  2. Thank You for the kind words Ashley, pleasure doing business with you! Dan
  3. Hi Matt, we have plenty of Kiln Dried Ash cut to 10". Give us a call on 02075118147 or email [email protected] for more details. Dan
  4. Looks good apart from few bugs ie 'click for more..." on slides, nothing happens if you click, Item description could do with larger text box, so one wouldn't need to scroll down to read it. If I was a customer looking for a log store on your website, good chance I would miss it as it is placed under services. I found few more tiny bugs, but nothing that could not be resolved within few minutes. all the best, dan
  5. it doesn't, just slightly effect on presence
  6. the highest bid at the moment £100 per crate, from a person outside this forum.
  7. we're going in circles here and its getting late. Good nite
  8. OK I'll try again... according to FC document posted by Acilidon before 1tonne hardwood at 20%m/c would produce ~4300kw/h if you dry it down to 10% m/c it loses 100kg of its mass, so it is no longer 1000kg- its 900kg 1000kg hardwood at 10% produces ~4700kw/h so, 4700 x 0.9 = 4230kw/h 4230 < 4300 This is what I am suggesting.
  9. heh nice try, but I'm afraid you are wrong here sir. Your statement that "The drier it is the less energy is wasted drying moisture out so the higher the heat output." is correct, BUT you forget one important factor. Wood becomes lighter when it gets drier. And heat output is calculated by weight. 1tonne of wood at 30% would lose 20% of its mass if you decide to dry it down to 10%. Yes, calorific value per tonne increases, but it looses 20% of its mass. I've done a simple study on optimum m/c on hardwood logs in the past and came to conclusion that ~22% m/c is what we need to aim for.
  10. I don't see anything wrong with kilning, as long as the kiln is fired up by wood waste or straw or anyth similar. Once you have a kiln set up, you can sell much more dry logs with less investment. Basically you don't need to prepare 2 years in advance, you buy round wood as you go .
  11. I wish you told me that before :biggrin:
