    I went into Scatts a few (10) years ago with £400 to spend on a Barbour. I was the first customer of the day and the lady serving gently whispered that the scatts own brand wax coats were almost exactly the same coat and a quarter of the price. Took her advice and the coat remains excellent to this day.

    Tough tough graft. Proper days work. Great video.

    Exactly the same as ours. We live in 70s built chalet bungalow and each year I get a cornflake bowl of soot coming out and the stove is lit everyday for 6 months

    Second the Burley. Punts out the heat and super efficient

    I thought some type of alder

    Handsaw

    richardwale replied to dumper's topic in General chat

    I know exactly what you mean about green sleepers. Can you mark your line and cut right of the line with a pico chain ms 180 or similar removing the bulk of the tight wood and then cut the remaining tight to the line with a handsaw, giving a clean cut?

    Like we always say, as long as it's dry. I'll burn any firewood, apart from toxic ones of course, but it has to be dry, simples.

    What a crazy situation. It seems odd that someone with a kiln still buys imported kiln dried firewood!

    I know a sweep who uses a twin “engine” black Henry that sucks up just about everything. He swept my chimney with the stove door wide open and not a speck of soot anywhere.

    Don't be so ridiculous. Of course it's not the dogs fault. It's a one time preventative method of solving the problem, and it doesn't harm the dog at all, it's a shock tactic. Oh and pat your dogs head for writing his own post.

    Cordon off the area with a line of electrified tape. One nose tap on that and he'll never come back, guaranteed. Know a chap who cordons of field, chicken runs lawn areas using the same method. He electrifies it once or twice and then disarms it as the dog NEVER goes there again.

    Nothing wrong with pop. Great firewood.

    I wish there was a shaking head emoji. Talking about imported kiln dried firewood being drier than other imported kiln dried firewood.
  15. richardwale
    Couldn’t agree more ?

    10% oak logs, perfection in my opinion. Please please don't spray with water, I beg you!

    bone dry furniture/wood in a warm house should not be 10 to 12 %. Less than 6 for sure and on most metres not even highlighting. Dont reckon it's worth spending money on high end metres as dry firewood is pretty obvious to tell, and we all know anything less than 25......

    Leaf or bark? Bark on the cork is totally different.
  19. richardwale
    Sorry am I right in thinking you re kilned imported kiln dried firewood?
  20. richardwale
    I want to do exactly the same kind of thing...interested to hear any success stories
  21. richardwale
    Yup, all back to normal. Cheers
  22. richardwale
    Nor me

    Hard to remember but it’s about the right timescale
  24. richardwale
    Yeah about a week ago. It isn’t a case of fast or slow internet I just can’t log on at all using WiFi
  25. richardwale
    Any ideas? Simply can’t get arbtalk through the home WiFi, not on phones or tablets. Have to turn off the WiFi to get it, a real pain. It’s just suddenly stopped working.
