What strange weather we are having, swinging from extra low -7 deg C to a positively balmy 11 deg C.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately our local skiing hasn’t really got going at all this year, with a few patchy days on a couple of runs.<\/p>\n

Today, I wanted to pick up on a comment made on our Trustpilot reviews<\/a><\/strong><\/span>, and that I have heard occasionally before:<\/p>\n

Why are there short logs in the firewood packs?(Not true of the hand selected small nets<\/a><\/span>)<\/strong><\/p>\n

The answer to this is that at the end of every nominally 3.0 metre length of input timber, the sizes don’t work out.<\/p>\n

Because of variation in the forestry machine and in the amount removed in each cut on our machine there is an uneven last log.<\/p>\n

We have to make a decision on the fly on the machine at this point for every input log processed.<\/p>\n

See the graphic, we have 3 options. Obviously the extra-long log would be a problem for many, so we opt for one of the other 2 options, depending on the dimensions involved.<\/p>\n

This happens approximately every 12 cuts, so approx 1\/12 of the pack with have a non-uniform length. If we’ve done our job right, you won’t even notice many of them. But depending on dimensions, short logs will appear.<\/p>\n

There is nothing we can do about this, and of course these logs can be utilised perfectly well in your fire or stove (as starter logs for example).<\/p>\n

As an additional point, sometimes if the last log is really short, we won’t split it down further, so you may find full firewood disks (keeping well within max. dimensions).<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
