we sometimes get chestnut that we could put in a kiln, you say small kiln out of an oil drum - i may sound daft but is it that simple - just fill tightly your oil drum, drill holes in bottm which becomes top? tip upside down and seal around with sand, stand on tiles? is this right? as would like to give it a go

OMG - i dont believe it - and you call yourself a firewood man! better send some pledge over for you dave - are you turning all Tony Blackburn on us all
-
how do you mean?

thats what sycamore and h/chestnut go like anyway tbh - if you left it in the cord wood, youd find that when you cut it you get a fine black power dust from the drying of the wood - those logs look fine - looking well seasoned, splitting at ends and will burn just great - you will never get them to look nice and clean - thats the nature of that wood. sycamore is great firewood but doesnt look particulary clean looking, beech will go a nice dark colour once seasoned, birch can go over if not sold just at the precise time, ash stays nice and clean looking tbh thats why we dont fell alot chestnut, just for the shear length of time to dry on a commercial basis - we stick with beech, ash, oak, birch then sycamore in that order - only use the chestnuts if we fell in part of our tree surgery basis and then probably only give it to relatives etc as it smoulders weve found. dont worry dave youve done everything fine

youd think so r/john but weve just come back from our local agricultural show, where we had a stand promoting our wood and trying to promote softwood alongside hardwood - the stove installers have really made it hard to push s/wood as theyve given it such a bad name to the joe public. we had such negative feedback from potential customers for softwood they only want hardwood - which weve got - dont get me wrong - but like you say r/john were going to have to go onto this at some point as hardwoods getting harder to source at a competative price - or it makes switching that oil or gas central heating back on cheaper than firing up your stove

i always think a website should be informative , its nice to read some background about the business/people and read friendly- but masses of writing can be off putting, nice pics always add interest, keep simple to start and then can add to it, is there another company similar to yours you could see what headings/pages they run and get some ideas?
-
could be the stress control playing up ?
-
ic, do you use the mesh cubic nets, that fit into the frame, like a big log net bag? with the pull cord around the top? weve got those also - logs dry really well in them
-
they must be smallish bags - builders bags? - as believe me, you couldnt move our drying net bags each one is shaken with the loadall as its filled to really pack them in - even when dry you wouldnt even move it with three or four people
-
not found any that are uv stable, will leave these uncovered for a month say to dry out then will cover with sheets to save the nets deteriorating, then once dried out thoroughly we cover with pallet covers before backend, but alot of ours goes straight out to customers who store undercover anyway
-
had a R reg old ldv tipper, bloomin brill truck, only got rid as it was really tired and wanted some work on it and had a few probs getting bits for it - but way cheaper on fuel costs compared to the 05 transit crewcab weve got now - but we love the ford now, plenty more poke, a bit higher geared than the old ldv and much more comfy for that longer work day - wouldnt swop the transit now - brilliant trucks - get a 115 engine
-
wow - well done for having that camera about - what a privilage to see something like that so close
-
ditto
-
tbh mike, never put it all in a pile, as dont have a "push wall" to load up with the loadall, so always either left the cord wood to dry in a stack or cut into these nets and also use cubic metre nets that fit a frame, they are brill but can only really use them once
-
yes your right dave, we will space them when they start going out, as we sell alot of this whats cut now as "part seasoned", then when re filling the bags later on, say july time wewill space them so that the wood does season thatmuch quicker for october onwards - always have about 200 nets + at a time - time and space permitting
-
left uncovered through the summer the pallets then covered backend if not sold before with pallet covers, the bulk nets just lef outside - once seasoned the wind keeps them dry

put the new bolsters on trailer this week
Joy Yeomans replied to Joy Yeomans's topic in Large equipment
not had a problem yet, touch wood, 24t gross fully loaded and not had a problem all winter. charlie - can always put the hay gormers on the small green trailer if your wanting to cart small bales - can get about 120 on that fully loaded
