yeah its good cant get hardwood at the mo down here, so am buying in artic loads of the stuff my theory....if i cant get hardwood then get the better softwood best if only burnt in a stove there is another thread on this in the firewood forum
-
the wood ones mainly, but any i suppose apparently there are paper ones too
-
shot them with the wrong tool there monkeyd!!! get rid of them before they end up like the squirrels
-
does anyone on here deal with briquettes, bought in to re-sell or even burnt any in your stoves. intrested to hear what you think of them
-
i think its all about your market. tesco sell imported for £2, i sold some stuff from a woodland i monmouth for £4.5 and people always went for the tesco stuff as it was cheaper. went to a mates bbq and took the British stuff and what a difference when the 2 were compared. ours is great good luck on the oil barrel way, was'nt my cup of tea the preference for me on the firewood was..... you cut the wood and season it for a bit (firewood) then chuck in a kiln, burn it, sieve it, bag it, then its charcoal!!!! i took the less work more profit route IMO. good luck though, you sound like a man with a plan there

being happy, time with kids, enjoyable weekends, enough money in bank to cover emergencies without being lavish. thats my success ( got 2 sons, thats my real success) and not living my life to other peoples standards and expectations, get up for work when i want, go home when i want, play when i want what other reason would be self employed for?????

bob, gettin £50 m3 fresh and £60 seasoned until august when it will all go up by £5, all is tipped as dont want to spent time in filling 1 ton bags which then costs in loss of production i though we covered in a previous thread that 1 ton bags varie greatly in size dependant on manufacturer/company used or seconds. i know the ones i've used in the past have, some even stretch "seasoned" i've seen as classed as 3 months as that is one season e.g spring or felled and stacked for one year then split day of delivery to quote dean, just sell it by m/c............... it'll be lower than certainly wood when air dried over the summer i've seen c/w's bags and they are tall but "look" thinner than 1 tonners
-
just be aware guys, the more blade surface area you have e.g. 2,4,6,8 way blades, then the more power (tons) you need to push the wood through
-
bob you're too cheap mate. its hard work and you need a good reward unless by builders bag you mean a rubble sack and then good on you mate
-
i,ve had customers tell me they are paying upto £120 for a m3 off them kiln dried to 25%....... surely that is air dried m/c i thought kiln dried was 10-15%
-
oh how funny would that be driving down the M4 in wales now that the police dont patrol it
-
yep had that too!!!! local forester said it was the waste, and had no cord lengths to sell. carried on buying it until it started to come in unsplit, and at that point we managed to match up some logs and found they lined up to a nice long length (we had time on our hands). i stopped , and have since ordered in Larch. other compaies on the web are selling it and its better than nothing
-
Mark, get some one in with a lucas mill or any mill and plank it. is there any blue stain?
-
yep!!! biggest wood i've had:laugh:
-
don't panick skyhuck, i dont work for free!!!!!!!!!!!!! sometimes at a loss, but not for free i didn't cut down the tree. i just "recycle" the wood, which was delivered to me. deliver the wood on monday, so get paid then, and only cut it up so the buyer can split himself so was a quick job to reduce down into manageable pieces
-
nope. did it for the pure pleasure of backache, cramp, gettin soaked and cleaning up shed loads of sawdust:thumbup:
-
cut this up for firewood today, it had ganoderma at base. twas a lovely copper beach growing opposite charlotte church's old house
-
congrats mate, we knew we were having a boy and the wife wanted to call him charlie only problem is my surname is white..........she didn't get it
-
i agree. less wood= easier to tie nets=quicker to fill bags=more profit, less time
-
imo nightmare. let the trunk dry out abit b4 you mill. contains so much water the planks are liable to collapse........good luck

we all have our own preferences for machinery, and they all have their own faults or un-favourable operating procedures, i've used many chippers from exenco, entec, bandit, premier, timberwolf, jenson, vermieer, heizohack and the spiral one. they are all different and the best one is the one which has the least amount of personaly anoying faults that you can put up with. its all horses for courses, and its the same with all machinery including firewood machinery, chainsaws and trucks. personly i buy on aftersales service and back up as a prority after i've found the machine i like best suited to my needs and easily maintained. IMO nobody makes the best... its the most suitable for you. i own a heizohack btw

Can anyone reccommend a printer?
firewoodman replied to TimberCutterDartmoor's topic in General chat
DONT BUY A KODAK. nothing but problems with it, had it over a year. bought a hp all in one FP4280 for under £30 and its fantastic. good quality photo prints too and it came with full ink tanks not the usual taster inks which last 10 seconds -
hey peter, nice truck. how do you find running it? how do you get on with the O-license thing?
