  1. Looking for a pallet of kindling (approx 100 nets) either delivered to Retford (DN22) or local enough for us to collect.

     

    Please let me know size of net

    Price

    How long for delivery/collection

     

    Please note looking for proper kindling not sawn timber off-cuts. Thank you :)

  2. burn crap and hey you get crap results.

     

    bellows of smoke every 3 to 4 hours ,which is what you get with pallets, most annoying.

     

    What are you burning?

     

    We have tried burning Pallets and Sycamore at 20% MC but both seem to cause smoke.

     

    Pallets yesterday were fine, today big bellows of smoke. Same batch of pallets different results.

  3. May be worth looking into a storage tank then. We don't think it smokes a lot but the neighbours don't seem to agree unfortunately. Environmental health have been out to look a couple of times and think its fine but will probably be back again.

     

    The planners are now looking into it and have deemed it as processing outside of the operating ours that are permitted (9-5) so a storage tank may be the way forwards.

  4. Is it regarding smoke or the location of the building. Not much you can do about location other than blend it in if it's already built.

     

    Most smoke is worst (darkest) when it turns on so you could either get a larger buffer tank so it stays off longer or a very small one so that it's constantly on at a low use.

     

    Also worth considering a higher flue and making sure everything that goes in is dry to reduce smoke.

     

    That's just a few ideas but it depends on the problems you're having and the type of boiler / it's use.

     

    Its regarding the smoke,

     

    It currently doesn't have a buffer tank but rather than fill it then let it burn empty we're constantly topping it up every 2 - 3 hours just a small amount at a time.

     

    We have doubled flue height from 4 to 8 m to try and get the smoke higher but still seems to be causing problems. Currently burning pallets and logs both sub 20% MC.

  5. Having recently installed a medium biomass boiler has anyone had any problem with environmental health and the planning department, due to complaints from the local residents.

     

    Has anyone spoken to the boiler manufacturer to help sort the problems out?

    Or what have you done to appease the locals?
