Bloody 'ell! 5l engine in that? Impressive

What the most unusual thing you have found in a tree

My mate found a brick in the first log he started to cross cut with his brand new chain -
I sometimes extinguish a BBQ and then save the charcoal for future BBQs. Easy to sieve off once dry or winnow it in a stiff breeze

These were chonked in February

Been burning some of these recently. You can pack a lot into a stove and they give out immense heat. Makes a superb bed for bigger logs if you have them. Tipping the net out onto the hearth is easier than trying to pull the bits out individually. I then just sweep the debris onto the fire shovel and chuck it in. Have tried ones stored in nets and in hessian coffee sacks. They have all dried

An ideal solution would be a 4 way splitter that can push those lengths through which can then be fed through the branch logger. Surprised such a thing doesn't exist but it seems people want firewood with nice flat ends?
-
The pile is currently at least 3 times that size now. I think I will cut some of it by hand and use the hydraulic splitter on the tractor when I get bored with the maul.
-
Actually, that pile is to cut to 70cm lengths for torch handles. The branch logger pile was way bigger.
-
I'll look that up, thanks. It was just an idea as despite being pretty easy to split stuff, there's quite a lot of it (at least double that pile)

I have a load of quite straight trunks from my woodland thinning. All about 4 feet long by 6-10" diameter. Whilst I could just saw and split it myself over a few days, just wondering what the feasibility of hiring in someone with a processor would be? Shouldn't take too long

Lovely firewood. With enough airflow it should be good for the coming winter

Unlike most of us who have a face for it

Heavy Duty Woodland flail mower?

I have a Scrubmaster too - never worry about sharpening chains! -
I find it dries pretty quick - I think the tubes that make up the structure are larger diameter than some other woods and so let the water out quicker. Anyway, I have so much of it, it's one of my favourite woods to burn as it is pretty renewable

Friend of mine giving me 3 of these crates. Took about 10 minutes to fill - would have been quicker with one person levelling the bits out as they back up in the chute otherwise. Windy today so the ones on the outside should get a bit drier
