Rogue Traders - Monday 16 March - Rogue Tree Surgeons
firewoodman replied to Honey Bros's topic in General chat
they stuck around for a conversation about what they did and took notice of the advice given....... that says something on its own. i'll not defend what they did or how they did it, but how many new to the industry wannabe newbies do we all now of that cannot sharpen a saw and would make do with whatever equipment they can get hold of. as mentioned earlier it was more a case of ignorance -

:blushing:yeah. i want some too:blushing:

aahhh feel the love men, feel the love:001_tt1:

exactly the same here, got to keep an eye on the stove whilst working so the fire dont die down. buy bigger capacity machine and produce more split wood before the summer
-
one thing i will mention is if the stove is lined with firebricks, try to get one with clay firebricks and not vermiculite. the latter crack very easily
-
not swept mine for 3 years either. sweeps in my area rave about how clean the chineys are of my customers. one customer was not charged for a sweep as nothing came out. water in wood causes tarring, not resin in softwood. a hot fire will self clean a chimney, if you burn coal you will need to sweep
-
i personally wouldnot buy british stoves and would go for a jotul i'm not saying all british are bad, and god knows we need the indusrty here but the european brands are far better quality.imo
-
so whats it like now dean? and did you clean it? how often do you sweep it... honestly now
-
never prune any tree which is in flower is my advice. the amount of grief you get for that is unbelievable even when the darn thing has fallen over
-
always burnt wood in the stove so never smelt the fragrances
-
its a guy who wants to be a tree surgeon but is not qualified (and no intention of either) and was trying to do what he thought was best in his un-educated way and got caught. its a shame it was'nt a dodgy pikey, take your money and run...sorry about the greenhouse luv, be back tomorrow, never seen again type

willow.. thats intresting.. i'll have to burn some now to see that. i find willow dries quick, burns fast, but burns hot hot hot. fruit wood only good for open fires, or if you have a stove, its only the passers by outside that get the scent:001_tongue:
-
dont know mate, but there could be several variables in the chimney fire senario........just know that no customer of mine has ever had one off my f/wood and thats the most important thing to me i'll burn fresh wood at home but i will always burn the fire hot for 20 mins to burn off whats uo the chimney.... i always feel if the stove glass has burned from black to clean then the chimney is too
-
i may beg to differ that answer. have found that branch wood will contain a lower mc than the trunk in the winter and more water in the trunk again when the sap begins to rise. also the state of health of the tree has an affect on the mc and the ease of splitting ability especially if cankered.
-
have a customer who only uses me now for his f/wood (dry) as was sold wet ash on 2 previous occasions by a.n.other and suffered a serious chimney fire.
-
its a company from abergavenny by all accounts foord! but not as bad as it could've been, but james pinder from newport cc is the tree office matt.... you did work experience with daves crew who show it right in tredegar park we've not seen it yet but been told its only a small bit in tredegar park
-
actually it is not. the ash is of the same genus as the olive tree and both contain oil within the wood which helps the wood to burn. same principal as resin within conifers if you put another species of wood with a moisture content similar to fresh ash (which can be higher than 39% by the way) there will be a noticeable difference in burn
-
well said my man i burn wet wood in my stove when it is kicking out some fierce heat to help cool it down a bit, otherwise we have to leave the room and thats when the dampers are closed too
-
lime dries quite quick and will burn well with a higher moisture content than recomended. gives off fantastic heat when dry too. i burn all woods now....... why waste a heat source by chipping it all:001_cool:

for the non technical and nieve

bloody hell dean!!! have you met my future mother in law then...lol
