stewie 3,387 Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 me and a couple of friends are hopefully going to set up proper through the year. a keeper i no has shit loads of hangers that need sorting and says if we get them down we can take them...........and another friend has a 18 tonne lorry with grab plus a tractor with a log splitter on so hopefully we can make a few quid through the winter when gardening work drys up..............lads round here are selling them for £150-£200 a transit tipper load, and literally backing up and tipping them off on the drive...........we have just brought an old cast iron saw bench that we are going to convert so you can run it off the tractor.........well my mate is....... and any wood we get over the year will be cut up and sold in tonne bags..........thinking of around £30 a bag of these cuts........ £130 a load of logs and small net bags of kindling wood for £3......... also if a tree has been down on the ground for a year or two, could you sell as soon as its split or do you have to season it still........... defo worth a try with the scrap game all but dead.........

Chid 6,493 Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 also if a tree has been down on the ground for a year or two, could you sell as soon as its split or do you have to season All depends split wood dries quicker than unsplit wood, if your serious about doing logs why not price up one of the wee moisture gauges , that'll tell you if woods seasoned enough Quote Link to post Share on other sites

alimac 882 Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 My best mate had a load of pine chopped & stacked which he kept in the nursery greenhouses for about 18 month , he was moaning that it burnt too quick , sure enough it was sitting at about 3 or 4 % u could near light it with a lighter.. I used to get all the off cuts from a company that built timber framed houses, would get 5 or 6 tote bags a week, couldn't burn it quick enough... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paid 935 Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 Need another good wind to blow through my area :-) before i end up buying some. even if you did have a wind they wouldnt be seasoned would they, or do you burn them green? Depends mate, I do burn birch green, and i have use of a big boiler room, i can burn most wood after a week or so in their, its bone dry. But was more thinking for next winter.
