Capt Lightning, It's Homefire Ovals I have, I still call it coal though and we're lucky to have a coal merchant who delivers tipped sacks based just down the road, always reduced prices in summer.
Devonatheart, we had walnut and ash trees felled in the garden now well seasoned, sliced to size buy the workmen, I just have to split them as and when required. The homes around us had their fireplaces removed and modern systems installed but I stood my ground so any scrap wood ends up here.

Home being just a tiny bungalow with a small kitchen and no room for a dining table, plus my aversion to the festive season, I have the perfect excuse not to entertain family.

Starcraft, get those rings split as soon as you can, the longer you leave these hardwoods, even Ash, they turn into VERY hard wood when seasoned. Much easier to do right away. 👍

With you on the Xmas aversion, we just don’t get sucked in by it all.

Do they charge you extra to cut a tree up into 'slices'? And, is the 'loss' of the tree taken into account when they fell it? As in, they would be logging and flogging it as a bonus to felling, surely?
