They are very wet..I say about 50 percent moisture..I was hoping to start kindling them by the end of the month . would that ne possible? There not long either there only about 18 inches long.so would that speed up drying?

I will be using them for kindling. I get them from pallet makers.the sell seconds

Hi, there basically 4x1 inch planks or 4x 3/4 inch planks

hi guys,just wondering if anyone knows how long to dry pallet boards stacked and spaced in a open shed.thanks:001_smile:

i wasnt aware of that..thanks for the heads up.il just give the boards a miss:001_smile:

prob the best way.but its quiet hard when i dont have the machine yet:001_tongue:.im picking the machine up in 2 weeks time and i just came across a guy who is selling second hand planks

just wondering how many bags of kindling (40cm x 50cm bag) in a 8ft scaffolding plank.2 inches thick and 9 inches wide. many thanks anthony

i was also thinking the same around 3 bags.

how many bags of kindling could you get from a pallet?

yes suppose your right.. is there any easy way to break pallets up?.i still would not use pallets as my main source of materials.it would just be a bit of a bonus if you can make bags of kindling for free (exluding labour)

are tilting log saws any good for cutting up lenghts of timber? did anyone ever put pallet boards through a kindlet? how many pallet boards would it take to make up a 40x50 cm bag of kindling?

hi guys thanks for all the input..i bought the machine and collecting it off a mate.i paid £2800 for 2009 model.joinery off cuts would be ideal as they are alot easier to handle. @genesetsteve. they are cracking bags of kindling you have there.does spurce or pine give as clean of a bag of kindling as the off cuts do?

is there a lot of waste as in knots through the timber

hi all,just looking for advice on what would be the best materials to run through a kindlet.i wont be doing logs so i would have to keep waste to a minimun and also what saw would you recommend to prepare the materials to the correct size.. thanks anthony
