The best firewood warms you twice, once when cutting, twice when burning, love these videos Clegg, watch out for sharps in them rubbish bags,well done for tidying up,keep on going .
Good for you out cleaning up the woods and green spaces!! Foraging for wood is great exercise. We've been heating with wood for over 40 years and know well the adventure of wood foraging, cutting, and stacking! I'm begging my husband to build me a wood hovel for all of the little sticks and twigs that are lying on the forest floor. Keep up the good work, and thank you for taking us along on your adventures!🙏
Hi Cleggy, Bahco do different blades for their excellent bow saws, one for green wood and one for dry, useful as a gardener to have both in your armoury if you haven't already. Right one makes it even quicker
Hang in there, Cleggy, I'm sure getting firewood stacked up is hard work but I hope it gives you some good sleep at night. Could you put a heavy kettle on the top of the stove and make a stew or soup?
Handy tip maybe, I've found that placing a cut log in an upright position takes longer to burn. Speshly a nice hard wood. Good on you for dealing with some other degenerates rubbish Cleggy. 👍
Sorry to hear of the death of your Dad I lost mine when I was 35 years old. Always hard around the major Holidays to remind you. Stay well you and Dad are in my prayers. Al, NJ, USA
Hey, Cleggy those fire boxes are great, we boil our kettle and pasta water all the time atop ours, saves us heaps on fuel payments in winter. Take care and cheers from down under.
Hope your doing ok Welly Cleggy that fire looks very cozy miss a real fire.Those wellies need replacing by the looks maybe ill have to send u a pair lol
I dispose of my ashes by feeding our fruit trees. 1 or 2 mugs worth per tree. Then I scatter some of the ashes around the fruit trees. And the remainder I scatter on mossy parts of the garden.. so maybe feed some of the hedgerows fruit trees.
Pot ash isn't a fertiliser as such it's used to reduce the acidity of certain soil types. It's useful where I Live in Scotland where the peaty soil has a high PH.
Most people do not know but branches are a very tight grain and therefore burn hot and make great coals. This is what the WEFers have done to the average person, they have to chose whether to Heat or Eat, so most people have a cold house in the city but at least the country people can always stay warm foraging for firewood. That must really "Burn" Starmer up that you are independent of his rule....heat wise. Cheers and sorry about your dad.
Thanks mate, yesterday I felt compelled to block someone because they started ranting and raving that I was destroying habitats for bugs like they were a Dying out species. There are over 500,000 miles just around Farmland in the UK, and I don't think collecting a few branches it's going to make much of a difference. Anyway, I did seek permission before doing this a few years ago, and I guess I'm going to have to reiterate that in my next video. That the local authorities, we're happy that I was clearing up the Fallen branches from kids playing with them on the fields around the hedgehogs. That they would repeatedly have to get out of their mini tractors, wasting valuable work time, to dispose of these branches in nearby Hedges and let's not forget the insane push for net-zero there are probably some other regulations revolving around that. No, if anyone tries to contest this, I'll be straight on the blower to Talk Radio and Nigel Farage.
Cleggy, to clean the glass, get a damp cloth, dip it in the fine wood ash, and work it on the burnt parts, the fine wood ash is ideal as it has a very fine grit value so it won't scratch the glass. Once you get the worst off and keep doing it it will stay fairly clear and reflect more heat. Also, get yourself a cheap whistling camping kettle and put three or four of your toasted Georgian coins on top of the stove then put the kettle with water in it on the coins, you will have constant free hot water for teas and drinks and washing up. It never comes to the boil, but it's ideal for drinks.
Craig, the wood stove is a wonderful invention. I used a cast iron Vermont Casting for years when my back was not as bad as it is now. I too loved to burn Wild Cherry. He heat was great and it also had a good smell. Red and White Oak was also a favorite. Maple was OK but didn't burn very long. I saw something on your stove that gives me concerns. At the wall where the stove pipe enters the wall and then into your chimney, do you have fire proofing surrounding this area? In my first home I had a similar arrangement. What I didn't know, the builder cut corners and did not have fire proofing around the thimble going into the chimney. About a year after I moved in my kitchen caught fire which was where my wood stove was located. What had happened was the stove pipe leading into the thimble generated some high heat causing the thimble to cracked open. This allowed the heat and sparks going into the chimney to escape and ignite the 2 by 4's and insulation. Thankfully the fire department was able to put it out before much damage could happen. This was back in the 1970's, so there were no smoke detectors. We were home but not sleeping so we were spared. Please be sure you are safe with this hook up. God bless, Tom
you should keep this to your self free wood is hard to come by in tesco i see a large bag of fire wood for 18 pounds its daylight robbery and the average price is 8 to ten for a bag that wont last a night
Hi clegg Please make sure its free of wild life before burning Also that piece of land has given you free wood So in return I hope you removed the bags of rubbish John .s Manchester
Hi Phil, are you still a member of my Patreon page? I've got a few nice coins that I will be selling, and hopefully I'll be able to survive with the 4 to £5000 pounds they are worth. I was keeping them for a rainy day, and I guess this is a rainy day.
@@WestCountryClegg yes still a member Craig ,is there a donation link on there ? Well done mate , yeah time's are hard for you , and at this time of year it can make it very difficult , Great that you have a contingency , but still sad you have to sell them , ATB Phil
A nice lot of wood clergy should keep you going for some days as we might have some bad weather next week you would be able to cook a nice stew in a saucepan on that firetop and save you some cash.🪵👍😁
The best firewood warms you twice, once when cutting, twice when burning, love these videos Clegg, watch out for sharps in them rubbish bags,well done for tidying up,keep on going .

I hope so too

Good on you for dealing with some other degenerates rubbish Cleggy. 👍
Thanks Mate
I use Vaseline on cotton wool to light my log burner and I light if from the top to stop it smoking before it gets going properly 👍
I've seen people use Vaseline and Cotton on Bushcraft type videos
Well done clergy
Thanks John 👍

He's still alive but has been given days 😞
Nice job, cleggy. Cleaning up the countryside as well. Top man. Cheers and take care.
Hey, Cleggy those fire boxes are great, we boil our kettle and pasta water all the time atop ours, saves us heaps on fuel payments in winter. Take care and cheers from down under.
Good tip!
you could still cook on your wood burner just use a stove wind shield 👍
Good tip!
Keep glass clean to allow reflective heat every bit helps
Good tip!
To clean the window: wet a rag, dip it in the ash and rub the window. Works great. I've done it on a cold and warm window. Never tried hot.
Great tip!
Hope your doing ok Welly Cleggy that fire looks very cozy miss a real fire.Those wellies need replacing by the looks maybe ill have to send u a pair lol
Thanks Robert 👍

Thanks brov, I've got a customer who flicks her ash from a cigarette on the same part of the lawn every time and that part of the lawn is dark green

If you mix some of the ash with water into a paste it’s great for cleaning the fire glass 👍
Great tip!
you can clean that window cold. i rub it with a slightly wet newspaper and some potash, works fine and fast.
Great tip!
My retired doctor tells me burning wood warms you up 3 times ! One when you cut the tree, two when you split the logs and three when you burn it 😉
Good to know!
your ash pan if you cut the back wall of you can use it as a shovel mate
a lot better when the chimneys in the house all that heat going outside
Still warm though

Cleg just empty the tray, the layer of ash the wood sits on will insulate it and burn better.
Get yourself a nice stump to split wood on too 👍🏻
Thanks for the tip!

He said he was taking it home! Why do people have to have a little dig! He is a very caring man!
Mate. Take out that ash can, take out the grate. Wood burns better in and on its own ash, burns more economically and more efficient, end of!
Thanks 👍
Your welcome.
