1 Cubic metre split log price.

Selling mine in .25 cube barrow bags this year. Probably .3 when full and stretched. It’s a take it or leave it situation but so far I’ve only had one old customer refuse. Easy to load, get 8 on the truck, bags have a lid etc, no mess all easy. ?

That's a beast of a trailer ?. If I were you I'd get some builders bags, put 1 in the trailer then fill it up, youd prob fit another bag in the back of the connect too. You could then post in the overloaded thread too ??. I checked my local supplier the other day, they are advertising 90x90x90 bag of oak for £150! Kiln dried right enough.

It's funny and depressing at the same time. It's like offering someone 10 apples for £1.50 or 2 apples for £0.50 and them opting to take the 2 apple offer. Basic arithmetic is lost on most people.

So true. I sell less logs now than when I set up in tree work in 2001. Much happier to run my two stoves and log burning boiler for our own heating. I have a few longstanding log customers who order well ahead and will wait if need be.

New customers asking "how much is a ton of logs?" just don't get the idea when I explain I sell by volume. When they say they can't imagine what a cubic metre of logs looks like, I wonder how they know what a ton of logs looks like.

 

Aha, light bulb moment .... all the new owners of stoves (logburners as they love to call them) have read the Bear Grills manual on heating with logs, and have their own weighbridge built into the drive of their suburban semi.

 

OK, rant over.
