Deere-est Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 what variety of wood is the best for firewood, I've got a job coming up which involves cutting Down 90-100 spruce, i was thinking about cutting, chopping and the selling it on as firewood, I've had a few people In asking me to keep behind any logs or fence posts I come across, would spruce be any use? Not the best but a shame to waste it, just get it dry. We get through 1500t at work of mainly beech as it is a hardwood, burns at a good rate and seasons relatively quickly. Ash we also like as it burns very hot but too quickly so you don't want much of it, anything that isn't straight enough to go through the kindling machine we throw in the log shed and it gets mixed in. We also use poplar for kindling but not for logs, its like balsa! Finally oak, burns hot and slow but takes a good two years to season so we dont get a lot of it if we can help it. Everything is bought in by the artic.load through FSC managed woodlands and plantations. Oh and 'a load' is half a Nissan Cabstar, about 1.3cube.

Deere-est Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Ours are both 05's too and both with Tipmasters, they go like stink but it is a hard life for them. A full truck is around 2.6cube, we don't go by wieght as it would change with each type of wood, time of year/seasoning etc. Doing it by volume ensures the customer gets the same amount of wood, regardless.

Deere-est Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Oh and we went to Bath Christmas Market today as well as some of the bigger retail outlets at Bridlington. Got nearly all of my shopping done for Christmas including a jacket for Mum and one for my brother, Sylvanian Familes stuff for neices up there. Cider brandy for my Dad and one for us, Elderflower wine for the inlaws, Somerset cheeses to go with a cheese board and wine for my sister, a pretty diary for Nan... Then a scrummy Bratwurst to stop the rumbling tum and four plain chocolate oranges as they seem to be few and far between this year and they were half price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 hope you kept to the limit especially after realising that :laugh: I got stuck behind a queue of traffic all following a lorry doing bang on 40mph as it is legally obliged to do so on the A4 between Marlborough and Hungerford. I have never been so infuriated in my life!! Ridiculous rule. . .. hence why I was pinged at 48mph on the A420 on a very similar bit of road!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Man with a van, Mark. Course was a bloody good morning spent mind. It should all be part of a compulsory training programme. Daft to teach people only if they do something wrong if you ask me. Now sat at Ipswich Docks, got here bang on the Dockers lunch break after hitting awful traffic on the M4, M25 twice and the A12. I was stationary on the M25 for a whole hour! Got to get tipped here and get to Cheffins and tip and reload yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CMB Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Helped clear out the old bathroom and load it on the pickup; took several water meter readings for 7 Trent (first one didn't make sense, turned out to be upside-down. Doh); felled a small 5-metre cupressus for a neighbour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
