Heavy Beech.
That was one of the loads of Beech which keep James and myself busy Sunday morning, not the right suspension for heavy loads.

Getting through the stocks of wood as it starts to get colder.

Wood burner is glowing nicely.

Got a good supply of well seasoned wood which requires little work on my part Thumbs Up

I've got about a ton sitting in Edinburgh after a large beech tree blew down in the December gales. The stihl chainsaw has seen considerable action.

It'll sit in Edinburgh for a while, until I get the trailer on the Defender to haul it up to Aviemore...no rush - this is next year's wood Thumbs Up

AJS4x4 - nicely split - I guess you have a hydraulic splitter?

I know what you mean about the suspension, I looked into getting helpers for it. Amazing how much you can get in the back with an Ifor on though.

When one’s listing the pros and cons of owning a Defender - and there are many of each - the number one of the pros is often overlooked: whatever you can physically get in one, it’ll carry, and whatever you can hitch up behind it, it’ll tow…

Beechwood fires are bright and clear
If the logs are kept a year
Oaken logs burn steadily
If the wood be old and dry
But ash dry or ash green
Makes a fire fit for a queen

Logs of birchwood burn too fast
There's a fire that will not last
Chestnut's only good they say
If for long it's laid away
But ash new or ash old
Is fit for queen with crown of gold

Poplar makes a bitter smoke
Fills your eyes and makes you choke
It is by the Irish said
Hawthorn makes the sweetest bread
But ash green or ash brown
Is fit for queen with golden crown

Elmwood burns with a churchyard mould
E'en the very flames are cold
Apple logs will fill your room
With an incense like perfume
But ash wet or ash dry
For a queen to warm her slippers by
