbut grab + brackets to fit a Mani 6-27 TP, will grab about a cube of cord a go depending on the length. A

I use Mr Muscle trigger spray, for smoke its fine, if you have tar on it then ACR smoke remover works best but is a bit messy to use. Looks like you only have smoke on it though. Would recommend using stove paint and not blacking, faster and leaves a better finish. two THIN coats after you have cleaned all the rust off. While you have it out then have a look at the ropes around the door and under the glass, the latter might be tricky as the glass fixings tend to sieze/shear. A

Andy Harrison - Wood, Wood Turning, Landscaping, Timber and Firewood Andy buys a fair bit of timber in, but is usually looking for it in full 25t loads. A

Retro fit into the Ecoburn or another set up completely?. Will clear a bit of space in my inbox, sorry. A

He is wrong but I am not to surprised. I had a building inspector sign off a capped chimney with a stove supplied by me but installed by the customers builder as safe to use. A

Just over 3 minutes a cube here, impressive. [ame] [/ame] One other advantage the Taj currently has is the availability of a 12 way splitter. There is an 8 way in on this demo, logs coming through are pretty big in my book. I have done work this winter on log diameter and have found that optimum performance in a stove is achieved with logs of between 75mm and 100mm average diameter. Morso recommend a log no bigger than 100mm. On a 350mm max machine then an 8 way is fine but on a 400mm then the logs in my opinion want dicing down just a bit more. A

Details on their web site, 19 cube is cutting 350mm timber at 500mm long. More realistically look at the info chart, I would expect about 8 - 10 cube which is still getting on with it. Looks a well thought out machine and of course its British made but if like the old model will be pretty costly when compared to tajfun 400 and similar. I suppose its horses for courses really and you usually get what you pay for. A

Most of it appears to be of poor quality and little value, the tree trunks look oversize for most processors so will want billeting before processing into firewood logs. That all adds to the cost of converting it into firewood. Suspect chipping it would be the best and fastest option, but sleepers will not be taken as they contain a lot of creosote. A

Is this expensive for artic of sycamore?
Alycidon replied to MonsterMonster's topic in Firewood forum
I am just processing up some big sticks that came into me in 2011, to big for my processor so I just put them in my "one day" heap. Billeted them late last summer, now perfectly dry. A -

Only if you are the person burning it, if buying for resale then its 20% but you sell it at 5% again if selling to the end user. A -

Reasonable, I paid £55 two years ago. A -
I have 2 containers, i super dooper storage one, condensation is bad. The other is an insulated ex army medical container, condensation here is not so bad. But for firewood storage, keep the rain off and let the wind blow through it, a storage container in my opinion is a far worse choice than an open barn. A

Can see to many people being able to handle some of those trunks. A
