Average weight of a full builders bag of logs?

[scarvell]

Suppliers I use work with weights, so knowing how heavy a builders bag is means I could work out exactly how much a bag would cost me if that makes any sense

Whilst I get your idea, I sense many troubles going down that route.

 

I assume you buy in cordwood and are trying to approximate cost ?.

 

It's firewood not a PhD thesis, if it is cordwood it's still wet weight.

Setting a price.. what do your potential competetors charge? and what units do they sell by? that will more than likely set your prices than a calculation based on the weight you buy, and the weight of dried wood you sell

We processed an artic load of cordwood, kept a count of how many bags and went from there.  I agree although competitors prices do dictate your sales price its useful to know what your cost is, bearing in mind it may vary a bit of course.

(If it helps from 30m3 of small/med cord we'd reckon on 60 bags)

Yeah in an ideal world I'd like to know at least a rough cost before buying but suppose I'll never know exactly until I've processed and bagged it all. Thanks all for your help anyway👍👍

NJA has the best idea of 60 bags, personally I'd subtract a few to give you a better idea.

 

Work your costing from 50/55 bags, but be close or the same price as the competition.

I have a similar issue to the OP's.

 

.....you see, I have this piece of string and I need to know how long it is. 😇

Measure it. The joke doesn't really work when you claim to be in possession of the piece of string of unknown length.

He knows now, perhaps he can finally tell us exactly how long a piece of string is?
