    I don't know what volume people have built there kiln dryed sales up to but are you not worried where the woods going to corm from to supply the boilers? It's all right burning waste wood most of the guys I know want to put fairly hefty lumps on so it's not full of air caps

    Hiab trailer customer drive

    I'm still not sold on the idea if I have not made a decision by the end of the month it all be made for me as it will not be viable Government have subsidised industry before and then ripped the contract up less than half way through the term.

    It's a cool machine but in my yard would be shagged with in a year.

    This is the problem with it been subsidised. People treat the subsidy as profit when it goes away there left with profit at an all time low. Plus it will lead to a price war and were the only ones that will loos. I didn't think you sold firewood to the GP Dave?
  6. Mortimer Firewood
    Yes you do it's a no brainier

    Most people I know with kilns are running the kiln dried along side there seasoned lines. Nothing in life is garenteed even less so when the government are involved once they start hitting targets for the 2020 agreement they won't care about biomass Make the most you can while you can. Another cutter saying 5 years then problems are going to start I'm seeing it all ready. Lads paying £65 a tonne for oak then bussing it in from 100 miles away at 16 a tonne because there getting subsided on it . Firewood will be dead in 10 years make money while you can

    By next winter that will be some good firewood at the moment the beech seams to be drying quicker than Ash.

    We have had the head master of local school buy firewood off us since we started he retired last year and wanted a discount on his firewood I told him the price was the price he said I can buy imported kiln dryed for £150 for 2 Cube. He is back with us now he had a crate of ash which if you split the logs in half would be kindling which burnt in minutes.

    Beech less than 9 months old left in the round cut left for a few weeks it's ready to go. Ours all came from a harvester that ripped a lot of the bark off so that've makes the difference.
  14. Mortimer Firewood
    Oak and chestnut are the best once kiln dried just don't like paying water
  15. Mortimer Firewood
    Not again pleaseb:laugh1:
  16. Mortimer Firewood
    Yes but it's crap to work with take ages to dry as it still has all the bark on as it's hand cut. It's not worth more than £38 if you can get more fair play to you
  17. Mortimer Firewood
    I'm amazed you don't come across this every week on your rounds we do and every merchant I know does

    Who said anything about burning wet wood most of our clients are happier when the wood is at 22%. The vast majority don't know how to control there fire. We had nothing but complaining about kiln dried burning to quick. There not going to pay more for a product that in there eyes burns quicker. Given up trying to educate just listen to feed back and supply what they ask.
  21. Mortimer Firewood
    We got a local company down your way looking for return loads were just stacked out with local cord at the moment it will soon go though
  22. Mortimer Firewood
    Is there hard standing next to that stack
  23. Mortimer Firewood
    If I sell 10 bags I cut 20 works for us . Barns full fields full yards going to be full when my haulier pulls his finger out. Lot of locals have been put off by kiln dried as it just burns to quick.
  24. Mortimer Firewood
    We had hornbeam cut in late July split and bags stored in windy site going out by end of December at 22% customers can't get enough of it. Mind you the bigger bits with buttresses on did make the processor work hard twisty nasty grain
  25. Mortimer Firewood
    My only concern with kiln drying is should we really be using good quality soft wood to dry other wood. All the older cutters are saying with in a decade there will be no stands left to cut. I'm still not sold on idea
