Fire Thread! - Stoves, Wood, Axes, Chainsaws

[ristac]

Both of these piles were £100 each (delivered and unloaded) from the local tree surgeon

Have to process and season myself but it's how I get my logs now

Before a few weeks back and this thread, if ever I’d have needed a tree cutting down, if they’d offered to leave the wood I’d have said no way, I just didn’t realise how expensive it was. With that in mind, this amount is surely deal of the year

Rang first thing this morning for a load of logs and they turned up at 11.30 - 1.5 Cm for £140

Would have filled this store but topped up another which I am digging into.

So annoying I just can't find anywhere near me that works out cheaper than the likes of Luxury wood.

When it comes to the cast iron log splitters, do you get what you pay for, is it worth investing in one

Just been outside and logged up the bench by back door -logged up wicker basket in porch -logged up bin by fire and grabbed a few Hot logs from shed.
Going to light a big fire at 1.00 and sit down and read "Girl with dragon tattoo" Read them all ages ago but no harm reading them again.
Happy xmas to you all.

I am a Brandy man -I bought myself a bottle of Ardbeg 6 yrs ago for xmas and still haven't opened it.

The evening was ruined by wife putting TV on and watching some rubbish.

Todays job is clean kitchen window outside - only place for hood outlet was next to window and it soon get's covered with grease spots.
2nd job is make two brackets ready for two new cameras.

Finding a cast iron surround to fit my recent installation was more of a challenge than I imagined and not to mention the £1-3k pricetag.

I found this trash

And turned it into a little treasure after some 4-5 hours.

After last night do you think there will be a glut of logs on the market or a price drop.

Needed a top up earlier as we're flying through my stock with this cold spell. Got a few tonne chopped in a couple of hours.
