    Book marking them for future reference. My Farmi's conveyor is not in it's first flush of youth!

    Love the use of super market baskets ?

    Yes I am a member of a BBQ group and if we were prepared to ship there would be more sales to be made. As it's turned out this season has been good and used up all the wood and more we had set aside for charcoal making. Mind you it's probably the best summer we have had here in 30 years so doubt next season will be as good.

    Agreed. Rained 17 days of the last 30 and had 7" in that period. Any signs of a drought are long gone here. Still pleased to see the back of the heat in spite of the rain that's replaced it.

    Looks like you have done well there. Got myself a 2017 one and it's a belter.
  6. Woodworks
    Thanks. Will give one a go. Was struggling to find one in the UK but tracked one down in China, delivered for £2.20 ?

    So are they very fine? The stuff I have to clean out is just fine dust.
  8. Woodworks
    No it didn't come with that filter just the one on the far left. Yes tank is always cleaned and the funnel used has a fine filter. Only had a major problem in the dry hot weather so I guess air born dust is sucked in through the filler cap (presume it lets air in to avoid a vacuum).

    The one in the tank is a fine mesh and and I dont know if the sort in the link need the fuel pumped through https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Universal-Inline-Fuel-Filter-Medium/361391018029?_trkparms=aid%3D555017%26algo%3DPL.CASSINI%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20160406134228%26meid%3D7c478d7582dc4fd2b51da0028d05853b%26pid%3D100625%26rk%3D3%26rkt%3D7%26%26itm%3D361391018029&_trksid=p2367844.c100625.m3682

    I run a firewood processor with a Honda GX390 engine on it. The snag I get is dust dust gets into the fuel tank and blocks the filter. The filter is screwed into the bottom of the tanks so to clean it I have to remove the tank. Not a big deal but it takes time and this has needed doing a lot in the dry weather this summer. Instead of the filter in the bottom of the tank is there any problem with fitting and inline filter and can you get cleanable ones? All the fuel get filtered when being poured in so I think it is just dust getting sucked in through filler cap.

    That's how I look at insurance in general. Save the money and put it in savings or as Matt says accepts that can be cashed in if need be. Might have a different view if things go tits up though!

    HEAT

    Woodworks replied to forestboy1978's topic in General chat

    It's a mixed bag. I hate being too hot the whole time, having to drink stupid amounts of water and covering the face in sunblock. On the other hand we have been doing a bit of tidying up around the farm and having dry ground that doesn't turn to mud when driven on and being able to sieve out rocks from piles of earth which are now like sand is a boon. Looks like a cool down is around the corner thankfully.

    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.
  14. Woodworks
    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.
  15. Woodworks
    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 ?
  16. Woodworks
    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.
  17. Woodworks
    Easy to say but harder to do. Already at £100 a cube + £5 if only buying 1 cube
  18. Woodworks
    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.
  19. Woodworks
    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.
  21. Woodworks
    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

    No mention of a battery in the blurb and image shows a cord! Over a 1k for a mains chainsaw it's surly a misprint or April fools joke.
  23. Woodworks
    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.
  24. Woodworks
    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.
