Noted, Anyone any thoughts on the price tho, Is 450 for 10 cubic yards of soft wood reasonable?

45 a cube is cheap alright, esp for dry wood, edenderry pay more than that for wet woodchip (30%-45% MC) to burn on the power station.
Although I would suggest that if I were going to burn them I'd want to be very sure that they had not been treated with preservatives,
as when these are burnt some of the toxins produced are deposited nearby (most notably those which condense on the walls of your chimney).
I am aware that you mentioned that the seller had assured you they were not treated,,, however he'd be motivated to say that wouldn't he?
all the best

Unfortunately I don't have access to get a picture of the leaves of the tree

I think it's Douglas fir by looking on the net.

Its daylight robbery, sell bulk loads of 1m3 hardwood here out of the yard for 55 euro, so the bag above would cost circa 100 euro of us....

where are you based?

wayoutwest · 25-10-2016 11:50am

Jaymla627 - is your product (€55/ M2) fully seasoned and guaranteed to be under 20% M.C ? ....if so its a good deal.
The hotlogs deal at nearly €210/M2 (loosethrown, not stacked) doesn't sound the best deal out there - it equates to about €8/ feed or large net bag.
I would guess that their market probably comprises of people who want just an occasional fire and don't want to run the risk of buying firewood that hisses steam when burnt - which, unfortunately is a common experience. Good luck to them.
As someone who uses wood as sole fuel for heating radiators and water, I would (at this time of year)be getting through a couple of feed bags a day - so at those rates it would be costing me €112/week !!

How much is a low side 8x4 trailer of hardwood making atm

Depends on a variety of factors but ~ 100, around €80/m3 down in KK for seasoned ash.

wayoutwest · 02-11-2018 10:50am

hempel wrote: »

Price would depend on how many cubic metres are in the load. An 8x4 (2.4 × 1.2 M) trailer with 30 cm sides = 0.86 M3 , with 40 cm sides = 1.15 M3.
Price would also depend on -
- species of timber (eg: whitethorn and beech worth more than birch/alder)

- how seasoned is it (eg: kiln dried worth more than air dried worth more than half or unseasoned)

- uniformity and size of logs (eg: clean,straight, same size OR random size from arb waste, maybe ncluding smaller branchwood and bit of moss.

- delivery distance.

Anyone with wood for a stove for sale in the Cork City area?
If so, what price per bag/per kg.

19-01-2019 11:21pm

Anyone using barrow FIBC bags for timber?

Toying with buying some for personal use. Idea being cut and split straight into them for storage/seasoning. Can store in old outhouses. Attraction is being able to shift about with a sack trolley and standard door opening where tractors and loaders can't go.

Any recommendations on going vented or not?

https://goo.gl/images/5gTwZH

Blackcurrants · 19-01-2019 11:43pm

Definitely go for vented bags if you plan to season the timber in them. Timber will sweat and go moldy in unvented bags. Even the vented ones will, if there isn't adequate air flow. The Barrow bags (.25m3?) are as expensive as 1m3 bags as far as I remember so be careful when filling as heavy timber can tear the bags if falling from a height.
Best of luck.

Thanks,
The choice is kinda barrow bags into old outhouses or else big bags and a tarp outside.

Are there any particular thoughts on whether seasoning blocks must bit kept dry. Suppose what I am trying to get at is it ok to let it be rained on for first year and only cover for last 3/4 months to dry?

Blackcurrants · 21-01-2019 10:24am

Out of direct rain, up off the ground with good air flow. Timber in lengths doesn't need to be covered but split logs would need to be. For denser species like beech and oak, it can take up to two year to season fully. Moisture meters aren't great at giving you an accurate reading of moisture %. Much better to weight the log, split it down and dry it fully in an oven or behind a stove. The weight lost is the % of water relative to the wet weight of the log. Ash and many softwoods can be dried to below 20% mc in 6 months (including the 4 summer months).

Just to add a little something,

I have noticed that the spring summer period is the best time for drying split timber in covered outside stacks. Probably due to the lower humidity typical of rising temperatures in the spring.
Aspect is also very important, a stack at the crest of a south facing slope being the ideal location, and hilltop or windy place works well.
4 small tall stacks will dry more quickly than the equivalent volume in a large stack. Its all about surface area exposed to the wind and a looser stack whilst a little more difficult to build dries much more evenly and thoroughly.

I keep the bags.

They hold about three-quarters of a cubic metre, so around €90 or €100.
