    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.

    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.

    just done a deal for one £500 and 8 bags of logs and he threw in an airmax fan. stove fitter also happy to be paid in logs so much easier than the plumber wanting £3.5k to fit the backboiler stove.

    £94 for 0.73m3 and £120 for 1m3 free delivery on full load also air dried or I can palletise.

    I used around 12m3 last winter

    I can only think of 1 company round here doesn't let potential customers visit the rest allow collection and make sales on nets from people passing.

    import a couple of baltic workers and drop your prices.

    see who will let you into their yard to have a look before you buy and take a moisture meter if they say no then move to next on the list, I wouldn't recommend focusing just on price/volume unless your buying couple of years in advance.

    I only burn seasoned wood in it, the local stove shop said could be a build up of ash on top retaining excessive heat, the bricks were crumbling away when replacing the plate the ones in it just now are cracked in about 8 pieces but haven't fallen out yet. was thinking to replace it with something around 8kw and can take 14 15" log

    last couple of years have left bags out through the winter uncovered, you get some mushrooms on the logs which soon disappear the following summer, then they go into polytunnel for the 2nd winter. we switched to bakers knitted bags last season and we have found some of them splitting after just 8-12 months where previous bags were good for 3+ yrs we actually got rid of some barrow bags in the summer which they supplied 8-9 yrs ago and they were still sound.

    top of my squirel has cracked has needed 2 baffle plates in 5 years and 3 sets of bricks but it gets run pretty hard especially when we get these freak winters with the -25

    we get quite a few each season phoning to check prices pretending to be potential customers when they clearly aren't, they could just look on the website or say who they are couldn't care less if someone wants to know what we charge but I'd rather they just said who they were never understood the desire for secrecy and deceit over something we spend a fortune advertising for all to see.

    I would only produce them from oversize timber it's very slow as has been mentioned already, it does give you the flexibility to cut to whatever length the customer wants and if using bags then your also reducing the uv exposure.
  14. Logsnstuff
    depending on how many you want bakers will make the size you want.
  15. Logsnstuff
    some of our customers have commented hinged roofs would be useful so we could just drop the bag inside.
  16. Logsnstuff
    can't refill mine until harvest is in be about another 3 weeks.
  17. Logsnstuff
    yes it's factory fitted something like a 1T pull on it I think.

    You use what you have available something breaks you fix it but it will take more than that to break a posch machine we ain't talking Palax here.

    been removing some trees which have been hanging over the field and catching the combine seem to remember talk about splitter winches having no power so thought I would put this up although we maybe should have winched it further 22" across the butt.

    seems Willie Laing hires his 890 out with a wood cracker. https://www.facebook.com/christopher.douglas.923171/videos/o.197123796967907/1611545885792479/?type=2&theater

    What's left on the ground is the waste we didn't bag up from a pile of stuff that would normally have gone into the bonfire, we got about 9 x 0.73 bags and either my neighbour will scavenge what's left or the farmer will scrape it with his telehandler. the stuff in the barrow bag is the very small bits we sell cheap.
  22. Logsnstuff
    they get cut up also and sold off cheap for the likes of inset stoves that cant take over 5" 6"

    don't understand them resisting circular blades for the larger machines. [ame] [/ame]

    just the posch sawbench at the moment, really miss having a conveyor though. anything that splinters and doesn't make meter lengths gets done straight away.
  25. Logsnstuff
    saw bench but am thinking about a posch easycut as it runs automatic just throw the wood in.
