MC Chip £25/m/t is your bottom end product. As yet processor Larch / Douglas isn't more expensive. That's my "fuel-rod" of choice these days.

 

Hardwood oversize £35/t

Hardwood processor £40-45/t

 

Plus haulage at £10-15/t.

 

Wouldn't pay a penny more myself.

 

That's what we pay, maybe £5 more. Average delivered in this year has been £57 and we sell out delivered at £67 per cube for 1.8cube or about 120 per ton which is tight but fine for us.

That's effing nuts.

 

Time for the idiot public to wake up and see the virtues of softwood. £35 a tonne delivered here for semi seasoned stock. Goes through the processor twice as quickly and dries in half the time too.

 

 

£45/50 a ton softwood around here at the moment. The biomass plant in port talbot has gone bust so hopefully it will start dropping again as they were taking anything and everything.

At £60 a ton, all costs considered per loose cubic metre delivered to the customers door isn't much over £50. If your selling it around £90/95 . Take away the VAT and you've got yourself about £30 a cube profit, £120 for kiln dried will get you £55 so there's money in firewood, You've just got to do the volume.

And here in lays the problem, IMO.

 

Six years ago I was paying £35-£45 delivered in, £150/1.6m3. Going out.

 

If it pays for you no one can argue mind.

Just out of interest GHD why do you sell it so cheap?

 

To be honest until I joined this forum I didn't consider it cheap, it's the average price around here and when we put the price up by more than £5 we loose a lot of sales for the next month.

 

I think because we're in a rural area most of our customers always have the option of cutting their own for free and there's plenty of competition around.

 

In the end we price what we need to cover costs not as much as we can get away with which I know I'd want as a customer. :)
