It depends what fuel it is, most briquette fuels are NOT actually smokeless and contain a large amount of sulfur. This will destroy a stainless steel flue liner in no time flat. Burn them with logs and you will do a liner in a single season. So do you know what it is or not?

Coal? which one of the many coals out there is it?

A consultation on the burning of coal and firewood is under way. Under attack are bituminous house coals and wet firewood, cue the banning of bituminous coal and the regulation of firewood suppliers.

A cubic metre of firewood has the same at calorific value whether it be 40% or 0% moisture content. The important factor is the efficiency at which it burns. The lower the moisture content the more efficient it burns - simple.

So wrong Humidity is measured by calculating how much moisture the surrounding atmosphere is able to hold at its current temerature and is shown as a percentage of this measurement. Florida is famously humid, 100% humidity is not uncommon, so you saying you cant store seasoned firewood there as it will keep absorbing moisture? Moisture content of firewood and humidity of the atmosphere are different things. High humidity will slow the seasoning process but is unlikely to alter moisture content of seasoned firewood by more than a couple of percent.

Oh dear dan. It looks like you have been importing kiln dried wood that has never been in a kiln. I dread to think what its like in the middle of the crate. Kilned birch dont go mouldy mon.

Sounds to me as though they are charging the correct money for a premium product. Why don't you increase your prices to a similar level, assuming your firewood is as good as theirs.

And why does this surprise you?

Has anyone managed to resolve their problems with this guy?

Are there not biosecurity issues with timber that has not been treated by heat/chemicals?

Dont ask me for proof, ask the Solid Fuel Association who insist i must have insurance because of the 100's of claims from domestic users each year. With this blame/claim culture anyone selling fuel should make sure they are covered for any eventuality from the use of their fuel.

It aint the rug, its the claim for the death of a family from a house fire and i doubt your felling insurance would cover that.
