Another friend suggested below

My ton of rocket blaze ecologs arrived today .Fired up the stove in 13 x 13 ft room with three logs , left them burn for abt 30 mins and then I put a ash log in .

The heat is unreal , but you would want to use the ash logs as well to keep the costs down . Very pleased with my first test firing without coal .

Yeah I found they did heat up very quickly. But thought they burnt quick too. Closing stove down to a glow the temperature dropped though pretty quick. But I’m thinking I need a bit more time to get used to lighting and controlling wood fires instead of coal.

I got 2m3 of oak from Monahans for 350 but the price has since gone up to 370. The site you linked in 390 for 2m3 so Monahans are still slightly cheaper.

Ordered 10 bags just for starters and short on storage

Said they cannot deliver till early next week

So see how this goes

chris_ie · 20-11-2020 04:35PM

First fire on now with the wood.

Started with 4 rocket blazes stacked in a H. Fire going fairly quickly up to good temperature. Added a log.

Once into got up to the optimum temperature, according to the the stove thermometer, I closed off the air a bit so the flames weren’t roaring.

Added another few logs. Temperature stayed in the sweet spot for a while but when It dropped a bit I added another log. Fire kinda went down and I had to open up the air again.

Through more logs than I thought. But completely cleaned the stove out before hand. So hoping once the ashes are established and a bed of embers it might burn slower and more consistently.

They should off a course on lighting and controlling a wood fire

Any recommendations for 1m3 of kiln dried oak delivered? My usual two suppliers are out of stock and I'm hesitant in taking a gamble elsewhere without a recommendation, given some terrible experiences in the past with poor quality fuel. I am based in Dublin if that makes a difference. Thanks

Thanks for the suggestions, I did ring around and ended up with another order from Bioglow. They had no crates of oak left (I am only interested in oak), but did offer me a pallet of 32 x 40L nets of kiln dried oak. A first for me. That has equated to around 460kg of firewood for €230 delivered.

The wood appears similar to the scraps of crate oak left from a previous order with Bioglow, fingers crossed it burns as well.

my father is getting a new stove and is actually going to get wood pellet stove? Is that the way now? Is that what people are getting nowadays? Off topic maybe.

Firblog · 20-11-2020 10:38PM

Sry don’t know , got a loan of it. Double axle filled to the brim

Be a fine trailer for 4-5 meters, this trailer of mine is 12 by 5''6 and I'd reckon it holds 2.5 metres Max.

You'd be ok then, some lads selling logs are way out with there trailer, and bag measurements.

Would a wood stove be much more efficient at burning wood than a multi fuel stove?

Don't know, wood burning stoves generally are not lined internally with firebrick, check the efficiency figures if you are buying something.

Just curious more than anything. We have a Stanley Erin boiler stove. Multi fuel so has the ash pan below grate. Was just curious if, in general, wood only stoves were more efficient.

AFAIK wood pellet stoves are mainly for people who are heating radiators off them. Most people just heating a single room have a normal wood burning stove rather than a pellet one. If you go over to the Heating and Plumbing forum theres a good thread there on stoves with help from lads who install them and they'll know whats suitable for your dad.

Thats great value really, if I had the storage space I think buying it by the trailer load is the way to go as there are significant savings over buying it by the crate. . Do you know what hardwoods they were or is it a mix of everything? And how long did it take you to stack the lot of it into storage, its a lot of wood.

Seems like a good deal on firewood....
