, well, I was planning to cut it the right length.... but that has better comic effect

Thanks, I will try and find some hardwood to go with it

OK, sounds like you recommend it then? Cheers!

Hiya, I could come and take as much as possible in the back of my Peugoet 306 (I'll put the seats down and should be able to take a fair few 1m lengths). I'm available tomorrow, early or Sunday? Please drop me a PM if interested. I am based in Reigate. PS - I am a new stove owner, hence the interest.

Hi, I'm new so please forgive me any mistakes. I am resurrecting this old thread to ask about European Redwood (apparently AKA Scots Pine). I am soon having a wood burning stove fitted, and a friend is able to supply a very large supply of timber off cuts, as she works in an education centre where they use this wood. My impression from here is that it burns well, if quickly. I have split it in to kindling and it is all very dry, as you'd expect. But I am concerned that it will cause problems with my lined chimney. I am not keen to screw up my newly lined chimney by burning wood that will tar up my chimney. Can anyone advise on this? Thanks! James
