I use silver birch bark and strips of amazon cardboard. 

As for egg boxes, why not ask your neighbours/local fb group/fb Market Place. Ask people to keep a load for you and then nip round and collect them. 

My mate has loads of chickens and sells eggs and I keep all my boxes over winter for him to use as the chickens don't lay 

If they're getting bad reviews they'll not want to change theirs as some of the bad reviews will go to you. 

Quickest and most pain free option would be to change yours I reckon

Ah jeez, dunno how I missed the Norwich bit! 

I'll wind my beak in haha 

Adding your location to your post might give you some more precise answers 🙂

Do you mean your cutting the log or splitting it with an axe? 

If you're cutting then look at the canter lever style saw horses 

If you're splitting with an axe then a tyre round your log can be great

"UK free firewood and chip southern England" 

I'm up in Durham or I would have taken the offer 

Yep! It's not great, but it's not Poplar either 

The norm is 2 cuts, this gives the slowest burn. I've done them with 3 and even 4 cuts before 

Douglas Fir is a great wood for them 

Split wood is always gonna dry quicker and better. 

No experience of a drier floor though
