  1. Just a point on stacking. I found by making a front and back wall and filling the middle loosely, that over time as the wood dried it pushed the walls out. I now stack in rows.

    Copper spots

    Chopping some up today for next year. Will be put under cover then. Nothing to worry about then I assume?
  3. Anyone any idea what this is on my firewood?
  4. Picked up some free firewood the other day but not sure what type it is. Over to the more experienced professionals. Thanks
  5. Had the same problem with a lawn mower. The insulation was breaking down on the coil when hot so very weak spark. Changed the coil and starts first time now hot or cold.
  6. Windows 10 with classic shell every time.
  7. Single doors show off the flames better as well.
  8. Got a similar size stone wall cottage with spiral staicase and an 8KW Woodwarm Enigma. It's very rare that the fire is on full heat and most of the time is on low. I do light the fire every day in winter usually late afternoon but find the 32" solid walls act as a storage heater to some degree.
  9. Had exactly the same on a lawnmower. Cleaned carb, changed plug and filter but still the same. Replaced the ignition coil and it now starts and runs as new. Think the insulation was breaking down with the heat.
  10. Just noticed another come up with 0 feedback but different location; Husqvarna 550 XP Professional Chainsaw 20" Bar Authorized Dealer New In Box! | eBay
  11. If it's too good to be true. Anyone risking it. Husqvarna 562 XP Pro Forestry Chainsaw 24" Bar Authorized Dealer New In Box! | eBay

    Seems quite impressive and professional.
  13. Engine oil normally from ASDA when it's on offer.

    Horse chestnut

    I've found it very light once seasoned, so burns fast with not too much heat. Apart from that if it's free I'll burn it.

    Pine?

    No problem with burning it. The problem tends to be the sap that comes out under the bark, very sticky and hard to get off hands.
  16. Thinking of buying second hand 365 special. Any comments on saw very welcome.
  17. Split some more today and like most have said split fairly easily. Still had a few twisted ones which I struggled with. Gave the floor a miss this time and used my big chopping log to split them on.
  18. OK tried again today on the chopping log and it did split Ok but the log was more twisted than it looked.
  19. Good thinking roys. I did just throw it on the ground on top of some sawdust for testing as I couldn't be bothered to get the chopping log out. I'll try it again tomorrow.
  20. These are green logs as in cut down 2 days ago and I'm using a Fiskars x27 on them. They are pretty straight and mostly knot free it's just the axe bounces off them.
  21. Had a load of free Sycamore for firewood the other day. Any advice on splitting as the axe just bounced off it. It is freshly cut and I normally find this the best time to split most wood. Any first hand thoughts of it as firewood as never burnt it before. Thanks
  22. Nice video. My only comment would be there's no contact information or delivery areas covered.
  23. Anyone had any first hand experience of burning holly when correctly seasoned. The firewood poem says it's poor, but I've burnt many a poor wood before with no problems and plenty of heat.
  24. You are also supposed to have an air inlet to the outside. I think 6" diameter if I remember correctly. Even my installer thought I didn't need one as the house is pretty much open plan and enough ventilation through all the windows/doors. And he is an HETAS certified installer.
