1 Cubic metre split log price.

I bet if you stacked it in that trailer you would be around the cubic meter loose give or take ?

Just under with the calculations I took. But would it be worth £100

Thanks for the advice I’ll take my time, I’m looking for a bigger trailer if you know anyone selling one.

I would sell in bags customers cannot grasp a cubic meter used to sell mine loose on a transit tipper which is 4 dumpy bags struggled at the time to get 150 a load put them in bags for 50 a bag couldn't chop them fast enough. I charge 60 a bag which holds about .5 of a cube. you would get a cheap little trailer to get a couple of bags on for a few hundred

Stick to the cubic meter sales if you want a better quality of customer. Builders bags and you are in to "whats your best price mate" brigade. Plenty out there who can tell the difference and we have found them to be a hassle free kind of customer.

Chatting to a mate yesterday who does a bit of firewood.
He told me he'd just visited a pub with two log burners.
My mate looks at the builders bags of dripping fresh felled and split logs.
"They are £5 a bag cheaper than you" pub man says.
"But my logs are dry" mate says.
"But it's cheaper" pub man.
My mate gets back in his van and drives off.

And he wonders why I only sell wholesale to one very clued up client.

Who was it who said that logs are selling the unprofitable to

the ungrateful?

 

Whoever it was, they were right.

I reckon if you made a foot high extension to that little trailer and heaped the load up a bit,you would be on the cube.

It would tip up by hand to empty as well.

Totally agree, this is one of the main reasons why we decided to bite the bullet and invest in an expensive biomass burning system, I’d rather spend the time and effort and financial outlay on producing heat for ourselves than quibbling with people on how expensive logs where, I’m sure people think there’s very little effort and expense in the process ,the 15k for the processing kit the 20k for the second hand loadall the packaging for the logs to conform with trading standards so the disgruntled customer knows what they’re getting and not just a pile of whatever dumped on they’re drive, the cost of the large steel framed log store, then explain the logs need manpower to be processed and transport and time to deliver! They’d not believe you.

One other issue to add to it is there’s an awful lot of people out there banging out logwood for beer money, the wood often doesn’t have the extra production cost of storage and drying time, ours does because we have to prove that the wood that we produce is to the BSL standard before it goes in to our system. It’s a very similar issue to tree work companies not investing in training, insurance, kit and compliance and others that do.
