Hi Scotty2809, the opening is 25mm so please let me know if you have spares to fit? Thanks
-
Well if you can't, they can go on the shelf alongside my chocolate teapot!
-
Very kind of you. Will send size tomorrow

Hi. Does anyone know where I can get spare winch hook gates?

Larva in split logs?
Vigen Tigen replied to Vigen Tigen's topic in Log burning stoves and fireplaces
Methinks they would be better than maggots for catching fish! -
Hi, could somebody advise me on the following please? Found these larva in logs I've split and would like to know if it's okay to add infested logs to wood pile?
-
Does anybody know if there is any information out there regarding how much girth tree limbs could put on each year?
-
Similar problem so ended up buying the stihl tape measure which I find is brilliant. Though the pointy bit that sticks in wood can be a bit dangerous on the retrieve!
-
Sound advice so many thanks. Interested in your comment about putting the boards in the right section on eBay. Any pointers would be appreciated
-

Brilliant!!!! Huge thanks for this
-
Would the mulch/black plastic help with any rod (assume that's what the whips are also know as?) planted in a hostile environment (bind weed, nettles et cetera)? do you know what the illegal ones are called?🤫

What is an arctic timber wagon? I guess by processor do you mean something the chip/process the Timber? The reality is I will be burning 50cm logs in the boiler
-
Thanks and will look into Popular and Eucalyptus... do you have any pointers I could start with? Also, please could you explain what you mean my using 10" dia lumps as sound interesting?
-
Jeez...Thanks for this, there's some great info and guess I should have done a search before attempting to reinvent the wheel!😏 Still, be good to find a definitive resource on planning and managing a small bit of land (around 2 acres) to maximise growing trees for fuel. Know it's early days from reading your post, but what did you do in the end?

You have instantly put my mind at rest … Thanks

Thank you for your feedback. About to install a log gasification biomass heating system and the burner takes logs up to half a metre long, so will need to up my game when it comes to chopping/storing/seasoning timber as previously chopped wood for log burners. Started storing the large logs in the holzhausen style to facilitate drying before then moving into a woodshed. As the willow grows on river banks at my property, it's very wet 😏 and have been stripping the bark off split logs but are now questioning if this is worthwhile doing, as splitting the logs should be enough to facilitate seasoning to less than 20% water content in 2 years? (I'd rather forego the extra work of bark stipping unless it’s really necessary)

Yep, learn't and keep on learning that the hard way😆😏

So there is no need to strip bark of a split log as splitting is enough to facilitate seasoning?
-
Felling willow for storing prior to chopping for logs. My question is how much bark do I need to strip off to facilitate the seasoning process? (the Willow is extremely wet as they are growing by a riverbank)
