The Fuelwood open weekend was set amongst 29 acres of beautiful woodland. The Claywood site hosted an open weekend for the first time, and the setting could not have been more appropriate. Based along a peaceful track through the centre of the pine woodland at the heart of the Fuelwood business, the machines could be demonstrated in all their glory.

Starting at the top of the wood, the machines were set out on both sides of the track, the Heizohack HM8-500-K Chipper being the first to greet the customers, this chipper having a Mowi 400 crane fitted to the rear section.

Walking down through the wood, the machines were displayed to their optimum, amongst woodpiles and a variety of logs. Next was a display of the various types of Woodline log splitters vertical and horizontal machines. Walking on next to the new Japa 450 machine - this being its UK launch. This new processor cuts a massive 18" diameter log, plus then an extensive display of all the Japa firewood processors the 100, 300, 370, 375 and 700 machines. Running up and down keeping the processors well stocked was the Mowi Skog 75 trailer crane combination.

Set in the wood demonstrating its flexibility and accuracy was the Lucas Mill 830, planking up a beautiful piece of timber. Also in the wood demonstrating a small forestry skidder was Kenny Dobson of Forest Machine Services. Kenny is also a dealer for Fuelwood machinery in the North East of England.

It was clear from first arriving that the Fuelwood staff had worked extremely hard to make the open day an enjoyable experience for the customers. The products had been moved from the workshop to the wood, in order to allow the customers time and space to look at the machines.

Throughout the two days, the staff worked tirelessly, talking, demonstrating and reassuring visitors to the open day. Comments from the customers reinforced this feeling, as they felt valued by the amount of time the staff could spend with them.

It was very clear how dedicated the staff are to Fuelwood and you could feel the pride that they have about their own products. The demonstrating staff clearly enjoy using the machines, as much as they enjoy demonstrating them!

Another testament to the Fuelwood team is their breadth of associates who are always willing to help on these occasions. They are an excellent asset as they use the Fuelwood products for their own businesses and are keen to share their positive experiences with prospective customers.

Also in attendance was Doug Beattie of Farm and Forestry Inverness, a dealer of Fuelwood's who made the journey to support the Open Day, as did Fuelwood's new dealer in France Mr Olivier L'Ecu of BLC Sarl.

Maurice Wilson, of Bag Supplies, set up his stall with a range of nets and bags a found the whole day enjoyable and complete success.

Along side the demonstrators are the enthusiastic office team. Not only are they there to give help and information, but obviously spent a lot of time preparing the refreshments for the days. The delicious homemade sandwiches were a welcome snack for hungry visitors, and all the money donated for them will be heading straight for the British Heart Foundation.

Final comment of the day from one of the visitors saying he found the day like a 'slimming exercise' he'd shed pounds,
waving his cheque book, with a smile.

Brillant APF

The show was a tremendous success. We had over 30 machines working and processed 70 tons of timber during the show. The design of the stand was such that each machine could be demonstrated individually. This benefited the potential customer showing exactly what the machinery was capable of.

We re-launched our own manufacture Firewood Processor,Transaw 350, with faster production and sales already in all four corners of the UK and in Canada.

New to the show was our latest machine Kindlet Pro. Kindlet Pro produces 20cm, 25cm and 30cm long Kindling from the same machine; the longer lengths a requirement for Europe and North America / Canada.

We also had the benefit of our suppliers from Heizohack, Mowi, Logosol and Mercia Energy. We were particularly excited with the Heizohack Lorry Chipper driven to the show direct from Germany. The Chipper had an impressive chip production and the chips went to a nearby Woodchip Boiler Installation.

Also on demonstration was the Heizohack Tracked Chipper a specialised conversion by Homegrown Timber (Rail) Division.
We were very encouraged by the positive response of the visitors and their need for machinery.

I personally would like to thank the hard work from all of my staff and helpers, some 28 throughout the show time, and also the many APF helpers who made the show run like clockwork - well done everyone.


New Kindlet Pro launched at APF

Fuelwood were delighted with the reaction of customers following the launch of their new kindling machine - the Kindlet Pro.

The first prototype attracting lots of interest particularly from overseas visitors.

The launch of Kindlet Pro is a result of customer feedback - designed to meet the needs of markets looking for longer kindling sticks. The machine can produce upto 12" (300mm) long kindling from offcuts and round timber.

Orders are now been taken for the machine, with production deliveries commencing in Spring 2009.
