  1. Blowing like a steam train without the spark arrestor
  2. The wood in the pic is mainly Ash with a small amount of Oak and Beech, just take small amounts at a time that I can fit in the motor from jobs I do The plot I'm in is mainly spruce, but very heavy in Birch aswell
  3. The spark arrester is gunked up, they are handy when there are nylon tarps in close proximity, but the main reason I was asking about burning the spruce was for if I do get a burner installed at home Anyway I'm looking forward to this lot being ready to burn Cheers
  4. It is just a cheap stove, but I wanted to try one because of the capacity, the last one was a heavier gauge with a separate oven, but could only take short logs
  5. Think I put 2 chicken stock pots in that, but forgot my salt and pepper
  6. I do use a carbon monoxide alarm mate 👍 cheers
  7. I use the stove for heat, cooking, drying clothes etc I spend a lot of time at the plot, sometimes over a week and in the coldest of weather
  8. I must have mixed some of the more recently cut logs with the older ones, I've been doing a bit of a restoration job on a few acres of sitka spruce plantation and have got logs piled up all about the place
  9. Doesn't take long to clog the flue on the tent stove, just emptied it on Friday and was clogged again yesterday The contents of two cleans in the pic
  10. Does anybody use this as firewood, I burn it in a canvas tent along with some larch, Birch and any hardwood I manage to pick up I haven't got a burner in the house yet, but am looking into either a wood or multi fuel stove for the future Cheers 20251013_161054.mp4
  11. What if he's hung like a zebra?
  12. ****************in hell
  13. Paul Sullivans 5 star leather care wax?
  14. Could be, they look very similar including the flowers Cheers
  15. Pics are of some trees growing out of farm drainage ditches, are these wayfaring trees,.. Cheers
  16. I've done my cross cutting and maintenance, and small tree felling tickets, half way through the week of training I met an employer and have got a job to go into next month, getting some tickets opens doors, and is a very good way to meet new contacts
  17. Good stuff, be nice burning some oak wood, I used to camp at a place that has some oak trees, the seasoned branch wood was a good slow burner in the firebox
  18. Sounds nice that mate Think there's around thirty plots in this wood There's only two fairly young oaks in here, but there is some impressive mature oaks in other parts of the wood Do you camp in your wood? I'm out tonight, think it's going to be a cold one, but nice with the wood stove going
  19. Cheers WP No not selling, the wood will be used in here, either as building material, or firewood I usually cut low then level the stumps off at near ground level, these couple of larch had a twist in the bottom of the trunk, and I thought they might spin off in the wrong direction so cut the notches in a bit higher
  20. Cheers, I was a bit dubious of felling this Larch, it had a slight lean on it along with its neighbouring tree after storm Arwen, but had they uprooted themselves they would have landed on top of my camp, glad to say they landed where I planned for
