That’s the way to do it Jay! When I have the man power on the job site, anything an 1 1/2” or larger gets (cleaned up) limbed off and gets loaded in the triaxle dump with the rest. If I don’t have the help, I lawns it through the chipper with the excavator and grapple. It really doesn’t take much longer to fill the boiler with the sticks and works great when I’m home. I’ll just go out at noon and top it off. By evening you have an awesome coal bed that you can put soaking wet chunks on you normally wouldn’t want inside a gasifier.
Oh yeah brush burns great down into coals! Especially a nice hot large bonfire LOL You are like me you'll take anything thats burnable but not a waste of time to haul lol
I used an excavator to pull all the old stumps around the property...hosed them off, let them dry for the summer, and damn if those things don't cook and smolder forever. GREAT for those -30 deg days when you just don't want to go out and feed wood into the boiler every hour. They do have to be dry though, any residual moisture and the just smoke.
Rather than turning those coals into ash, look into Biochar, where you quench the coals with water and recover the fine char (aka Terra Preta). Great as a soil conditioner & matrix for earth biomes.
We just got hit with another 12" of snow so far. It's just starting to snow again. "Winter" in April. Lovely. Lovely. More snow in the last 30 days than the entire winter.

Hey Pat! Yes indeed always thinking lol
That's awesome. I would be doing the same thing if I had a boiler.
Indeed!

I can hear the snow dripping off the roof now we got about 8 inches which was ridiculous haha everything is soaked
The real definition of using 110% of the tree
For sure!
That count as recycling? Scoop w tractor and shovel into boiler. Owww crap, these are cloth gloves not leather 😅😅
HAHA hot hands lol
More smoke come threw the door , hey do your chimney work ? 😮
Thats how these units are. Design flaw but no big deal!
CL604a? New to channel. Why not put that in the description? I understand not title
CL 6048 classic
Apologies!
Why didn't you burn it in the boiler in the first place? I guess I don't see the point in burning a pile of perfectly good wood on the ground
The pieces were 10ft long lol didn't wanna screw with that, Easier to burn in a pile
Nothing wrong with that.
does not take much to amuse you man
No it doesn’t lol
