Didn't I hear about some new law prohibiting the sale of undried wood? Something to do with reducing pollution. But I may have imagined it.
Only if you get dragged down to there level. They do a bag or 2 here and there don’t always have logs in stock usually damp so don’t worry about them.Firewood is a mugs game. Too many young lads with a pickup and chainsaw that will do it for some beer money.
There is but I’ve yet to hear the full rules and how they are going to police it .Didn't I hear about some new law prohibiting the sale of undried wood? Something to do with reducing pollution. But I may have imagined it.
Its true and sensible really. They are stopping the sale of "ready to burn" firewood over a certain moisture content. Possibly 20%?Didn't I hear about some new law prohibiting the sale of undried wood? Something to do with reducing pollution. But I may have imagined it.

The other trick is dont try and compete with the cheap suppliers.The trick of the firewood game I am told is to be give the timber by the tree surgeon guys or chop up trees around the place for people and take them away. The firewood sale is then a bonus and nearly every farm must own a chainsaw.
I don’t think the definitive issue of the new regs has been published yet.Didn't I hear about some new law prohibiting the sale of undried wood? Something to do with reducing pollution. But I may have imagined it.
If sold in >2m3 I believe.Ù

Sure you can still sell it as "unseasoned " if you state that on the invoice.

Seems a stupid unpolicable law thought up by townies to combat fog from the wet logs bought on garage forecourts on a rainy day.
Going to be quiet next winter as most will have bought oil at 20ppl and have worked out that logs don't stack up.
I sell quite a few in summer. They use them for firepits in the garden apparentlyOne of my customers rang today to order a bag of logs. Who orders logs in the middle of summer?
I'd order now simply to get it out of the way and in-the-shed-and-forgotten....One of my customers rang today to order a bag of logs. Who orders logs in the middle of summer?
