City Firewood Supplies

Fark sounds like quite a few of us live in drafty houses. Mines EX-State, got good insulation but the windows might as well be open all the time and the landlord aint gonna replace them.
A box of those compressed saw dust logs usually lasts me 2 nights, those things burn forever. Anyone still burn coal?

I was going to say,,I bet you live on the north fucking shore,,,but then,,oh well.

Care to share where you live ay fuckstick? What the fuck is up with all those commas in your shit? End yourself...

Just pulled out the old Champion coal range. Chimney is knackered. Shame really, I've just heard rumour they may be re-opening the mines just up the road.

If their are any others reading this who are less than proficient with a chainsaw & axe or who just have soft hands & a low pain threshold have a look at these. The girlfriend put me onto them. I was very skeptical until they turned up. Takes less than 30 mins to do a good mtr3 of wood ready to burn without breaking sweat. Impressed I am. Not a plug just putting it out there. Soz for the hijack too. The splitter even goes through knotty, hard old Ti Tree stumps.

We got in 8m of wood in early April, and I only just finished stacking it yesterday. We may need to start on it next week as last years wood is down to about 1/2 m.

As usual the wood we bought this year was not dry when delivered, but having been outside for 2 months before I even started stacking it it is now well weathered, and the part that was stacked under cover 6 weeks ago is now well and truely dry.

Wood may be advertised as dry firewood, but it seldom is.

This is the only splitter I have left, I sold my good one a couple of years ago. I made the one on the back of the old fiat about 15yrs ago and it is still going strong. Gotta have firewood down here, most of the trees in this pic are gone now though, but still have 63 acres of pines and eucalytpts to go, so shouldnt run out.

Happened only once, three day's without power here about 5-6 years ago, we had a gas bottle heater and the, the hob still worked, just the heater wont work without the fan, some safety bullshit

Mains supply, not bottle. And not living in the lower north or upper south island helps with the natural disaster thing. May get the odd bit of flooding but we are up high so once again...

to natural disaster.

I do not miss stacking and chopping fricken wood.....at all.

I wish, thats my daughter about 10/11 years ago.

It,s coming maha. Wait until all those volcanos that you live on start letting go.

I love doing firewood, great exercise, and it keeps you warm while your cutting it, and some extra pocket money at times too.

....then watch the arse fall out of the property market in Auckland..I still wouldn't buy there

Had a Kent fire in Rotorua back in the day...never got a delivery of dry wood, even though that is what was paid for, it was always a mix of rata/pine wet'n dry

Not a lot of people selling dry wood these days unless it comes from a sawmill. Bit of a difference between a cubic meter and a thrown meter too, so thats another thing I would be looking at if you are buying wood. I can get 60mtr for pine/ mac mix down here, but 120mtr up the road in queenstown.,
