Firewood, Logs or Turf ?

sunny2004

I am looking for a supply of cheap logs or turf for the winter, any ideas ?

Hi Sunny

Just wondering where abouts are you located as I know 1 or 2 people that supply a trailer load of logs around the Ballon area.

I also have someone in Ballon who supplies a large trailer of logs for what I think is a good price. Possible we know the same people Tommy?
Sunny, PM me if you want his number.

How much?

I'd have to check with my minister for finance but I think she said €120, i'll be finished bagging them after delivery over the w/e and could tell you then how many.

Thank you guys. Appreciated.

Just wondering if anyone here knows anyone in the Carlow area selling dried hardwood firewood? I can get loads of softwood or so called "Seasoned" hardwood but looking for decent dried hardwood for a stove.

Cheers.

I bet if you bring it over a weighbridge you won't have anything near 3 tonnes .

btw - Kiln dried firewood is the best out there , especially if you have a multi-fuel stove

is this split firewood

^ what ya mean? Was it all cut up?

cam1452

ya cut up. ready to burn. how big of a trailer was it

No way would you get 3 tonne of firewood for that price. I'd have a fair guess that there wouldn't be much more than a half tonne in the load. 3 tonne of timber is a L.O.T. of dried timber, believe me.

beertons

I wan't here when he dropped it, had to fly off to hospital. Got him last year and the year before, and it was there or abouts 3 tonnes. PM me if you want his number. Dry wood too.

You should have called round to help bring it round the back then. Took 3 lads over 3 hours. There's enough to get me through to April, going by last years weather.

headmaster

As a matter of interest, where did you weigh it?

beertons

Have you anything helpful to add?
