    my customers prefer builders bags over tipper loads less mess I was using builders bags with holes burned in them last couple of years but have experimented with the mesh bags and same size same stock of logs the mesh are coming in 50 kg lighter so the old bags will have to go. net sacks are too time consuming for me not geared up with staff and equipment to go down that route and too cut throat at least for the moment.

    when its for an oven species will matter smoke will effect the flavour of the food unless I have the wrong idea of oven being used.

    Totally agree sad thing is even when they need to mix with coal for the logs to burn they still think they did well. got my winblow finished just before dark farmer should dump 15 ton or so of beech in the yard tomorrow.

    the bags I weighed were cut yesterday and the timber was felled this summer so the only way to get heavier is change the species.

    I just chop and deliver the stuff I try to keep as big a distance from me and customers as possible it's better for my bloodpressure. as someone said to me the other day business would be great if it wasn't for the customers.

    I mean my customers are either hardwood or softwood they don't take both and if I did mixed bags they would move to another supplier. I had someone complain the logs I had delivered wouldn't burn and they wanted an exchange bag when I checked them they were 15% mc but oak so they refused to take anymore oak and now buy elsewhere. had another one yesterday complain the logs are too wet when I checked them was 17% mc sycamore birch beech mix then they refused to pay travelling costs and time 2hrs 80 mile round trip they also will be buying elsewhere in future.

    I sell both and tar is only an issue really if you don't season it, I've had several customers change from hardwood to softwood, the main issue is for sure the stove sellers telling people only seasoned hardwood. I prefer douglas & larch for my stove, wasn't too fond of pine and spruce is good on a chilly summer night not sure I'd want it for -20

    used to deliver to a guy who kept his logs in a wheelbarrow filled with water for a day or 2 so they lasted longer when he put them on the fire.
