Posted By: GBP-Keith- can firewood become too dry?
Posted By: crusoemike7 - there must be some downside or they wouldn't recommend 'around' 20% as optimum. That figure has been a constant since I started fitting woodstoves (first wave) in 1978. Caveats as above.

nigel: Your comments are spot-on IMO with new build or easily-upgradeable housing, insulation-wise. Spot the recent threads on listed building though - with older/non-changeable buildings would you still not fit pellets because you were not allowed to insulate to any appreciable degree??http:///forum114/extensions/Vanillacons/smilies/standard/confused.gif" alt="

Posted By: BeauI have never heard of a log being to dry in fact the chance would be a fine thing. I have burnt off-cuts from my furniture business that were down to 8% and they burned great. I think 20-25% is a good target for anyone drying logs in the west of Britain, I know we can't get our logs bellow 20% however many years we dry them but we do live on the west side of Dartmoor. Out of interest what is the current price for wood pellets? as the last time I did some sums pellets were cheaper by the tonne than the firewood we sell" alt="
