I dont get much recent info from googling croydon tree station, is it now called something else, (and sorry for the derail)

you may find it is soaked in nasties from the railway and kicks up a bit when you light the fire. I used a top rail off an oak gate to make a hearth surround, when we put the planer on it it stank of creosote, even thou to look at it was just a beautiful oak colour.

Nice installation, how many kw? And what is your plant room made of?

Leylandii to charcoal ? It is worth the time and money?
farmer rod replied to wrighttrees's topic in General chat
Rich, it was a Heizohack crane fed that takes up to 400mm, about £700 per day. To be able to store chips you need to get them below 35% mc, they ought to be 30% when going into the boiler, less is better. The machine will chip anything but if you put arbwaste/lumpwood through it tends to have more shards as the log turns sideways going in, so long lengths are better. The shards can block the boiler feed mechanism. Im still learning a lot about all this, we only put the boiler in last summer, and Ive used up what I though was an enormous pile of wood that we had on the farm, so always looking for more, provided it doesn't cost too much! -

I would want to keep some weight transfer to the tractor for less drag and more traction.

I have just clad a shed with some chestnut, no sign of movement (touch wood) and when it colours down a bit it will look lovely. (and obviously it needs tidying up inside)

Al I have to ask, is there a scientific reason for the beer cans, or is it just a useful place to put them?

I have seen trees die from water from leaking water mains, maybe the chlorine, perhaps worth a thought

17 Bays of cleft chestnut 2 rail, 1 man 1 day in fairly rubbish ground, holes all hand dug. (I didnt do it myself, I reckon it would have taken me three days)

The peat and smoke comes from the drying of the malted grains, so in the Highland and Islands a more peaty tradition, but anywhere wood grows a more woody smoke.

You were safer with the taste and smell of wet Scotch Terrier, but now you have been hooked. If you can find a pub with a good selection of malts, you will have hours of endless entertainment deciding which is your favourite, from Laphroaig (nearly neat diesel but awesome) to Highland Park from Orkney there is one for every occasion.

You might be able to apply for entitlements as a new entrant. Im so out of date now because I havent dealt with it for a while, but if you want a bit of light reading then get the guidance notes and spend a few evenings!

Huck, the heat exchangers are are physically pretty small, but by the time you add the pipes, the take a bit of space. Sorry I dont know the make. The district heating pipe does have a loss, regularly quoted as 25 watts per metre, 60m therefore is 1.5 kW (24/7) is 36kWh per day, at 3 pence is nearly £400 just to run the pipe. ( but no sweat if the logs are cheap)

I was standing behind a lady who asked for a Tesco Burger, the assistant said "Would you like anything on that" she replied "Yes, a fiver each way"
