[QUOTE="farmernick, post: 308368, member: 5831"] Confident I can dry to 15% if it's not raining out! I have been burning bales but there isn't the kwh's for what I want with this side of it. I can legally burn grade a recycled shredded timber as a heat source. Will try chip but my system isn't ideal for it. I have had several site visits to other set ups and what they burn is much more dubious, IMHO the EA and OFGEM will catchup with them eventually. Fully appreciate the quality is key which is why I want the delivery and collection driver to be the same, then it is more in their interest to get it right, all we need then is a system. As I have all the infrastructure in place it makes good sense to try this with a view to establishing long term consistency. Have you experience in log drying? That is a plan B but not sure it's such a good core plan, am looking at container drying systems but start up costs exist which I am keen to avoid when we have the rest of the infrastructure in situ. I hear others dry in in the round but think the ventilated ton bags may work better, haulage kills this even worse though! Any other ideas?! Ruled out poly tunnels as not RHI compatible and green house look costly, all though looking to rent a few acres of south facing land with cheap energy supplies.....! [/QUOTE]
