Maybe if or when farmers lose their grants and subsidies they will be keener to manage the woods for firewood.But then they will probably clearfell it all for greed.

Do i detect a chip on the shoulder

have a look now theres now two scamers trying to sell the same processor,

i managed to stop the screen change ,to get onto other items for sale there were about 4 tractors and a mini digger

Just seen this , very new type of scam , do not put in your details!!!

have a look on "other items for sale" theres quite a list

Fuelwood Kindlet Pro Kindling machine Processor 2012 Forestry Log s Firewood | eBay

this was sold for £5200 it got 2 bids , its still on my watch list

have you reported it to ebay?

Hi, I'm new to this. I am thinking of selling up to 2500t hardwood timber in the south east. Whats the rough going rate at the moment for standing firewood?

i"ll give you couple of quid a ton , theres not much call for it you know .

You buy petrol/diesel/paraffin by litre

You buy electricity by kw/hour

 

You buy logs by ?

 

Needs nationally agreed standard .......

i'd say you need agreed mousture content and volume

 

I think trick is to worth WITH a trading standards office and get this bottomed 100%

THEN roll it out across the country

So you can buy logs with confidence and if there is a problem there is standard to work to .....and where your logs can be checked

 

 

Eliminates back street log sellers .........

THIS WOULD BE A TOTAL DISASTER,

Before you know it there would be "firewood assurance schemes" set up by every pen pusher that has a spare clipboard and charging you £120 for the privalige, just like they have done in the farming sector,

it works perfectly as it is , ie if you sell wet rubbish you wont get a second order, word spreads and that is that your gone .

as for the brickets , if people want them thats great ,give them what they want they"ll come back.

does anybody know who builds a shipping container type wood kiln,

theres a lot on the internet but they all seem to be in usa.

I thought Wood Nuggets was quite fitting.

how about "wood nuts" LOL

heres a better link

Port of Workington - Commodities

workington port in west cumbria , handles a lot of timber as the port is near to the iggesund paper mill and biomass boiler

Ports.org.uk / Workington

And your hypothesis is based upon.......?

 

Seriously though, the AE like most government depts. has been cut to the bone. With limited funds to cover every environmental "project and event" in England/Wales & NI. What do you cut to devote all your time and money to prepare for record amounts of wet weather in one county?

 

Whilst "global warming" is a hypothesis that is still deeply debated, climate change is a phenomenon that is increasingly perceptable to all. You only need to look back over the last 5-10 years to find us having the warmest, the coldest,. Britain has always had weather rather than a climate, now year on year we are seeing more extremes! These are hard to forsee and even harder to plan for, when we don't know when or where they will happen or what the likely consequences are until they do!

 

Anyone with a crystal ball and without an axe to grind, please step forward and be this country's saviour. And I shall kneel before you Sir George, (David, Patrick, Andrew).

as you have said in your thread " the wettest weather on record" , it doesnt take a lot of common sense to keep the water ways clear,

anybody any feed back on kiln use, ?

it seems the terms and conditions have changed quite a lot since i last looked

me too !

i have been on the phone this morning to my own timber supplier and to a relation of mine works in renewable energy market and as far as we can work out it may only apply to the upcoming domestic RHI scheme,

but here is the link and your thoughts will be welcome

Domestic renewable heat incentive: your questions answered | YouGen Blog | YouGen, Renewable Energy Made Easy

ive read this post with real interest and do believe there is a opportunity to make high quality firewood, but the following paragraphs, would make me proceed with caution,

as who are the "registered suppliers" of timber to fuel the kiln?, as if your timber supplier is not registered then you wont get any RHI payment ,

and if you do manage to find out who is a "registered supplier" i will almost bet that they will add at least £20 @ton , because they know you will be claiming the RHI and you have to have it,

What are the fuel sustainability requirements?

Fuels must be sourced from a supplier registered on an approved list (this will mandatory from autumn 2014, recommended prior to that). You will have to make an annual declaration that you are doing so, and keep receipts as evidence.

I’ve got my own wood supply, can I use that?

Yes you can, as long as you do not also supply to other biomass installations. “Woody biomass feedstocks” (this includes perennial energy crops such as miscanthus as well as wood) grown on the same “estate” as an eligible biomass system will be automatically treated as meeting the sustainability criteria. DECC is also looking at a ‘proportionate approach’ for local suppliers of wood fuel.

saw this in the F W , didnt think would affect me , until this afternoon when i was cutting billets for a customer who is rhi regestered
