  1. I found they all read within 40% of each other ?especially when the batteries get low . Cant see 20 -25 % being a big deal the problem stuff is 36 % and plenty of that gets delivered cheap. We mostly sell kindling and kiln dried logs . Because there are a lot wet logs about especially this time of year that is why kiln dried is so popular why not pay 25% more for 50 % more heat .
  2. They interviewed a professional log seller on the news tonight . Who explained he bought his cord two years ago so now it’s ready for cutting up and sending out ?. How is that kiln dried . Also when we sold logs and bought in cord I found beech left in the stick for two years was still 35% in the middle. The best way to season was to process green and barn store in crates for a year or two or put in a poly tunnel. i don’t think logs up north reading 20-25% is a problem it’s the 40% green stuff that needs cracking down on
  3. Crashed or broken a week later and parts obsolete like the rest of the crap they turn out ?
  4. Thanks for the suggestions . That’s the problem at the moment kindling is a better use for the timber than bio mass and we would pay more.
  5. We have made and sold tonnes of kindling this year but struggling to find nice down graded pine timber . If anyone knows of anything or wants to supply it so we can turn it into kindling for them let me know. We recently picked up this packing case timber which is ideal . 1 metre long + 2x2 and bigger are what we are looking for .thanks for looking
  6. Hi Mark we are currently out of stock and taking orders but would love to supply you . I will reply to your message shortly
  7. Never had much luck with cherry or apple always wondered what all the fuss was about . beech and ash my favourites Hawthorns good round this way too
  8. For 126 nets inc delivery to most places inc vat total price £360.00
  9. Fresh unused untreated pine softwood neat tightly packed bone dry kindling 40x50 approx 4kg
  10. Have a spare 1500 nets this week if anyone needs them . Just green no orange currently
  11. Go for a soft start on an inverter or star delta starting panel use a smaller generator so that it has more load when up to speed. Houses have 8 kw showers why not bigger motors ?
  12. If we are still selling wholesale will be a pleasure
  13. The price paid for chip for biomass has jumped up recently this has to have an effect on clean softwood available. Last year the supermarkets were selling kindling cheap at around a £1 a kilo . This year I see Tesco selling small bags around 1.5 kilos for £2.99 we have held our price for 3 years at £1.80 for 3.7 kilos but our timber source is drying up so the only way we will survive is to pay more for the raw material and increase our price. I would say £2.30 is about right . If we can’t get that sort of money I will shut down but I think a lot of others already have that is why we have been so manically busy recently
  14. We are not far if you want to collect
  15. 6 pallets 126 nets on ea pallet can deliver in the morning ?
  16. Yes very much so how many nets do you require and where are you based
  17. Waterproof covers to ensure our kindling reaches you bone dry
  18. We can deliver upto 630 nets on this trailer pm for prices

  20. The first load of pop I had burned nearly as well as the beech. The second load I used was awful so now I don’t take the chance now. Both were as well seasoned as each other
