Long term storage of ash for firewood - how best to go about it?
Stubby replied to carbs for arbs's topic in Firewood forum
I have a lump of ash that is at least 20 years old and I use it for sharpening up on the back of my truck . It has 2 holes for the stump vice and as you say its like concrete ! -
Its not new . Lots of people use veg oil here . I don't like it myself but hey .
-
I disagree . The calorific value of wood/weight is pretty much the same . So a big old lump of dense Holm oak or Hawthorn will give off more energy than the same size lump of say Spruce but the soft wood splits easier , is usually " gun barrel " strait so always processor friendly so quicker to convert . In fact I would say Larch burns hotter than most hard woods if a little quicker . I mix it with hard wood some times but don't think hard wood is actually " more bang for your buck " when all things are considered . Just me .

Why ?
-
Start it up and run it till the point it starts to die and then open the fuel cap . If it picks up again then the vent is blocked .
-
Blocked tank vent ?

Oh you won't be short on interest . These big 3 series saws are sought after .

-
You will never use it again if you sell it that's for sure . I think for the sake of £ 700 odd you would be mad . Just me .

Exactly . Sycamore is THE least labor intensive fire wood going .

Its the blank of England on a PC .

I love Sycamore . Grows quickly , splits easy peasy , seasons quick ( as long as rain is kept off and air flow allowed ) and burns as well as Ash or Beech . Even burns fine with a bit of mould on it ! 👍
-
Fair play . I would see it as its not eating any bread and when that next big ugly job comes up I won't have to buy another one .
-
Same .
-
I would say that its worth .......Keeping ! 👍

Phew ! That's ok then .

So is the vaccine a waste of time IYO ?
-
I know 2 people who caught after having the first Pfizer vaccine . It was said that their symptoms would have been a lot more severe had they not had the first part of the vaccine .

Hey Will . Nicely done bud . When you drop a big heavy stick like that in a domestic situation do you check for underground utility's etc ?

Could be a Fern leaved beech ?

Left my 372 out in the rain and sitting on its side ( starter cover upper most ) . Never used it again that day . Went to start it a couple of days later and pulled the rope and the chain went round . Plenty of WD40 around the clutch bearing and it freed up . Don't leave them on their side !

All depends on the choice of tires . Ice is winter tires only . Mud terrains are no good on ice . Also if you have diff lock as well as high and low 4wd .

The fuel went in the bike . Its an old army trick ! 👍

There was a Shell 5 star pump in our village when I was a nipper . Used to put it in my Royal Enfield Constellation coz I thought it was best .
