I sell a 1.2 cubic metre load of logs, approx. 300 logs for £80. My wife works for centre parcs and their chalets have woodburners and you buy your logs at their shop -£10 for 4.

Have I got my maths wrong? 300 divided by 4 = 75 multiplied by £10 = £750

Looks like I had it backwards when I tried doing 10+ for £4 last year. :)

 

On the plus side it looks like I should increasing our 1.8 cube load from £125 to £1250... Wish me luck

I do a lot of camping with my kids and iv seen this more and more In recent years. Alot of camp sites say no fires unless you hire thier chimea and buy their logs.

I always take my own and play dumb if I'm questioned about it. I refuse to buy from a camp site for this reason.

I think you are way too cheap at £80 for 1.2 cube personally (and it is this sort of pricing that keeps me well away from entering the firewood market). As for Centre Parcs - it's supply and demand. If people will pay it then why not sell it to them?! They are no doubt better off selling fewer logs at higher prices than knocking out hundreds of tonnes a week at little-to-no-profit.

When we went to center parks I just went out side the cabin early morning and collected a few dead branches, cut them up on the patio with my silky got the kids to stack them next to the fire[emoji23]
