Firewood Buy and Sell Thread

What thickness do the rings need to be? My stove takes logs 20" long, so the rings are cut to that size. In future I'll cut them thinner/ smaller.
Any consensus on the ideal length/ diameter for firewood ? I find there is a woeful range in size requirements depending on stove opes and capacities. And customers do be remarkable fussy.

Burning wood is a chemical reaction. Simply put there are two parts to it; the initial wood gas burning off which gives the dancing flame and the secondary char burning and glowing, the second being a slower burn.

More advanced stoved look to maximise the energy recovered from the fire by ensuring all the wood gas is burnt; this typically involves regulating the airflow to minimise unburnt gas exiting from via the flue. The dryer the wood the better, adding water (in the form of damp wood) will only drop combustion temperature and reduce efficiency.

The reason wood burns too quickly is a shortcoming is stove design and build rather than a problem with the wood.

As a general point, save yourself money and do what the Scandinavians do; buy your wood in late spring, split it get it covered and get a good airflow through. Sub 20% moisture is going to be good enough for most devices

Hi,

Im currently looking around to stock up on firewood for the winter-Cork city. Whats the best price anyone has found? Been quoted 13 euro for a 15kg bag of kiln dried birch logs but think i can prob find it cheaper?

Hi all, I said I'd stick this here instead of starting a new thread, I have been offered a lorry load of poplar if I want it.

Question 1. What's it like as a firewood, small house to heat which I use coal and spruce for, is it as good as spruce ?

Question 2. If not any good for firewood can it be milled into lengths for house building as I know carpenters like polar as its easy to work with ?

Many thanks

Hi Still Stihl,

Poplar makes nice floorboards, It was extensively used in the past mainly in "industrial" buildings because of its very good abrasion resistance. Reclaimed poplar floorboards fromthese buildings are a "thing" in the USA at the moment............

It is not special as firewood, it would have a similar density to spruce so a similar amount of heat per m³ with the advantage that it is not as sparky.

Hi All.

Im looking for pulpwood delivered in west clare? 3 or 4 lifts / a truckload depending on price. Anyone having any info can P.M. me.

Thanks

What kinda of load, an artic load?

How much per ton?

I know that last year a lad was selling pine in those bags for 85/bag collected.

Shure that’s more like pallets

Just spotted a recent 'deal' on firewood - wondering what peoples thoughts are, good price? No access locally to firewood.

Kiln Dried Beech Firewood Log Crate 450kg - €299.00

I know a lad who buys artic loads of spruce n has a processor. He said coillte are a complete waste of time. Ring a few haulage crowds I reckon
