Going rate for olive logs
Going rate for olive logs
I use olive logs for heating in my casa in Alcaudete.
Anyone give me an idea what the going rate for 2000kg of olive logs is?
I have paid about 150 euro.
I got them from a little guy in the bar where the olive farmers tend to hang out.
Is there formal dealers / log merchants or is it all 'Find a man'.

Yep.
Already made the mistake of getting half a load of wet root with some pine logs mixed in, the pine wood burnt so fast I thought I was head stoker on a steam train.
When I started burning the root I thought it smelt great but when I got up next morning and all the tar / sap had ozzed out of the flue joints and the house smelt like it had just been crearsoted I realised wet olive root is not a good fuel.

Gonig rate for olive logs
better off burning a mixture of almond and gum tree
In Alcaudete we have olive trees, olive trees and then some olive trees.
The only other wood is the occasional broken pallet laying on the roadside at the industrial estate or an occasional bow from a pine tree.
On a more seroius note has anyone gone for solar energy, water / electricity or this thermal enery where they take the heat from the ground?
