Academic etiquette and writing
likeitorlumpit replied to Tony Croft aka hamadryad's topic in Training & education
Hours spent in the library nicking anything remotely related to the research et al seemed to crop up quite a bit. I've since used it on xmas cards- academia gets to you- it's not showing off- it just becomes natural -
East Kent- Holm Oak loves the coast

which leads to me wondering if bugger is a swear word on these boards

does invasive mean that it spreads of its own accord In which case it most definately is and I've noticed it growing faster in the past 5 years or so.

Spot on Though I do hate being late Everyone knows the day the sat nav says you have 20mins extra to get there only to be caught in traffic and having to make phone call- judge a man on whether he remembered to take the customers phone number with him!

we found a 'level' load on a cabstar was 2-2.4m depending on where you call level. Dumpy bag= 0.6cu.m. so at least 3 per load Thats why at £45/bag they seem so cheap- it equates to about £150 /cabstar load. I think what you really need are repeat customers who value what you sell. Look after them and they will look after you. The reason customers are asking all these questions is because they have been ripped off so many times. Just come back from garden centre where they are selling bag os 11 logs for £5.99-

I have a 5kw stove with a stove top fan but have to say you can't feel any air movement- I think they are just show. We load up the stove fully and when it gets too hot which is most nights then start up the summer fan to get air moving around and out through the door. The room above the fire gets warm as the chimney warms it up. You can feel the jet stream of warm rising air as you go up the stairs but it doesnt really penetrate into the other upstairs rooms other than the top one

actually the best answer- no levers needed just a brain

So really it's not necessarily a question of moisture content although that will result in heavier logs. It's all about hot fire resulting in hot flue resulting in less deposits. I never had a chimney fire in many years of fires though I have had the process described to me- vibrating house/ much smoke/much fear In the past I only really burned wood on open fires in grates and there was little benefit in using green wood as it usually burned slowly if at all. Todays woodburners are more like furnaces and I think that means we can get away with using green. Anyone else with views or maybe someone on here has done some research projects- I know it's not really degree standard stuff but is becoming a valid area for research

This is what I don't really grasp Why will the chimney tar up There is a good draw The fire is very hot meaning the liner is also hot which I thought meant that tar wouldn't condense out. I get the thing about using energy to dry out the green logs- but I have tonnes of wood so this isn't an issue- we just load up the fire maybe a bit more than usual- though it doesn't seem like it. I can understand that burning green wood on a poor fire that is struggling to get going would be bad news for the chimney as it wouldn't warm up but this isn't the case- the fire burns like a good 'un. I'm challenging conventional wisdom maybee If you can burn green ash then why not green anything so long as you have a hot 'healthy' fire Thanks for the replies- I just want to get this straight
