Looking for a supply of arbochip for my big bale boiler.
Currently using about 3t a week, needs to be below 25%DM ideally but I could take green and dry it possibly.
Can take artics.

Do you mean arb chip?

have you got the means to dry it?

which boiler, F2000?
Yes I mean arb chip and yes I have a Farm 2000 boiler which I am currently burning arb chip in.Heard there is a bit of a glut of arb chip around at the moment so was looking for a cheaper source. I could only dry it by leaving it in a heap and covering it with Toptex, which I am told does work.

ask local tree surgeons, I get about 40t a month in but I don’t like burning it, I get a lot of clinker and poor heat output.

are you paying for it then in its raw state?

What size is your boiler? is it on RHI?

Ok, what do you call dear though? What’s your cost per ton / m3? How much heat are you getting out of the chip?

have you ever had an rhi inspection? Depending On when your boiler was installed they may not like you burning chip.

im burning grade a here but mine went in 2012 Pre emissions.
