Thanks for that. Yes I think you're right. Its sold now anyway.
-
Thats great, thanks. Good thread as well. I had assumed around 500kg for the IBC. £95 for a cube back in 2014. What are you charging now? Seems like prices have not risen much in that time all considered.
-
That would be for a solid lump of timber though. There is loads of air when lose filled. I think I fill two IBC's with a Ton of firewood, so that weight would obviously be half of that. I think I fill 3 cube bags with a Ton, so might just be on the 350kg limit. Hopefully someone has actually weighed the bags, I doubt anyone has weighed an IBC full of green logs.

The advert said he uses it for shift containers full of logs, I just need to find out what size of containers. He says it can lift about 350kg, I was hoping this was 350kg of something like an IBC or a Tattie Box full of logs.
-
Good point. But I kinda need to know the weights before I go ahead and buy this machine. Currently I do not have any way of lifting the bags and IBC's to weigh them.
-
Anyone have an educated guess or better yet actually weighed a 1m3 Vented bag of Green Hard Wood Logs or a full IBC? Thats lose filled with logs that are 9-10" in length and then others with 16" Logs. Im looking at a mini rough terrain Forklift but its capacity is only 350kg and I get the feeling with Oak or Beech it might be over this.

Not a clue, but we had two replaced in the 5 years we rented. Plus numerous other call-outs. The guy was a Guild Master Installer for Rayburn and is/was in high demand all over Scotland. He recommended ripping out first chance we got.

Oil Fired? We ripped out the Oil Fired Rayburn in our house because when we where renting the Landlord must have spent a small fortune on replacement parts including PCB's. Guzzled the oil as well compared to the new Grant 35kw outside Oil Boiler we replaced it with. We just turn it on now to keep it ticking over.

I love my Esse, easily the best £7000 Ive ever spent. To have constant near on free heat to the room, heat to cook with and Hot water even during power cuts is brilliant.
-
Really? Thats sad. My one is 11kw output. I think about 3kw to Water and 7.5-8kw to the Room/oven. I see the website states 7.3kw to the Room where as the older non-boiler version was 10.5kw to the Room. So where has the other 2-3kw gone? Still, how hard would it be to retro-fit a Boiler?

The Esse Ironheart seems to be Wood Fired only now, but still available and built to current regs. The Ironheart multifuel cooker warms the room too. WWW.ESSE.COM Our Ironheart multifuel cooker isn't just great for roast dinners, baking bread, and cooking pizza to perfection - it also keeps the whole room warm!

Because if they do their masters bidding whilst in office they are set for life?

Id agree with you there.

Why do you still find it ironic? -

I’ll assume you can only store logs under the stove because they have been designed that way. The heat leak will be measurable and shown to be to a temp where logs will not combust. The sides of most Stoves get very hot which is clearly by design, you want to heat your room up. If engineered correctly I don’t really see the mystery here. -

I've bought a few stunning Ash Sawlogs for under £100 a ton lately. Whilst this might have always been the price I'd not have had them if there was no ADB.- 22 replies

I can see less and less lads being willing to give up their logs for nothing or even token offerings as times get harder and harder. Every penny will count for a lot of people soon. I see more and more posts on FB Market place from Tree Surgeons selling Arb Waste at the side of the road or off the back of the truck on a first come first served basis and see to sell the relatively quickly as well. Whilst at the same time huge numbers of folk signing up for tip-site. Seems to be a big disconnect between want and reality.

Fair enough. I dont have asthma. My mill expels the sawdust at the other side to me. Occasionally the wind will lift the dust/chips and blow them in my eye but that very occasionally and its not happened since I fitted a downward pipe. I agree, its all about managing risk. For example my brother lived in central London and developed asthma and nose polyps from the pollution. He'd have been better off wearing a mask than I'll ever be Milling outdoors.

Ive a 1-1.2m diameter standing dead Beech Butt to mill at some point. Nicely spalted from what I can see and bone dry. (if it will mill of course)
-
I do get what you’re saying but a big sawmill sounds like an enclosed set-up and not outside in the fresh air. Each to their own but it’s not for me.
-
what leads you to that conclusion other than the pictures we're seeing? As the pictures we're seeing certainly do not show any spalting. They look kinda like these logs I clogged up and they are certainly not Spalted.

I think there will be a lot of good deals for the upcoming season due to all the windblown previously mentioned. Once thats been sold and folk have to start buying their supplies from timber merchants again I can see the good times ending sharpish, unless there is another severe storm again. Ive done well out of the Storm. Had 15 trees come down in the Garden that would have been tricky not to drop on the holiday cottages next door, the wind dropped them on the holiday cottage next door and took the responsibility off me. 30t of mostly Beech delivered for the fuel cost, so about £200. Cant complain. -

Not to close to the fire I hope? -
And Beech like in the pic will be quite nice when milled as well. A lot more interesting than regular Beech. I made my 4 meter long Workbench out of Beech and that had similar colouring. Worth saving if you're interesting in milling but with so much of it down just now and little public interest I dont waste time on it when I could be milling Oak or Elm.

But the Op does produce firewood….. My moneys on he rings it for firewood.
