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

Flog those railway sleeper to a garden centre mate.

Cheers Arry

2 log stores filled, pile by the front door. Still got another bulk bag to unload. Load of Poplar to log and split. And half an oak tree on back field to cut up and carry back steady away in stealth mode.

And not paid a penny for any of em. All collected or swapped

What’s the best wood to burn for smell?

Just ordered 6 blue pallets sweet lads

Just chuck a load of pine cones on the fire. Smell sorted

If a pallet has MB stamped on it, it’s been treated with methyl bromide not good for you apparently.

Like the poem says ; fruit woods.

Only thing is that if you're  smelling your fire too much your chimney isn't  drawing fumes .

Been banned in the UK for over 10 yrs and in Europe for longer so only a slim chance of seeing a pallet treated with methyl bromide

Can't beat have a few Pine logs or the citrus smelling logs in a log basket.

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

Mate of mine spent a week in Swansea jail on remand for cutting a dead oak branch down a farmer said he could have then called the old bill on him, bit of a do when he appeared in court as we kicked off in the public gallery and they had to call in a few extra coppers to clear us out but we got the message across to the bench as my pal was released that day and the charges were dropped...Stealing wood is frowned upon in some places Captain so go a little steady with collecting it..
