    So does the automatic knife adjust it's own hight? Can it do a better job than reading the wood yourself and adjusting it manually? Sometimes you have to move the blade what would seem like the wrong way to allow for wavy grain.

    Not sure that's true. There is one seller delivering out this way. Offering cheaper logs kiln dried on RHI. Was always dreading a subsidised log seller to compete with but thought we had got away with it but sadly not.

    I did some for us with just a large washer head screw and plug. Couple years on all still solid. Dont put linseed oil on them though unless you want them to go black ?

    Yes we did sell out but it's the coldest winter since we started. Put our prices up and have mild one and get left with piles of wood doesn't sound good. It's not as if the public who are buying the logs have had hansom pay increases so they will feel it for sure. We may just risk but going over the £100 mark feels like a threshold.

    Easy to say but harder to do. Already at £100 a cube + £5 if only buying 1 cube

    We have a GSHP but it's not for everyone. GSHPs are way more efficient running at low output temps so really needs to be in a well insulated home and much better with UFH. The sellers will say you dont need these things but without your running costs will be sky high.

    Debating putting our prices up but in reality we have not experienced many price rises in recent years. When we started we we were paying around 55 a cube delivered in and now around 60. Thats £2.50 to add to a cube of logs. Petrol for the processor has gone up down and now back up again. I guess we should probably be looking at another fiver but always scared of driving customers away when some of the competition are already cheaper than us.

    Messing around with a new gas burning system last night and collecting wood tars my now be an option. Any ideas on how it is harvested so to speak? Fitted a gas overflow pipe to mine and plenty of wood tar was condensing on the secondary flue. Thing is it's coming out the same pipe that the excess gas does and I need to flare that for a clean burn.

    Well that makes a change. My insurance has gone down this year! Get so used to renewals going up year on year and shopping around for a better deal but makes a change to have it drop £20 and save the hassle of hunting for a better deal. Aviva by the way

    Can you not get the Farmi to do it? Do quite a bit for others with mine and it's slow but rarely leave anything un-split. A single blade helps with the toughest work. Think Riko may supply one now or if not get one made up.

    Saw a good demo of one at the APF 2 years ago. Might have been the next size up but if I was offering a mobile splitting service it would be on the short list as it looked a well thought out machine.

    Adding a bit of horseradish to a tuna mayo really perks it up.

    Dont forget the bunch of electric gadgets that go wrong and a DPF ?

    A no here. Love stoves but ours is not as good as expected.

    Been too hot for a couple of months and we have missed the worst of the heat down here in the SW. Been working early and late and taking it easy in the hottest bit (the joys of being a one man band). Back to wet and windy today and loving it but will be fed up with when it doesn't stop for six months haha

    You have to have some bedding not necessarily sawdust.

    Is 400c very hot? Never measured our stove but I know our charcoal retort gets far hotter than that without suffering damage. Never damaged a stove to date from over firing. Excluding damaged fire board which I presume is normal wear and tear.

    Get a branch logger and find a market for the product?

    We get 1000 litre IBCs for £20 each and should last an age. Some of them do need a good cleaning out though.

    Strange as there is nothing obvious on their page. They used to for sure as I just met this https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/posch-log-splitter-pto-driven-tractor-john-deere-massey-ferguson-/142830807083?rmvSB=true&nma=true&si=go0OidREkBuSNGAL7AWORKj%2FAkY%3D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

    I thought a table was an option on the Posch. The Krpan one was too small and low but easily rectified with a packer and a big sheet of steel.
  22. Woodworks
    Guess there is a regional element. Around here you see loads of Woodwarms but they are made here in Devon. Best stove I have used to date is a 12kw Woodwarm and meet plenty of log customers who also like the Clearview's.
  23. Woodworks
    If your getting something made I would make sure the blade is big ie deep. You dont often see it mentioned but the large blade increases productivity no end. You put a 12" ring on the table and with a 12" blade two cuts one side turn 90degrees make two more passes and you have nine logs. You see nice videos of dinky blades on the side of a big ring and they fall in half but dont find we get much wood which is that submissive.

    They look like great machines and one of very few that turn larger wood into saleable log sizes. So many amazing looking splitters making logs only suitable for large biomass boilers. Only down side of splitta I saw at a demo was you do get quite a bit of smaller kindling sized bits from the edges of the log. Do you sieve these out or just let them go in with the logs? arboculturist If you are serious about a Krpan you are welcome to pop up and give it a demo

    Ah damit. Saw the pictures and thought told you so then read your post ? Not a clue
