Are you guys still shifting Firewood?

Hows everyone doing with the firewood at the minute?

 

My trade is still as consistant as mid November but the other chap who does firewood on the farm said today that his business has slowed right up over last 2 weeks?! Gonna try do 5 pick up loads tomorrow so i can have first sunday off in Jan!!

 

Anyone run out of wood?!

 

Who is buying extra for next winter?!

I am doing 3 loads tomorrow. Ran out just after christmas. Then i gave people samples of conifer (free), not one person was dissatisfied. Ive ordered an arctic load of ash & oak ready for next year. Just had a couple of canter loads of beech delivered (sadly green).

All i have left is sold, Loadestogo at for next year as it is and more to come, there again i dont buy it in so its a bonus for me.

What tractor you running the Palax on ?

went mad during the snow slowed last two weeks. I never advertised this year as we did not get the volume processed in the summer ( to busy else where ) Would like to go hard at it this summer but not sure if we have had two unusually good winters for firewood. Next winter could be mild and over supplied by people out of work ???
