    The OP is only cutting small trees and branches, his idea is to reach further into his saw horse not cut full bar length.
  2. cornish wood burner
    Stihl say 30, 35, 40, or in imperial 12 ,14 or 16 If you are not cutting full bar length, if it suits your setup and youre not in hurry then personally I would give it a go.
  3. cornish wood burner
    OK thanks. Perhaps we should have a chat next week. Even if we don't buy it I expect Mark ( euroforest) will.

    Whole new ball game then. When's the wood available?
  5. cornish wood burner
    Hi Stihl Just had an email forwarded to me asking if I woulld be interested in 279 pines. Same job I guess Jon and Matt?. I know pictures can be deceptive but those trees didn't look anything like 1.5 m diameter. More like 1.5 metre circumference. Have you seen them?

    The Essex suggestion uses the same principle as mine on page 3 of this thread. Some paper on top to provide a quick burst of heat. It works try it.
  7. cornish wood burner
    Cardboard burns too slow. What you need is a rush of heat from quick burning newspaper. You may still have a problem but try paper. My Rayburn doesn't draw well if it has not been used for a while but a good amount of paper gets the gasses going. Damper and bottom door wide open for a couple of minuites then its fine.

    Did you guys not know firelighters are the devils invention. Quick flame from newspaper works for me. Some on top of the kindling to flush the cold air out of the chimney if you have a problem. If extreme as above. Good flames cure most draught problems.

    We use a fairly good approximation to G100 chip in our boilers. Best is from a muzmax with a 80 mm screen but as you know G100 does contain fines. If your brief is no fines then you will need to put your output through a screen. (Sieve)

    Piece of cake then. Have you mastered down hand. Nice smooth even welds with no flux inclusions? Watch the weld pool and keep it as even as possible for a smooth weld. What size electrode are you using and what current setting are you using for downhand and vertical. Try welding a corner joint at 45 deg from vertical and once you have a decent run increase the angle slowly. Do NOT weave on your first run.

    MOD dockyard instructors method was single root run first then weave as above. They used to weld nuclear subs so he showed me the strongest way presumably. Never got to that standard though. Inclined overhead is reckoned to be the hardest. BTW

    Thanks Steve Im definitely an insulation fan but I have two to do, one rectangular and one round. It sounds like the second might be fun.
  13. cornish wood burner
    For thick metal go up with lower amps as per CJ, point the rod upwards slightly and a slightly shorter arc length.
  14. cornish wood burner
    Do you normally use vermiculite on an internal chimney? Apart from the insulation advantages presumably it will keep the liner steady when its swept.

    As far as I understand if you have a boiler stove or are in the habit of slumbering your wood burner it is far better to use 904. It is more corrosion resistant than 316 so will have a much longer life especially under unfavourable conditions. When you consider the difference in cost between 316 and 904 as a percentage of the total then the longer life easily covers the difference.

    We put a few detectors around a couple of years ago and found our house was in the slight improvement advised bracket. I drilled 110mm holes through the oversite concrete dug some sumps, linked them together then fed the pipe into a disused chimney. Extra underfloor ventilation would probably have been OK at our level, but as we were fitting a new floor in one room it made the job easy.
  17. cornish wood burner
    You need into be a bit careful doing that. I would do as Coximus says and sprinkle around the edges. If you smother the flames, wood gas will still be driven off by the heat and could fill your stove with an explosive mixture. When a flame appears at the top of the fire, the gasses ignite/ explode. Large wood chip boilers have variable feed, variable powered draught, several temperature and exhaust gas values fed into a PLC but under the right conditions the gasses can still explode.

    I'm not suggesting you do not use your meter just check its calibration. Most meters I've come across are not accurate. We have burnt a lot of larch at 25% and it burns well.
  19. cornish wood burner
    Do you know for a fact that its 16-18% or is that just what your meter is telling you?
  20. cornish wood burner
    Hi Stereo, sounds like its going OK. Well done. I don't know your house or even if you would consider it, but how about B&B for a while. If you have a really nice room contact Wolsley Lodges. They specialize in high class B&B and will come and vet you I believe. Typical tarrif £100 depending where you are. Lots of people would like to stay on a small farm I expect.

    We use PVC pipe that is rated at 10 bar. Huge range of fittings and available in 25,32,50,63,75mm and larger.
  22. cornish wood burner
    Email husqvarna and ask why. I'm sure lots of us are interested in their reasoning. Maybe haironyourchest is right but it would be good to hear that from them.
  23. cornish wood burner
    As an alternative for you. Stack it untill it reaches 35%MC. Chip into walking floor lorries and sell to us in 500 tonne lots.
  24. cornish wood burner
    Be very careful, no chipper I know will cope with 1.5 metre without splitting so the price drops because of that. Sawmills that can run that down/want it, are limited in Cornwall so it might be a train journey for it. Price will reflect that.
  25. cornish wood burner
    Don't know about Fords but we could certainly tell the difference on our Sprinter. Losing the DMF meant we had to change down sooner to avoid it juddering. Been reliable since though.
