DIDO.1 22,847 Posted December 21, 2022 Report Share Posted December 21, 2022 I've just done some moles for a farm that produces kiln dried logs so I always just take logs rather than bill him. 3 big bags beginning of the season and 3 due before Christmas. Mix that with all my own collected logs and I'm sorted for this year and into next winter. Mrs hasn't been working for months so I've used double the smokeless coal, normally a scoop at night but I've been doing one in the morning as well....I've used 200kg already . Might have to order another 250. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

terryd 8,692 Posted December 22, 2022 Report Share Posted December 22, 2022 Many years ago in the forestry one of my jobs was pointing fence posts on a pto driven saw bench. So every post you would have four cut offs by the side of the blade that you had to grab and throw behind. There was mountains of the stuff in various sizes upto gatepost. We mostly pushed it over the edge of the tracks to rot but did burn some at home. But sparky as hell and tarred up chimney 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Greyman 29,296 Posted December 22, 2022 Report Share Posted December 22, 2022 Beggars can’t be choosers I,ll burn anything, I don’t have the storage space on a boat to build up big reserves but have a map in my mind of fallen trees and ones that are dead but still standing so once a week I collect a weeks worth carry a chainsaw in the van everywhere and grab what I can, have even coned a road off before now put the high viz on and logged up fallers in the past no one bats an eyelid as long as you have cones and high viz 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Daniel cain 46,451 Posted December 22, 2022 Report Share Posted December 22, 2022 anyone in South Wales want firewood? I've got a load F.O.C,on the deck,you can cut and collect as much as you want...also got around 100 old railway sleepers you could burn and use for the mancave/workshop..ive cut off most the stumps and root balls,there's beech,silver birch...saves me spending 2 weeks chopping and chipping 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
