Exactly. Happens to everyone who stores firewood. Drier in the summer, damper in the Autumn and winter, it's a fact. So essentially stoves suppliers only suggest kiln dried logs or wood that's 18%. Commercially air dried firewood will get to 20% rarely less. This will burn perfectly well. It's very annoying when customers are misled to thinking anything over 18% is simply not good enough and God forbid, don't ever ever ever even think about softwood.

And 25% firewood burns absolutely fine. Agree that in the depths of cold damp winters forget anything less than 20%. The huge log piles outside every Scandinavian home are they 16%, nope. They might be once inside and warmed by the stove but do the stove sellers tell the totally unknowledgeable customers this? I've been burning firewood a long time and anything 25 or less is perfectly acceptable to sell and burn.
-
Agreed and of course they know it makes sense to burn drier wood. Efficiency apparently is a different matter needing some moisture to create a longer burn etc. Won't be long before we are taxed for having a chimney.
-
Can't remember where, but I read recently that it's illegal in some country, think somewhere in Scandanavia, to burn or sell wood thats higher than 25%
-
So if all wood is at around 20% it would be interesting to know exactly how much that "minimises pollution" Interesting reading though, thanks for that.
-
Yup, sure does.

"We quite often pick up work from houses backing on to the rail so that's also a nice bit of bounce" You keep mentioning bounce, what is that exactly?

Bounce money. Says it all.

What a shocking attitude. Disgraceful.

I think a lot of folk hold out til Spring with firewood. Time to stock up for winter 17

Big league, that's a lot if wood in less than a month!

Think that could just about be it for this years logs. Slowed right down.

I'm interested in that question as well. I tow pretty much every day and like to think of myself as pretty damn good at it

As I write this my dog is lying next to me. She's been with me everyday for 9 years. I feel for you my friend, he looks like he absolutely loved you

But these are covered...

Keep your opinions to yourself if all you can be is offensive to someone who has just died. Still a tit

How do you move it about?
-
You're the tit. A thick one to boot.

The timbers in my barn, undercover for bloody years are reading 20 at this time of year!
