  1. Thanks Kindlett, I know. There's lots of dealers etc that I can buy from , I was rather hoping to attract the attention of someone who may already have some & was looking to unload them. Save myself a few quid & help some one who doesn't want them anymore to shift them.
  2. Ha, would you now:) ! Best of luck, it's very rewarding I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

  3. Apologies Steve is this is pushing it, I've just placed the same notice in the classifieds, but on the off chance it's allowed to be here to here goes: Hi all, I'm looking for the following: 4x40ft shipping containers, 2x20ft shipping containers, other sizes considered too at the right price. I don't need the cleanest smartest units, just weather proof & not rotten. I need them delivered to postcode NE70. We're on a very tight budget, please contact me if you think you can help. Very best wishes. Nathalie. If it's not allowed (to post in 2 sections), please feel free to remove which ever one is least appropriate.
  4. Would you like me to come help you split & deliver it?
  5. I asked the oilve bar a few questions about their product as to if it were wood based, had olive oil in or what have you glue, parafin etc. What tax bracket it fell under, how the justified the lengthy transportation & so on as a "friendly product". They didn't know & I'm still waiting for them to find out, any day now they tell me! So Renewable John, we're agreed, it's not for us
  6. As I said, I'm not knocking the practicality of turning waste into product. Just don't see the need to go dragging half way across a continent to sell it. It makes no sense enviromentaly or finacially. If it's that good, they'll have no problem selling it where it's made. Put it this way, I can't sell enough logs or charcoal, & I would bet most of the other firewood sellers on here would say the same, & that's without exporting our logs or charcoal to the other side of Europe.................
  7. Yeah, that's what I thought, makes me mad, another way for importers to get fat & producers to make sod all! Right up there with imported charcoal, I feel a rant coming on. I'll go sit in a dark room & have a quite word with myself.............
  8. Yeah, they've been on to us too. Great idea if you live in a country that produces olive trees & needs to find a good use for waste wood. But I don't see how bringing it all the way over here is cost effective when we have our own woods to manage & bring back into use. Logs are expensive enough as it is & that's assuming you buy them from the guy down the road who looks after a local woodland. How much do you think it would cost to buy these assuming they're coming from the middle east or the garlic belt? Plus, if we're using solid fuel to save on fossil fuel, sticking these on a container ship & sending them over here hardly seems to fit in with that ethos.
  9. Hi, been on this site a week or so now & love it, really helpful & friendly. Looking forward to getting more of you. Very best wishes, NFWS & LINDISFARNE CHARCOAL - BELFORD
  10. The Landy is clean as a whistle, works hard but gets looked after well. Don't let the Disco fool you, it's a beast & I think the pics flatter it! Thanks, we're having a great summer & the schools aren't even out yet!!!!!!
  11. Depends on your attitude to life & money, we are very busy, & very happy!
  12. That's us on country file
  13. Hi, yes this is our living, along with with logs we keep busy all year. Our site is NFWS & LINDISFARNE CHARCOAL - BELFORD Cheers, Natalie.
  14. If you're doing it for money, you're doing it wrong.........
  15. I'll be posting some pics & videos on my site soon, showing how we do it. The longer you do it & the better you get, the more of your own ways you get into, but the principles are all ways the same. I'll post back when they're done.
  16. £65 per M3 delivered & stacked, all hard, all seasoned & all from thinning work.
  17. Good to read such positive replies about British Charcoal, we could do with more burners, some regions have no one at all. C'mon in & get dirty!
  18. I wanted to add a little crane to mine, but thought the extra nose weight would mess it up. Most of what goes on mine I can lift on & off, but I've some beech thinning to do, & the trees coming out are down tracks only accessible by quad & this timber hauler. It'll take the weight of them, even if they come out slowly, but getting them on to the trailer will be exhausting work, AGAIN! But great little trailer, wouldn't be without it for anything.
