I fitted a Morso dove with a back boiler last year it does all hot water and radiators, for less than £500[this is for buying in wood and a wee bit of anthracite]. With the previous oil system I had which was actualy pretty eficient I'd be paying out £2500 I use some anthracite when it's really cold and will keep it in all night. Our house is about 850ft ASL , there is 6"'s of snow outside and we are roasting right now in t-shirts:001_smile: As far as cooking with a stove I'd go back to it in a shot but we don't have a space in the kitchen for one, there are some good ones from Italy for under £2000

What type of wood do they recommend? if you put them in in May/June, how long will it be untill you have some to harvest?

Took the kids a run and got stuck, we had to walk 2 miles home for the Mog:thumbdown: That was a couple of years ago, now they refuse to come with me:sad:

It's crazy watching the news, up here it's normal to have snow for 5-6weeks a year[getting less!!] we're used to it and driving in it, there's nothing to it , you just go slower!!! I've had it down to -6 in the KITCHEN when I was in the bothy, also the bog froze so you had to pour boiling water down the pan before you had a ****!!!! Glad I was there, Wouldn't go back though!! I feel sorry for the kids on tv , trying to sledge with no snow.

Hi Matt Grand fir Abies grandis Fastest growing fir in uk [from n.America] you'll get some pretty tall ones about, timber is pretty poor but a nice looking specimen tree You'll see them in Boat wood along from the Yard , it's the regen under the pine. If you rub the needles they smell like tangerine peel, remember simon had one as a X-Mas tree , when he brought it into the heat it smelt like cat piss:scared1:

Cheers guys You're right about the splitting, drys better also burns better, especially conifer as in the round they have a natural "fire barrier" [too early to remember the correct term] I would think those chipping for fuel will take readings before chipping. It will also do away with customers claiming that you've sold them "wet" wood There's nothing worse than a stick "hissing" on the fire

I was speaking to a lad today that sells woodburning stoves he used to also sell a lot of firewood, he was asking what moisture content I was burning my wood at [not sure on correct terminology] Anyway , I just burn wood when I think it's dry, does anyone out there check moisture content and how. Years ago we used to take moisture readings , for fire danger ratings and also abroad when doing prescribed burning. I know it makes a big difference in how it burns , above 30% bakes the wood rather than burns it [fact of the day:thumbup1:] I think the answers may start getting technical here:hmmmm2:
