    It was one of the inspector people at Vosa while I was being charged for overloading he told us some of the things to be careful of to avoid any further issues.
  2. Logsnstuff
    you can be prosecuted if you give too much away as it is not the amount ordered I have been told there is 5%+- above that your in trouble again.

    Like I said had it from the guys mouth if I get caught with split logs in a trailer and no tacho I would be charged, unless they send me an email response contrary I'll continue to use my tacho.

    I changed my descriptions from cubic meters to bag dimensions but I think tomorrow I'll change it again to both.

    it's making me curious what has got this started. someone in the council maybe got shorted on a log order. perhaps they will start checking Mc to see that seasoned logs are in fact seasoned next.

    is this your interpretation or have they actually told you this? when they changed the name guess they changed the rules too. when they were vosa I and others were told if the goods are ready for sale then you need to have a tachograph even if you are carrying them back to your yard. unsplit rings are not a finished product so no tachograph required. I would suggest you fire off an email and ask them for some clarification as you have posted on several threads and your opinion is contrary to what others have experienced from these inspectors and it could end up costing some people in fines if you are incorrect. I'll just continue to use the tacho to be safe. plenty posts 12 18 months ago on people being pulled by VOSA you can look up.

    I have asked them if it's gone out to everyone or just me, so far the answer is someone will be in touch. police reckoned whoever burned the forwarder was rival merchant if this is just targeted to us maybe we will have a name.

    I'm ignoring it and wait to see if anyone gets charged.

    was it not published recently Scotland or the UK not sure which had a bumper 2014 with 7.5kk tons harvested. and if you speak to people harvesting and they seem to think maybe 10-15 years left at the current rate and planting isn't keeping up with the harvesting. 200tons+ a day in clearfell isn't sustainable.

    If I'm cutting for 10" nets then anything short gets thrown in a bag for this kind of request.
  13. Logsnstuff
    Was the same at aldi last year and they were selling a pallet load a day or more and on the label was something like softwood logs recommended for burning on open fires and stoves.
  14. Logsnstuff
    nobody said there was a problem it's simply a discussion.
  15. Logsnstuff
    easiest answer is just give the dimension of the bag which is what we already do in most cases.
  16. Logsnstuff
    it's also what scales do you use if you want to go down the weight route, how often do they come and inspect them to see they are accurate the few people I have spoken too that used to do coal said pain in the backside.
  17. Logsnstuff
    and how would you get that accurate when you do a bag of mixed species with diff calorific values.
  18. Logsnstuff
    send a copy to your council.
  19. Logsnstuff
    some common ground maybe but if your not allowed to talk volume or weight what solution do you have to market bags, We stock 0.25, 0.73, 1.0 & 2.0 bulk bags and what they are saying is we will have to refer to them all as just a bulk bag and your not allowed to say what it's capacity is or what it might weigh who will buy like that I certainly wouldn't can just see the conversation on the phone. How much is in a bag? "not allowed to tell you" Well what does it weigh? " not allowed to tell you that either" I have emailed them back asking for clarification on what exactly a load is, will wait and see if I get a reply.

    Anyone else had one of these in the post?
  21. Logsnstuff
    I have better things to do than try to look that up that's why I said whenever they started, but seem to remember one of the videos on youtube saying something about 20 or 25years ago, point I was making was that it's been around a fair bit longer than 15 years.
  22. Logsnstuff
    there's an article off the Multitek website about someone who started kiln drying logs in the 70's in the states yet certainly wood claim to have invented it whenever they started and it wasn't uncommon for people to dry logs in the rayburn oven certainly round here.
  23. Logsnstuff
    Letting it rot is time release so the tree or trees planted are keeping pace in the absorption to the release where as burning is instant. your still not answering the question this isn't a justify kiln drying thread it's a how to promote air dried.
  24. Logsnstuff
    so your perpetrating the confusion for the public as my air dried measures from 10% upwards your simply doing 2 levels of kiln dried. The thread kind of went off on the usual tangent as to what's profitable for the producer and why they should take rhi payments, what I was trying to get at is how to educate the public that a properly air dried log is not the inferior product that some merchants are trying to imply, a few months back someone talked about putting together a flyer to show why air dried is superior due to the reduced environmental costs and should at the end have the same Mc more or less.
  25. Logsnstuff
    there was some talk a while back about writing up a response for us air drying merchants as to why air dried is better or certainly no worse than kiln dried just curious if anyone ever did it. was googling the other day came across another 3 kiln dried sellers all saying air dried will be significantly higher Mc one in fife saying kiln dried at 20% air at 30% and 2 in England with 18% 22% kiln and 40% for the air dried. came across this on an Australian site. A one kilogram log of wood offsets carbon dioxide emissions by 1.65 kilograms. 1kg (wood) x 0.45 (carbon content) x 3.67 (CO2 / C) = 1.65kg CO2 reduction. This result gives an idea of how important trees are to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere would think that's a good reason for some not to buy kiln dried.
