Light and easy to fall if they get tapped by the horse . So poles not made of something dense and heavy like ever green oak !

There is nothing wrong with your 2 year old wood . As I said it can get rained on when it is delivered and will no different to what you are selling . 2 year old woods that you describe are well seasoned . they have just got wet . They will dry out fine given the right conditions .... lots of wind / air , off the ground and the top covered .

Green wood is live wood . wet wood is wet wood but still can be well seasoned . I have felled dead standing elms , you cant get more seasoned than that . But if it gets wet it does not help its burning capabilities What I am saying is Wet seasoned wood is way better than fresh cut live wood . Dry seasoned wood is even better !

I think there is a distinct difference between " green " freshly cut wood and well seasoned but wet wood . The green wood has moisture that has been taken up by the tree . Seasoned but rained on wood is a different in as much as it will dry out quicker than " green " wood in a given environment . Look at the situation where a guy has dry stored 2 year old wood and its pissing down on delivery day and he tips it onto the driveway and it pisses down all day until the bloke gets home from work . That wood aint gonna burn too well to start with but it will dry out and burn sooner than fresh cut live wood . Thats my experience any ways .

log burner not producing much heat?
Stubby replied to roglog's topic in Log burning stoves and fireplaces
I thought that if you open the doors you get a bit more heat for a short while but then you loose more up the flue ? -

Stubby replied to roglog's topic in Log burning stoves and fireplaces
Definitely seal the gap around the register plate and if there is air space around the flue above the plate insulate as well . From the picture there seems to me, to be not enough Clarence around the stove and it is set in a bit far . I know this is dictated by the position of the outlet lining up with the flue but I think they radiate better with more air around them . May be you could do something about the brick work ? -
We just got a text to say my sons school in Midhurst is closed . The roads are passable at the moment but to get there from here means going over Cocking hill which usually is a problem afer a while .

Don't wast your hard earned wonga ! Save a bit more and go for one of the new more efficient stoves . I have a Burley at 98% efficiency but there are other makes that are similar .
