Wood burning snippet

[Nix]

Opinions seem to vary re drying wood ready for burning. I guess it's really all down to common sense. I've got a tree surgeon mate who sometimes lets it dry for only 6 months (good summer weather) whereas some insist on a full year no matter what. All down to weather conditions and where/how it's stored. Wood is great but we find we use more coal than anything else cos it lasts so much longer. Did a little price comparison a couple of years ago and coal came out the winner when looking at convenience and price. Doesn't have that wonderful smell though!

I'm often seen taking wood from skips etc, you simply can't beat free wood!
