    I have cord coming in from an estate they have felled about 4k tons of softwood and all the pulp and pallet is going through a chipper to fuel their biomass plant, the hardwood was destined for the chipper also until we expressed an interest. Regulation I believe will come in to standardise a measurement for delivery and a mc to be classed as seasoned to begin with, I don't have a problem if it stops there I think that would be beneficial for everyone.

    selling out this winter in this area anyway isn't much of a guide I've been in 4 other merchants yards everyone is sitting with a lot of logs.

    well whether flexing muscles or not we had a letter from their legal dept in Edinburgh that it would be put forward for prosecution until I provided enough evidence that they had published themselves from the fc research that barking was a practice used in firewood production along with half a dozen other examples.
  4. Logsnstuff
    yep if there's enough trees they will class it a small woodland and you need a felling license. because of the location of what I was doing everything was tpo'd to a watercourse and I was felling on the boundary outside this area so we ringed everything in a morning so if anyone complained they couldn't do anything trees would still have to come down just bad luck the tree warden happened to overlook this garden.

    I had the commission try and prosecute me back in 2010 for ring barking trees in a garden apparently 20 trees makes a wood whether they are in a garden or not, luckily they had similar stuff published and after about 6 weeks they dropped it but the council put tpo's on all the remaining trees they ignored the fact some of the trees were liable to blow and 3 months later an oak smashed 2x 50ft greenhouses.

    as I posted in another topic I use 90x90 bags .73m3 and filled with fresh beech they come in at 498kg only bothered to weigh 2 of them.

    ye and I was told about people doing firewood in highlands paying no tax and buying top of the range processors seems they are known to several harvesting contractors, only way to sell at that price is illegally or at a loss.

    I have a back boiler stove sitting in storage plumber wanted £2.8k to fit it so ill stick with the little morso for now
  9. Logsnstuff
    some of what I have for next season.
  10. Logsnstuff
    I don't try to avoid mould, the mushrooms soon shrivel up once summer is here and just keep the rain off the logs going into year 2
  11. Logsnstuff
    just whats needed is yet another merchant round this area
  12. Logsnstuff
    these days the lorries halve weigh systems fitted and they only seem to measure half tons if you look at the weigh tickets only ever read 25 25.5 or 26 ton so 16kg 50kg 200kg doesnt matter and logs are sold on volume not weight and in the uk or certainly round here you can still buy in imperial go tescos price tickets have both weights uk had an exemption about selling imperial as long as metric price is also included.
  13. Logsnstuff
    A Ton is an imperial measurement of 2240 lbs (1016kg) A Tonne is a metric measurement of 1000 kgs I didn't write Tonne so I'm pretty sure thats the missing 16kg you didnt understand. some of us still measure in inches instead of cm too.
  14. Logsnstuff
    fine its irrelevant in the context of this discussion if you want to be pedantic
  15. Logsnstuff
    energy is irrelevant its about costs to produce and the price to buy in cord is getting closer and closer to hardwood prices selling softwood 30% 50% cheaper is not sustainable.
  16. Logsnstuff
    sounds like a good days work, even the coal merchants are complaining up here now the orders are so scarce
  17. Logsnstuff
    I haven't ordered softwood in 2 years but last I was told it was costing £30 £35 a ton hardwood is only £40 how do you manage £25 a bag difference
  18. Logsnstuff
    24 barrow bags out yesterday, only 1 delivery but was worth over £900. https://fbcdn-sphotos-c-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/t31/1795235_662910020433715_529365202_o.jpg
  19. Logsnstuff
    I put the bag at the back of their car and they handball in
  20. Logsnstuff
    depends if your logs are better quality
  21. Logsnstuff
    I don't charge delivery you just wont get any logs if you don't order enough for me to bother.
  22. Logsnstuff
    I wholesale £3.50 retail £4.90
  23. Logsnstuff
    I get 53 bags 0.75m from an artic load fresh felled beech water running out of the wood when the forwarder picks it up. weight per bag in the post above. so almost £1,200 delivered in and retails out £4,982 £6,042 if its barrow bags.
  24. Logsnstuff
    I weighed fresh felled beech 2 weeks ago 498kg a bag 0.75m3 and a ton is only 1016kg so 2 cube is too much
  25. Logsnstuff
    thats what I was thinking, unless its undeclared cash I can't see the point in working for free.
