Wood Hooters And Turkey Houses
An experiment in heating I
turkey growing houses with
wood-burning hooters is
taking place near Sarecta at
Wood row Jackson's farm.
Laurie Jackson, Woodrow's
son. said they have saved
enough money during the
test to pay for the wood if
they had to buy it at S80 a
cord plus enough to pay for
one of the Fisher heaters.
However, he added, that
for a large operation such as
theirs to make good use of
the wood heat, additional
labor would have to be added
to fire the heaters. A smaller
operation could easily justify
the heaters, he added.
The experiment began
several weeks ago with the
cooperation of S&W Stove
? .y - . *'? ; : .
Company of Pink HUI who C
furnished the wood-fired ?
Fisher heaters, the Jacksons, u
Snodie Wilson of the DupKn i<
Agricultural Extension h
office, and N.C. State Uni- n
versity. tl
Two houses were set up,
one with four heaters, and t
one with three. The propane |
gas fired brooders were used u
whdh the poults were first t
put into the houses. As the f
poults grew, the gas heat J
was reduced and the wood
heat was added. The wood
was hauled into the houses
before the young poults ar
rived. Sherwood Jackson
said it took about a cord of
wood per heater for each
house. Each heater was
stoked every eight hours.
?' ?*.
rreen hardwood such as oak
ras used for fuel. Pine was
sed some, but was found to
save too riltith ash. The
eaters using hardwood did
lot need cleaning out. but
hose using pine did.
The Jack sons have four
wooding houses. Two of the
louses used gas and two
ised gas and wood in the
est. Jackson said the gas
ired houses used about
>1,000 worih of gas. The
?i
house with three wood
heaters supplementing the
gas used only $700 in gas.
The house with four heaters
used $600. This is over the
five-week period in which the
houses are heated.
He said the young poults
would gather or hover
around the wood heaters, but
would not fly up on them as
was first feared.
Snodie Wilson stated a
wood peletizing plant is
being built near Sanford. He
believes the use of wood
pellets with an automatic
auger might eliminate the
extra labor needed for wood
firing. More testing will be
needed to obtain the neces
sary information for a
general recommendation, in
any case, Wilson added.
The Jackson family has 12
turkey houses ? four for
brooding, and eight for
finishing birds. They handle
about 2(X),(XX) turkeys a year.
