Olive/Carob for burning!
Looking for a new and dependable supplier of the above for winter wood. Any suggestions as I do not want mixed loads of wood with fruit and pine mixed into them?

Hi Waddo
Some of our customers tell us its cheaper to buy and burn pallets as logs prices are getting quite high,i do not know about that as i use Air Con,but we do sell lots of pallets,maybe someone has a comparison of burning 1 pallet and weight to logs same weight, would anyone have such a comparison

I think our pallets are 12 to 15 kg,depending if Euro or CHEP

Re: Olive/Carob for burning!
Pallets are good for open fires but for wood stoves they tend to tar/soot up the chimney so I avoid them and any other softwoods whenever possible. That is personal choice because some wood stove owners - mainly those with bigger chimneys - will burn anything - lol. Thanks for the thought through.

Re: Olive/Carob for burning!
I've used the same wood supplier for at least 10 years and in the early years the loads included olive and carob. Over the last couple of years my supplier has found it increasingly difficult to source better quality timber...truthfully this years was mainly citrus and pine. If you can source it There is nondoubt it will be expensive !!

There are quite a few hard dense wooden Country leaders that could do with a good long burning! Cost of success, priceless!!

Bought Olive at the end of summer, it was 50% more than a mixed load. Was it worth it NO !!
Never again, just buy Mixed rubbish, on a log burner it's wood and it burns.
