Who burns what?

[Malt 379]

This afternoon I managed to get Antharacite Beans at £8 per 25kg sack. I brought a bag to test and will see how it burns over night once it gets colder here.

That's not a bad price Tuco. I found a 25kg bag in the garage at Tesco for £14.99 but then found a 20kg bag at a private petrol station for £7.

this is a good poem for wood burners and multi stoves ..........

 

Beechwood fires are bright and clear

If the logs are kept a year,

Chestnut's only good they say,

If for logs 'tis laid away.

Make a fire of Elder tree,

Death within your house will be;

But ash new or ash old,

Is fit for a queen with crown of gold

 

Birch and fir logs burn too fast

Blaze up bright and do not last,

it is by the Irish said

Hawthorn bakes the sweetest bread.

Elm wood burns like churchyard mould,

E'en the very flames are cold

But ash green or ash brown

Is fit for a queen with golden crown

 

Poplar gives a bitter smoke,

Fills your eyes and makes you choke,

Apple wood will scent your room

Pear wood smells like flowers in bloom

Oaken logs, if dry and old

keep away the winter's cold

But ash wet or ash dry

a king shall warm his slippers by.

For all the multi fuel stove owners, what do you burn to get efficient performance?

 

Coal and wood, or either one alone?

 

 

I hear you are using bridges? lol

On the Isle of Lewis everyone used to cut peat for the stove upto the mid 90's until oil became popular then about 90% of the houses had the oil fitted. Now that the price of oil has gone right up the amount of people cutting peat has gone up again!

 

My old man, stingy bugger that he is never moved with the times and we still cut peat. What l hate about is the monotony of it an l only help with cutting it and taking it home a month or two after its been cut depending on the weather. We cut 4 60 yard banks a year and cut two levels into the peat and over the course of 2 weeks we spend about 2 hours daily cutting 20 yards both levels and its boring as he11. But we find that it lasts us all year as the primary fuel for our Stanley Superstar stove although my old man does use coal as a base with 4 or 5 peats placed flatly above it for a slow burn overnight and this heats our house with around 10 radiators up nicely.

 

Not me in the below vid but this is how we cut peats.
