It burns if it's dry! Dry it properly and sell mixed hardwood/softwood loads. We used to sell shed loads of mixed loads but the price of softwood around here is about the same as hardwood so we don't bother anymore.

Log it and sell it! Attitudes towards burning softwood are changing (for the better!)

Wow.

Whats a tonne of 3m chip costing you?

It's the demand from biomass driving up the price of small softwood.

I had quotes of £45+vat last year! I think it's come down to £35/40 now but still a far cry from £15/20 I was paying from the same supplier 2 years ago!

Lime, Pop and Willow are all hardwoods, Yew is my favourite firewood and is actually a softwood

Is this chip dry? A mate of mine makes eco logs from sawdust etc and needs a reliable supply!

Burn them myself and sell the hardwood. Found so much resistance to anything other than best hardwood. I have been trying to sell softwood for 30% less than the hardwood and it does not budge but the hardwood sells itself.
