  10. and the goverment subdising biomass plants, i just hope it dose not kill the mill here as they need wood too
  11. i am planning on getting a narrow kerf to handy to know about the felling bar
  12. :thumbup: come be brave and tell her you not going to light it, but to put a nother lare on!! ours have hardly been lit since the end of feburary and we only lit them to take the chill of the house and to stop burst pipes, when it was -20. i do have 2, 24 hour hot water bottles that are easy to use and they are green, Running on biomass, and they work yes you may have gessed they are my dogs, i use to sneek my first one up stairs to my bed when every one else was alseep when see was a puppy i was 10, and now they both hardly eaver miss a night now, when i am at home and not at uni.
  13. i was speeking to a one of the fc foresters from Aberdeenshire in march and they said they could sell most of wood for biomass but they were having to set some to the side to sell it to the mill cheeper as they would not have been able to cover there costs. this extra demand is good as it is making it more viable to thinn and start to manage them again for the small producer. Most do not realise the shear cost of forestry Oprations and cost per tree letlone it being a one off. i would tell them that timber is about £30 a tone on the road side and the cost to do that in cost about £14 a tone harvestest and extract on a easy site using a harvester costing £200000+ and a forwder costing about the same, and to make it pay you have to be harvesting about 70 trees an hour. so they will only make about £15 tone, now thats why we have to charge to take down there trees, and they are mostly such pore qulatiy timber they only good for biomass or pulp or to little volume so they are worth worthless any way so you still have all your costs, ps i hope my figures are not to far out
  14. what about the pulp mills they are getting worried espicaly with Balcas and E.On Steven's Croft, ect as they are strugling to get pulp, due to this extra dimand for biomass use. Edit: world wide wood is over half of all the wood is harvested for fuel, but in the uk this was not the case, if we do not go to carfully this extra demand for pulp type wood could have a demtral efect on the market,
