Lots of Misleading Firewood Ad's on Ebay
gensetsteve replied to farmer_ben's topic in Firewood forum
Even then they would be getting a good deal as that would be approx 1.5 cu metres of loose logs. -
I was going to put a pic up but it actually looks good in a photo. Look forward to seeing some pics of the outfit when its had some love. I never seem to get the time to overhaul things seems to take forever to source parts these days. I think there is a full time job here gardening and changing oil

Not sure if you can see in the pic but this is on my pm crane which works well. Not a huge travel the thing that worries me with the recoil tings is how long will the seal last with a bit of frost and dust.

I have a large pile of beech I can offer for £80 a cubic metre loose loaded. It looks good but I dont sell it as seasoned as its 26% outside 30% inside. 5 cu metres will be around 2.5 tonne in weight. If Butlers still have the pile I looked at last summer best go there first.

I would stick with the skips:001_smile:

Cheap holidays to greece . Since they dropped the drachmar the prices have been controlled by the eu. Just hope world war three does not break out when some nations that were more wealthy fail to get their dosh back.

I get honda generators in occasionally low hr standby sets not starting. Fuel looks and smells fine but you could pull on that cord all day. drain fuel, fresh in away it goes first time. Petrol and diesel now goes off very quick.

I have an old westwood mower 4 stroke that gets all the old mix. 6 weeks old and it goes in the mower.

have you tried reducing the size of the pic with something like pix resizer

Anyone use a club cab pick for firewood?
gensetsteve replied to farmer_ben's topic in Firewood forum
I have been looking at putting a tipper body on an extra cab. They normally have the best payload of the three but still enough room for a worth while tipper. The hilux single cab only carries 700kg wheras the extra cab nearly 1100 kg or more when the body is removed. -
I have two prices unseasoned expensive seasoned really expensive especially in January
-
mse220 no fuel to go off and still plenty of power.

So instead of having one decent service van and renewing it every 3 years I would be better of with two old wreaks with two different tachos.
-
I had a customer last year who wanted no larger than 7 7/8" ie 8 inch would be too big. A good opportunity to sell a large quantity of 6" kindling I thought but he went somewhere else
-
It does not sit in the grate and sulk like some pieces of oak if not seasoned for four years. I have cut sycs to the floor here and four years later they are 20ft again. I would imagine it burns too quick on open fire but good in burner.
-
You would have thought he would ask for stonking great logs if he had a large fire. We use big 1.5 metre vent bags the ones blank are 10" logs. The labels will say 12inch or 14" etc . When someone wants big logs we tip them in the mouth of a bay and scoop up.

I was going to make a sarcy comment but thought it may be taken the wrong way been flammed enough already on here this week so thought better of it.
-
Still getting the lengths just recently done 10,000 bags so been sucking everything up in the local area. I was removing offcuts free but sorting was taking too much time. The offcuts we get are all minimum 2x2 and over 6" long. I think the skips are 3 yard or 1.5-2 metres.

I went to an officers mess in an army camp last year. They had ordered and had delivered 1 cu metre of firewood by pallet £249.00 so alot of people do pay the money. Worrying thing is not had repeat order
-
Micheal I like your way of thinking:beer: If my stove was bigger and I could get a bit more in I would burn it but it just burns too quick and leaves very little bed. I am actually buying skip fulls of 4ft off cuts for £20 a skip. I have 6 of my own skips and cant keep up. I fill 4 bulk bags a day when working the kindling 2x2" off cuts if someone close by has a use let me know. Currently I give it to one of my neighbours.

gensetsteve replied to daveindales's topic in Business Management
I cant see a problem you could also pay you wife/partner . You will come across a huge amount of legislation especially regarding machinery and working hours. -
I had stuff like u have on the left. Put it into builders bags and put it on ebay for £15 a bag had one taker who knocked me down to £50 for 5 bags. I decided it was not worth the time and diesel in the forklift. You could advertise it as kiln dried untreated joinery waste suitable as firewood. You need to watch out for the green stuff as its treated with nasties and now they have a new treatment which makes the wood a deeper yellow colour. With the right kit you could turn the stuff into kindling but it would still be labour intensive. Judging by recent replies someone will be along soon to tell me i am clueless and pessimistic that they are the god of logs.

We live in Hampshire a fairly wealthy county but prices are low. The closer you get to a city centre the more expensive it gets possibly due to congestion and congestion charge and cost of living.
