"people will have to buy dry wood"
That seems very unenforceable because the evidence will literally go up in smoke.
Only a fool would put unseasoned logs in their wood burning stove anyway.
People burning old pallets are nothing, maybe they'll learn that decent logs are far better for generating heat than old pallets but somehow I doubt it. |

A lot of my time in my old job was taken up dealing with this crap. I had a client once where it turned out he was paying bills on his neighbours meter and vice versa, he got a shock when it was sorted given he was basically at home ninety percent of the time with his heating turned up to the max. His neighbour was chuffed though but i never found out if they got back all the money they'd been over charged. |
Thinks: I wonder how many folk will be tempted to bypass their meters this winter.. Only possible with a thicko meter I guess. If you do it right with a big enough switch you can run it alternate days so you still record some usage. ____________________ Now: A100, GT250A, XJ598, FZ750

The industry knew about this two years ago. The Air Quality Regulations 2020 made it an offence to sell 'wet wood' i.e. that containing more than 20% water from 1st May onwards. Big wood yards have had to install burners and drying facilities so they can process the wood all year long, plus undercover storage areas so they can store it before and after drying, in order to achieve a steady flow of product.
All the wood people buy from B&Q, garages, coal merchants etc is 'dry wood' for this reason. ____________________ Now - Speed Triple, old ratty GS550, GSXR750M

Not now we're out of Europe and a lot of the eastern europeans have scarpered. I had a client whos electric meter had been blown up pbecause some polish guy he'd got involved in with bolloxed up trying to fiddle it. When i spoke with the guy fitting the replacement meter he said most of the fiddled meters were done by eastern europeans. |
So what you're saying is that it should be possible now that we're not relying on eastern europeans to do it for us? ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017
