  1. Hello all,

     

    I'm just a lowly wood burning Joe who has recently taken delivery of a large Ash tree, (thanks Erskine Tree Surgeons, Glasgow). Whilst I plan to season and burn the smaller stuff, I cannot bring myself to burn the large Ash Discs

     

    I was thinking a table top (can you buy cast iron legs?) or a bench but that's as far as I got. Can you help please?

    I'm no expert and only have basic tools! (chainsaw, electric planer, chop saw etc.)

     

    Thanks, Cris

  2. Hello,

     

    I was hoping someone might be able to identify this tree please, I have a wee wood burner and the chance of a trailer load (windfall) but don't know if its any good for burning. It's quite heavy and seems like it would be okay once seasoned but I'm no expert!

  3. I like to use birch for kindling to get the fire going then its ash all the way. Loads of heat and splits easily. Oak and beech come a close second.

     

    Never tried Hawthone or Holly but would like too. I've some cherry seasoning for this winter which I hear produces a nice smell.

     

    I steer well clear of London Plane and Poplar!
