Only when walking between the shed & the house. Only felt like - 3C out of the wind inside the shed! Enough to make the fingers not want to do what I wanted them to do. Not an ideal situation for using a table saw! Still have them (fingers) all though!Quote:

I'll give you $15 for a trailer load every time you go, $17 if you bring it to my house!

Far out mate, your fireplace must be more efficient than mine. I go through a trailer load every two weeks...lolQuote:

Mum's boss has a huge property with dozens of fallen trees, all stacked up with his excavator... roll one off and cut it up. I need to go back there!
Ute and big trailer =]Quote:

I reckon a smaller coonara in good condition properly sealed is very efficient.
I've only gone through 2m3 this winter.
My brother has a massive wood heater and he has smashed the wood.
My other friend has a dodgy seal and has also smashed triple my consumption.
mmmmmm I thought your heater was pretty good thinking that you loaded it up got it going and then shut it down and enjoy the heat of the evening till morning then load up again but then again you are always in minus below wich wont helpQuote:

I've got through about 8 and I don't think that is excessive at all.
Do you keep yours going 24/7?

I have fairly new insulation in the house so it does get shut off on low during the day to simmer...lolQuote:

Luckily enough the fireplace does it with ease but hungry...lol
I'm trying these cow pats too :)
Any idea how many tons it is??Quote:

Yeah that is a huge difference mate, your heat is vanishing and you are only feeling the immediate heat from fire.Quote:

The house does not see any sunshine during the day either because we have big trees right around. Nice and cool in summer though!
Dunno what people call
good wood to burn. All of
the trees we planted are
native. If it drops a limb
or falls over, it gets
cut and split. Warmth is
warmth as far as I'm
concerned.
Rental home, now your talking...Quote:

Forgot to post the little beauty i scored the other day. Bit rusty but nothing a good fire wont fix. Looks like two and half 9kg gas bottleshttp://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...015/07/121.jpg
..........on the move
We're tearing through the firewood at work. We had a 25 tonne load come in this morning, which will all be gone by Thursday arvo, ready for the next load on Friday morning.
Keeps me out of trouble, I guess.
How many heaters are you running?Quote:

We run 2 fires 24/7 and another 2 on weekends. Go out once a month and fill the car trailer until the springs are straight with 10 foot logs. Local wood is rubbish which is why we drive 3 hours to get it. Still works out cheaper than buying it.
We'll be filling the ute from Licola next weekend.
