I&#8217;ve got wood stored seemingly everywhere at the moment.\u00a0 All scrap or trees that people wanted felled.\u00a0 Two major sources of wood this year were from church and another one a late neighbour directly opposite.\u00a0 As we say in the book biomass is not the answer to Peak oil as far as space heating is concerned.\u00a0 In most countries (such as the UK) it could supplement other forms of heating for some people (which is what we do), or heat a relatively small number of houses individually or by district heating schemes.\u00a0 Our lounge is upstairs (with the wood-burner in) and the radiators in it are turned off or set to a very low level on the thermostatic valves.\u00a0 The valves in other rooms on this floor are set on progressively higher levels the further away you get.\u00a0 It reduced our gas bill massively, although there are complaints that the rest of the house is cold compared to the lounge (true &#8211; but only relatively most of the time).<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m getting better at stacking it, but this pile has fallen over twice!\u00a0 It sounded like an earthquake the last time.\u00a0 I assume as it dries the centre of gravity shifts.\u00a0 This year its Birch, Laurel and Leylandii (the latter is mixed as far as burning is concerned but it dries in weeks).\u00a0 I&#8217;ve never bought or run out of wood yet which shows how much is around in a city at the moment although as energy supplies tighten competition will intensify. This pile won&#8217;t last more than a few weeks (if the weathers really cold). It won&#8217;t be long before I start using it, the nights are getting colder.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_475\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theoillamp.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/DSC_0589.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-475\" class=\"wp-image-475 \" title=\"DSC_0589\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theoillamp.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/DSC_0589-300x245.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"245\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.theoillamp.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/DSC_0589-300x245.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.theoillamp.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/DSC_0589-1024x839.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-475\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Wood pile, this year I had the sense to cover the top and not the sides.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_476\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theoillamp.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/DSC_0593.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-476\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-476 \" title=\"DSC_0593\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theoillamp.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/DSC_0593-300x200.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.theoillamp.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/DSC_0593-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.theoillamp.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/DSC_0593-1024x685.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-476\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Same pile from inside.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Neil<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here is one of my wood piles.
