The firewood processor can keep up with some of the expensive firewood processors on the market. Just drop a 15 foot log on the large roller bench and the rest is effortless. the roller bench conveys the log forward with ease, with the push of a leaver

Next lower the log clamp to hold the log in position while cutting, then push the hydraulic spool valve leaver forward starting the hydraulic saw, lower the chainsaw into the log and a few seconds later your block of wood falls into the splitter trough and is split and discharged with the push of another lever and the cycle starts again. No more sore backs and less handling of the wood results in higher production and less fatigue

specifications

Power - tractor driven hydraulics
Splitting force - 30 ton
Chainsaw bar - 20 inch Oregon
Saw Chain Lubrication - Gravity feed
Maximum log diameter - 20 inch
max length of log - 20 feet

Plant A Tree Campaign

2011-11-25T11:49:00.000-08:00

Although this site is all about the production and burning of firewood, wee want to do are bit for the environment and apart from saying that your firewood should always be sourced from a sustainably managed forest, wee come up with this plant a tree campaign

The goal - get as many trees planted as wee can

how ? - Wee need to all get together by becoming part of this campaign, spreading the word and getting involved in any way you can

So this year why not do something good for the environment and plant a tree?

Why a tree? well planting a tree can be such an easy thing to do but yet it can still be a massive benefit for the environment. Trees are like the lungs of the planet they breath in carbon dioxide and breathe out oxygen. This helps with the fight against global warming and the green house effect. Trees also provide habitat for wildlife as well as having many other benefit's.

There are many ways you can help form planting a tree in your own back garden or land to getting your local community involved and the tree doesn't have to be one that will grow huge like an oak tree! it can be a small one! Every little helps.

Even spreading the word and liking this campaign on facebook, twitter,digg, google +1 etc will be a massive help! As the more people sees it the better chance wee have of more people planting a tree and before long wee will have a massive forest - Thanks

FIREWOOD

When winter comes firewood and wood burning stoves are a great way to heat our homes and provide a nice cosy atmosphere

But before you buy your firewood for this winter here are a few important tips first

Buy local

Buying from a local firewood supplier promotes good forestry and helps stop the spread of harm full diseases and insects which can harm and kill trees

Plan ahead

Buying firewood early and not in the winter in peak season can save you money, as firewood prices probably wont be as dear. Or if you are able to buy and store green wood, until it becomes fully dry, may also save you money, as green firewood is usually much cheaper than seasoned firewood

Different types of firewood

Not all types of firewood burn the same it depends on the tree species the wood came from and how well seasoned it is. Denser woods burn more slowly and have a higher heating value. In general, hardwoods (wood from leaf-bearing trees) are generally denser for eg Oak, Ash, Beach

Softwoods (wood from needle-bearing trees) are typically easier to split, and although they may burn hotter, they also generally burn a lot faster. some eg would be fir
See more and the differences between hardwood and softwood here

Splitting firewood

Not all species of firewood split the same. This is good to know if you plan to split the firewood yourself to save you money. the denser the firewood the harder it will probably be to split

Find out what your paying for first

The price of firewood is generally based on the following factors

1 The quantity of wood ordered. The standard unit of measure for firewood is called a "cord", which usually measures 4 feet wide, 4 feet deep, and 8 feet long. Whenever possible, order wood using this standard. You may also see firewood for sale by the "face cord" (8 feet long, 4 feet tall, and only as deep as the wood is cut), "ricks" (non-standardized piles), or "pick-up loads" (which can vary in volume depending on the size of the truck). See more on a cord of firewood

2 The cut size of the firewood. Most firewood is cut between 16 and 18 inches in length. If you need a special size to accommodate your firebox, expect to pay more.

3 Whether the firewood is "seasoned" (dry) or "green". To be considered "seasoned", fresh cut firewood must be allowed to air dry for at least 12 months or till the moisture content of the firewood is below 20% before being burned.

4   Extra services. (e.g. delivery, stacking, splitting, etc.). Depending on where you live, these services may cost extra.

Burning firewood

Have your chimney inspected annually
have your wood burning stove or fireplace cleaned and inspected to make sure everything is in proper working order.

1    Firewood should be well seasoned before it is burnt. That means taking the moisture content down to 25-20% from typical values of 45-30%. Typically that means cutting and splitting the Firewood into smaller pieces by using a firewood processor or log splitter etc and then air drying. The bigger the pieces the longer they will take to dry. That is one of the reasons why chopping the wood before hand is a good idea.

2    Burning firewood which is not dry Causes tar and the build up of other waste substances in the stove and the flue, which can lead to chimney fires and chimney corrosion. Is inefficient – all the fire’s energy goes into driving the remaining water out of the log rather than producing heat. They don't produce much heat. Wet firewood or logs smoulder, produce smoke and steam and don’t produce many flames or burn well.

Drying firewood

1   One of the most important factors in drying and keeping your firewood dry is air circulation and keeping it off the ground. This stops the firewood from taking moisture from the ground. To ensure proper drying your firewood should be stored in a well ventilated place.

2    One of the most common errors made is to pile their firewood logs onto the ground and cover the whole firewood pile with a tarpaulin or plastic sheeting all the way to the ground. Covering the whole firewood pile all the way to the ground just seals moisture inside and when covered the moisture evaporates from the wood and condenses on the tarp into drops that rain back on the wood this encourages mould and decay to spread in the firewood logs.

3   If you cover your logs with a tarpaulin or cover you must ensure that the sides of the log store or pile are not covered. The open sides encourage airflow and keep the wood dry and encourage it to season well, any moisture can escape this way from the logs.In this case rain may get the sides of your firewood pile wet but the inside of the firewood pile will stay dry and that is better than having the whole firewood pile become wet and moldy

4   Probably the best way to keep firewood dry and dry the fastest is to store it in a firewood shed or other structure that has good air circulation. Usually a structure with a roof and 3 sides, with the sides not going all the way to the ground to let air underneath. A good way to keep the firewood off the ground is to use pallets. this also helps air circulation

How to know if your firewood is seasoned

The ends contain shrinkage cracks from the drying process and have a dark gray or weathered appearance. The bark may also be loosely attached to the outside.

When you bang two of pieces of seasoned wood together they make a clear-sounding "clink" rather than a dull-sounding thud.

The firewood feels light, but still solid. It ignites quickly, and no water is visibly exiting the firewood while it burns.

use a firewood moisture meter. This will tell you the percentage of moisture in a piece of firewood

Firewood moisture meter

A firewood moisture meter is a very useful tool for helping you to ensure that you get the most out of your firewood. Your firewood moisture meter can help you make sure that you are buying well seasoned firewood, and that your firewood supplier is not repeatedly ripping you off. A firewood moisture checker is usefull, as we all know that some firewood suppliers do not deliver well seasoned wood. The first you will know of it may well be when you notice that your wood burning stove isn't giving out much heat and or that it is hard to light. It doesn't just stop there burning unseasoned wood will tar up your chimney, increasing the risk of chimney fires as well as reducing the life of your wood burning stove and chimney. Burning unseasoned wood is inefficient and results in high levels of particulates, which is bad for health. In terms of how much heat you get out of your wood stove, the moisture content of your firewood is probably the single most important thing to consider.

To take an accurate moisture reading you need to measure the moisture on the inside of your piece of firewood, the firewood will be more dry on the outside where the wind and sun can get to it more readily. So split your piece of firewood down the middle, push the pins on the end of the moisture meter into one of the freshly split faces of the wood, not the end grain and not the outside faces of the wood, ideally near where the middle of the piece was before you split it, and press the Power button. The moisture reading will appear on the screen as a percentage.

So next time you get a firewood delivery take out your firewood moisture meter and, before your supplier unloads, grab a couple of logs, split them in half with your axe or hatchet and take a couple of moisture readings. Ideally firewood should have a moisture content of 20% or lower, a few logs at around 25% isn't too bad as long as most of the load is under that

Drying firewood fast

2011-01-26T08:59:00.000-08:00

There is no real fast way of drying firewood unless you have some kind of firewood kiln. which most of us will not have. So what is the next best thing to use?Well probably the best way for drying firewood fast and the most economical way is to stack your firewood but one of the biggest secrets to this is air circulation. By this i mean stacking it in a windy location, this is the key. The more wind you have passing through your stack the better, also if you live in a sunny place stacking it in a sunny location is great.

Well how do i stack my firewood? well there are loads of different methods out there from criss crossing your firewood pieces to stacking in a straight line and most of them will work. Aslong as there are plenty of air gaps and you leave plenty of space between your rows. Also buying a firewood rack and stacking them on that can be a good idea as this will keep your firewood off the ground and makes it easier stacked as there are usually two upright sides to hold the stack together. Here are is a good example above

You mite be thinking that's allot of hard work why not just leave your firewood in a big pile?Well in my experience you will find that they will not dry as quickly, only the ones on the outside will dry and the ones on the inside will still be wet (green) and may even start to mould. This is because the air or wind isn't getting through them

Also i common mistake people make when drying there firewood is to cover their hole firewood pile or stack all the way to the ground. This just seals in the moisture and your firewood will start to sweat, this will cause mold and rot and will not help it dry. if your going to cover your stack just cover the top and not the sides. This will let the air circulate through it and keep the rain from soaking down through the top of the stack

Pellet stove vs Wood stove

2011-01-26T05:45:00.000-08:00

Pellet stoves are now becoming more popular and maybe you are thinking which is better a pellet stove or a wood stove. There are sum advantages and disadvantages between both types of stove. So the choice you will make will probably depend on you heating requirements and preferences. Pellet stoves are usually bought as an alternative to traditional wood stoves by people who like the idea of heat from wood, but don’t want some of the disadvantages of heating with firewood and wood stoves.

Advantages for pellet stoves

1 wood pellets usually have a lower moisture contain than ordinary wood usually around 4 to 8% making them more efficient at providing energy meaning not as much heat loss

2 wood pellet stoves are usually thermostatically controlled. like oil or electric heating.
you set the thermostat to the desired setting and it will try keep the room to that temperature

3 wood pellets stoves have an automatic feed system. feeding the wood pellets into the stove automatically at different intervals or when needed to keep the temperature right. No more getting up in the night to put on coal or wood logs on the fire. Just fill up the hopper with pellets. usually once or twice a day depending on how much heat is needed

4 Because wood pellet stoves are more efficient allot of the heat isn't lost up the chimney making the chimney or exhaust not as hot. Sum models need no chimney atoll and just require a simple vent making them not as costly to install

5 pellet stoves are a very clean burning heat source and usually produce no visible smoke

Advantages for wood stoves

1 For sum people it is just the idea of having a traditional wood stove and the atmosphere that this brings and this makes it better than having a pellet stove

2 firewood is usually easier to come by than pellets and in allot of cases people just like making there own firewood and working with wood and this is quite easily done if you have the tools and a source of wood or trees

3 pellet stoves usually require electricity to run them, wood stoves do not

4 pellet stoves usually have a fan to cerculate the heat which maybe noisy

Difference between softwood and hardwood

2011-01-25T12:31:00.000-08:00

Hardwood firewood in most parts of the world is considered to be the best firewood to burn! but is it really that much better and what is the difference between it and softwood. One of the biggest differences is density. Usually hardwoods are more dense than softwood meaning that there is more solid wood in any given piece compared with the same size piece of softwood, because of this the denser the wood the more heat and energy the wood will give off. This makes hardwood a good choice for burning in your home as it will last longer and give off more heat over a longer period of time.

Softwoods are usually less dense, which makes them burn faster and not give off as much heat over the same amount of time as hardwood. Softwoods are easier to light than hardwoods, which make them good for starting fires and getting a hot fire quickly and for making kindling with. softwoods are usually cheaper to buy than hardwoods

Softwoods come from coniferous trees they are also known as evergreens, or gymnosperms. Rather than losing their leaves all at one time, they tend to shed their leaves which are called "needles" these plants produce and let there seeds fall to the ground with no covering

Hardwoods, on the other hand, come from deciduous trees which lose their leaves throughout the year and produce seeds covered with some kind of covering sometimes a fruit or nut. such an an apple or a hard shell such as an acorn. Hardwoods are angiosperms

Some soft wood trees include cedar, fir, larch, pine. Hardwood trees include oak, ash, beach, sycamore

A common misconception is that hardwoods are denser or harder than softwood but this is not always true. Balsa wood, which is a very light weight wood is considered a hardwood. in the other hand Douglas fir is a softwood and is considered one of the strongest woods

What is a face cord

2011-01-24T17:28:00.000-08:00

What is a face cord ? A face cord of firewood is a stack of firewood four feet high by eight feet long and only as deep as the length of the firewood pieces are cut too.

So the problem with measuring firewood by a face cord is that it is not an exact measurement. This is because the firewood pieces could be cut to any length for eg they could be cut to 16 inches long or 24 inches long and still be called a face cord.

So without knowing the depth of the stack or the length of the pieces of firewood you will not know how much firewood you are buying and usually the pieces are cut to random sizes. Which means you really don't know how much firewood you are buying and probably because of this selling firewood by the face cord is illegal in some places.

If you really want to no how much firewood you are buying, buy by the cord of firewood which is 128 cubic feet of firewood or by a fraction of a cord eg half cord or a quarter cord. These are recognized as legal units of measuring firewood

For more on a cord of firewood see how much is a cord of firewood

Hope this helped on answering your questions on what is a face cord. Feel free to comment!

How much is a cord of firewood

2011-01-24T14:41:00.000-08:00

How much is a cord of firewood?
knowing what a cord of firewood is and how much firewood is in it will help you understand how much firewood you have or are buying and might help you get the best value for money. A lot of people get confused by this measurements and end up getting either more firewood or less than they were expecting.

A full cord of firewood is 128 cubic feet of tightly stacked wood. The most common cord is a 4′x4′x8′ stack. Although this is the most common cord dimension there is a hole lot of different ones that will add up to a cord like 2x4x16, 1x4x32 these all add up to 128 cubic feet which is a full cord of firewood. It doesn't matter what the dimensions are as long as they add up to 128 cubic feet. which is a full cord

To find out how many cords of wood you have in your firewood stack measure the height, width and depth of your stack in feet and multiply these three numbers together to give you how many cubic feet of firewood you have. Then since a cord of wood is 128 cubic feet divide the number of cubic feet in your stack by 128. This will give you your answer

In any stack of firewood there is always going to be air gaps no mater what way it is stacked but the more tightly stacked the cord of wood. the more wood will be in the cord. there are different ways to stack wood sum people like criss-crossing the wood pieces. This might help in the drying of the firewood but there will be a hole lot of air gaps this way meaning less wood in that cord compared with sum other ways of stacking the firewood.

The amount of firewood in a cord of wood can also depend on the size and shapes of the pieces of wood, it can also depend on the person who stacked it, sum people are better than others at stacking and fitting the wood pieces together this means that not every cord of wood is going to be the same and even the same cord of wood knocked down and built over again can end up with less firewood or needing more firewood in it. This can be because in the differences in fitting the firewood pieces together

So in conclusion a wood cord is probably not an exact measurement on how much firewood is in a stack but is a good guide

Investing in timber. Does money grow on trees?

2011-01-23T11:25:00.000-08:00

Does money really grow on trees?
Investing in timber. It sounds the ideal investment. Buy a piece of woodland or forestry plantation feel good about preserving the environment and enjoy a financial return as you harvest some of the timber you have planted in your forestry.

Even with ongoing international pressure against deforestation and illegal logging, globally tropical forests are being destroyed at a rate of around 13 million ha per year. This is roughly four times the size of Belgium and this destruction is responsible for 20% of global greenhouse gas emissions this is more than all the world’s planes, trains and automobiles combined. Despite this only a measly 1% of tropical forests are certified by third parties as being sustainably managed.

Tropical Timber Investments Tropical Timber investments such as in Brazil have recently made more accessible and a variety of providers offer direct investment solution in tropical tree plantations to individual investors, which can be an interesting alternative to common stock market investments. Tropical Timber investments normally base on sustainable forestry management practices, use certifications from the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) and plant woods such as Eucalyptus, Teak and Mahagony and other species which have a high commercial value and aid the reforestation efforts in countries such as Panama or Brazil. Such investments show normally an expected yearly return of around 10% - 15% over a 20 - 25 year horizon, dependent on forecasted assumptions and the plantation management

Homemade firewood processor

2011-01-20T04:05:00.000-08:00

Firewood processors are essential tools for cutting and splitting large volumes of firewood efficiently and safely. Unfortunately, these machines are expensive, but however

for around £1500, a homeowner can construct his own firewood processor, and enjoy the benefits (and perhaps the profits as well) of producing firewood with your very own firewood processor

Things You Will Probably Need

Welder - arc/mig

Hand tools - spanners etc

Power tools - drills, cut of saw, grinder etc

Steel - box iron, channel iron, angle iron, steel plate etc

Hydraulic motors

Hydraulic cylinders

To build your homemade firewood processor you will probably have to purchase firewood processor plans or design your own plans. To design your own a good idea would be to look at other firewood processors and choose which one you think works the best and base your plans on that or pick which ideas you like the best from different firewood processors and put them all together

You will have to choose the key equipment that you want to power your firewood processor. Do you want the firewood processor to b electric or hydraulic or a mixture of both etc. Do you want it to cut the firewood with a chainsaw or a circular saw. You will also have to decide what size of timber you will be cutting and base your plans around this, so that your firewood processor will be able to handle from the smallest diameter length of wood to the biggest diameter length of wood you will have

The firewood processors chain saw

2011-01-19T12:56:00.001-08:00

The firewood processors homemade hydraulic chainsaw is constructed from a cheap chainsaw that i bought on eBay and a hydraulic motor. I dismantled the chain saw to get the parts i needed for the firewood processor. All i was after was one half of

the crank case housing ( the side the chainsaw bar is on ) and the crank shaft. The piston and crank shaft was all one piece, so i had to remove the piston from it with a grinder, so that i just ended up with a shaft. I then got a flat piece of steel plate and cut it so size. I then drilled holes in the plate to line up with the holes in chainsaws crank case so that i could bolt it together and a big hole in the centre to allow the crank shaft to go threw. I then bolted the steel plate and the case together

Next step was to try connect a hydraulic motor to this. The hydraulic motor that i bought was a Parker f11 10cc hydraulic motor it has a max continuous RPM of 9900 i think. So to connect them together i bought a taper lock sprocket and bush to suit the diameter of the hydraulic motors shaft which i think was 25mm. I then cut the shaft and welded the sprocket part on to the shaft ( this took a bit of time and messing about with to get it dead in the centre of the shaft ) once i had this done i put the shaft in place, through the steel plate and into the casing. I then but the bush on the hydraulic motors shaft and placed this into the sprocket and tightened them both together using the two grub screws.

Next i measured the distance between the hydraulic motor and the steel plate and cut two pieces of box iron to fit and tightened it all together with two bolts as you can see in the picture above

if this was helpful in any way then please share thankyou

This valve is adjustable and is used to block pressure to a certain setting in the 2 ports of an actuator/hydraulic motor. I used this

because the tractor i was using to run the firewood processor was putting out a bigger PSI than the hydraulic motor was rated for

Firewood processor

2011-01-19T10:00:00.000-08:00

A firewood processor is a probably the best way for making firewood fast. They are great at splitting it safely and quickly. A firewood processor is usually aimed for those in the firewood producing business but allot of people have found them to be a use full machine to have for there own personal use, especially if they burn allot of firewood themselves.

With fuel prices always increasing, many homes and businesses are Turing to firewood to heat there property. Many properties are replacing there old heating system with a wood burning system this could be due to environmental concerns but for many it is due to the cost, that they turn to firewood as there heat source.

This has lead to a great demand for firewood and allot of firewood producing businesses have appeared to meat this demand. For these businesses a firewood processor is usually a must have item. This is because they are a extremely use full machine and take allot of the hard work out of producing firewood.

Sum of the benefits of a firewood processor

1 A firewood processor speeds up the production of firewood, these machines usually have the ability depending on the model to process large and small logs quickly and easily and turn it into suitable firewood pieces very fast.

2 A second benefit of using a firewood processor is precision, a firewood processor usually has an adjustable log stop, this sets the desired length of the firewood to be made. This makes the firewood a uniform length and is usually handier for packing into small bags for sale. A firewood processor also usually has an adjustable wedge. this splits the logs into different size pieces for eg into four, six, or maybe eight pieces depending on the size of pieces desired.

3 A third benefit is manpower. With out a firewood processor many men were usually needed to produce firewood commercially but with a firewood processor usually only one man is needed to operate the firewood processor safely and it produces the same amount of firewood. This cuts down on man hours and saves on the wages or frees up staff so that they can do other duties like sales or deliveries.

4 A firewood processor usually depending on model have a firewood conveyor built on them. This is used to convey the firewood which has been split away from the splitter and into for eg a trailer. This is very handy an saves allot of time and labour afterwards hand balling the firewood pieces into a trailer.

Choosing a Firewood processor

To assist with this growing need for producing firewood there are allot of processors on the market, so there are a hole range of firewood processors to chose from both for the domestic user and for those making a living from firewood.

Depending on your need and budget will probably help you cut down your choice a bit

Different firewood processor models vary regarding their capacity to cut wood and length and their output. Most middle of the range processors will cut 1 cord an hour however, it pays to check each models specification and decide what you need. Larger models tend to have better production outputs and times.

how much is firewood

2011-01-01T14:41:00.000-08:00

1   How much is firewood 2011 and what price should i be paying? To answer this wee need to look at the quantity or amount of firewood your are buying because the more you are buying the cheaper it is likely to be and this is nearly always the same for anything.

2   What way is it supplied? Buying net bags of firewood logs is usually going to be dearer than buying a truck load of the same amount of firewood! this is because the supplier has to take into account the price of the net bags and the time and labour it took to fill the bag. Whereas a truck load is easier filled and they don't have the price of the net bags to include in it.

3   What kind of firewood is it? What kind of firewood it is you are buying will affect the price allot. Is it hardwood? like oak, ash beach or is it softwood? like pine, Douglas fir etc. Generally hardwood firewood will cost more than softwood as it burns longer and puts out more heat and is a slower growing wood. So this is another thing you will have to take into account.

4    Is it green firewood or seasoned? Seasoned firewood burns better as it is dryer so it will usually be dearer as it takes the supplier more work, storage and time to get it to this stage

5   Wear abouts do you live? Your location and what part of the world you are in will also affect the price of the firewood. So you will have to check out the price in your local area to find out if you are getting a good deal.

Hopefully this answered some of your questions on how much is firewood!

firewood

2011-01-01T12:23:00.000-08:00

Firewood is the oldest and cleanest fuel for heating and cooking known to man. It has been used since the dawn of history and is still used throughout the world today and is still one of the most
important and one of the cleanest from an environmental view! Its use is growing each year and is probably more popular now than ever before.

Firewood is a renewable resource and in the UK is mostly produced as a by-product of other activities. Eg. Forestry, Land Development, and Agricultural Operations. Environmentally it is a clean fuel. It does not add to the "Greenhouse Effect" like fossil fuels eg oil, coal, etc. as any carbon dioxide released by burning is less than the tree used in growing and would have been released anyway during decomposition.

Chord of firewood

2011-01-01T10:55:00.000-08:00

How much is a chord of firewood?
Knowing how much a cord of firewood is and what it is Will help you decide if you are getting value for money from your firewood supplier
