Aye-up,
We have a wood burner in the kitchen we are very pleased with. It heats the ground and first floor of the house and we never put a radiator on anywhere except in the loft.
What I’m less pleased with is the amount and the cost of logs we use! I suppose you can’t have everything.
I’m wondering if a coarse woodchip would do the job of logs in the wood burner and, if so, how would it work out cost wise?
I’m not looking to go into mass vs efficiency calculations if I’m honest. It all makes my brain hurt. I’m a bit more of the opinion if anybody else does it I’ll just rock up at the nearest woodchip producers and get a grain trailer full to give it a go.
Plus, whilst trying to get lorries into fields during periods of wet weather it will be handy stuff to have around and throw into a gateway to help with traction if it doesn’t work out any use in the house.
Ta in advance.
Cheers, Pete
