What is the best retort to make charcoal commercially?
Stubby replied to Africoal's topic in Firewood forum
My old mate Alan Waters has the first Exeter they made . Its looking a bit battered now but still does the job . -
I used to love the smell of R40 . I am sure modern synthetics do a better job but they don't smell as good !

Warm , sunny , some light cloud . Good to be alive !

Superb !

Also its not a Fir . Laylandii of some type .

And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers , and you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you . Sorry could not resist Kev ?

I have pretty much always had Husqvarnas . When the first pro saw came with a primer bulb ( think it was the first 50cc 346 but still with the orange side cover ) I was scathing , suggesting punctured bulbs on thorns and the like . Its never happened to me and I would not be without one now . 3 pulls from cold instead of 6 or 7 . I'm a convert ! ?

Split impulse line ?

Its not the Aspen causing initial problems , Its the Aspen revealing the problems that the pump fuel as been slowly causing . If you run a saw on Aspen from the get go you wont get those problems . The pump fuel removes the coating from the rubber components that is there to keep it supple . The pump fuel itself will keep it supple until it eventually rots . Aspen won't remove the coating . Its when you switch from long time pump fuel use to permanent Aspen the rubber components stiffen and crack . Its not the Aspen doing it though .

It might have been very old stock possibly . The early stuff had an oil mixed with it that smelled like a chip shop . They have changed that now .

Mmmm . If it has and you have not been using it could be the problem ...?

Low impact forestry services in Devon and the South West

The guy posing with you there Jonathan , is that some sort of " Gimp " equipment in his mouth ? ? -
There is a new Fish and chip shop opened up near me . They are pretty good service wise ..?

If you go for Hornbeam ( related to Birch I believe ) they do tend to multi stem quite low down . Not a problem in itself but might not be the shape required . On the other hand it might be ! Very hard wood too .

My old Ariel Arrow 250 2t twin used to do 70 mph in third and then drop down to 62 mph in top ! You had to be flat on the tank but .

If its a young fox they usually go bonkers and kill everything , biting the heads off and leaving most of the bodies . . A Tawney will leave a ring of feathers were he has plucked it . If there are not many feathers it could be a number of predators including a person ! .

That's the future that is , Gaelic bread .?

Actually it is capitalize and capitalization . I capitalize tree names as I feel they are important and warrant it , although I admit it is incorrect . ?
