I'm a Lumberjack and .....



With all that wood on the roof its time to get the first lot of heat out of it. So with the chainsaw serviced and the blades sharpened lets get cutting.....

They say that you get two lots of heat out of wood . Once when you cut it up and then the second lot of heat is when you burn it. So after sawing it with the chainsaw its out with the Axe and chopping it up into logs.
                                                                                                                            
Carolyn then gets it all loaded onto the roof.
 
Then finally the second lot of heat from the wood, burning away in our stove and keeping us nice and toasty
 
Happy Days

    Properly seasoned wood gives more heat. Need to store it for at least 6 months, but will you need a fire in June? Enjoy.

      Hi Jack. As you say it needs to be seasoned , but it's Ash which they say can be burnt green . Although this does burn very hot. The downside is that we tend to get a lot of tar running down the chimney and onto the paintwork. I suppose it's free heat so it's worth putting up with a bit of tar which I then have to scrub off...Gary
