This probably been discussed before but here goes I've always been told to season most wood esp. oak for a couple of seasons. I know ash/birch/holly and some others ok without But this week we have cut down a few big oaks and our woodburner is burning like a furnace with chunks of green oak on it- though started with kindling(nice and dry). I noticed this last year with green cherry too Does anyone know if there are any detrimental effects from doing this- In fact the room is currently too hot to go in- only a 5kw stove though. Seems to me a mix of green birch/ash/oak with 2 or 3 week seasoned poplar kindling makes a good combination without the hassle of long term drying. Any thoughts?

if we all start charging too little then we all up the swannee Its a dangerous job- hard slog and our equipment/insurance is costly Not to mention 260 days paying staff for probably 220 days work due o holidays and bad weaher Fuel for chipper/vehicles saw stuff and ropes and replacement business rates- yard Best to price the job not day rates then you benefit when you get the job done quicker using experienced crew. Just my opinion

My choice is top of the range blowers echo or stihl-sihl being quieter blow into bushes as a pile and rake into big bags-not tonne bags when wet as lifting is hard. Been doing it for years and it works well- trouble with the billy goat style leaf collector is that the leaves when heavy mean you have to take the weight and this can be a bit hard. Then theres emptying the bag plus you have to push it over the whole area to collect all leaves where a blower with a quick flick will deal with light leaf cover. Also blowers clear under cars which a billy goat can't. Up to you tho

Just to watch out as if you have a bad boss he could always say that you cut down the wrong tree and then you may be hauled over the coals:sneaky2:
