It's about 35ft by 20ft by 8ft, half has been outdoor seasoned for 2 yrs, the rest from 2yrs-recently cut. Various hardwood, mainly ash, syc, cherry, oak, elm

various lengths and widths. taking up way too much space in the yard and we don't sell nearly enough firewood to warrant keeping it all.

corner of transit for scale :biggrin:

the nicest stuff delivered to your door is £40 per ton, so take it from there.

 

 

ok, is there a rough guide to the weight of unsplit cordwood stuff, per m3 ?

 

i like how you said the 'nicest stuff', as if talking about other wood :biggrin:

it is a bit of a crappy pile, but not the worst, i.e. none of it is rotten

From the pile dimensions on my bulk cord deliveries I'd estimate you have around 30 - 35 tons sitting there. With the small chunks of wood it's going to have to be moved on a ridgid 2 or 3 loads. If it was my pile I'd look for £800 and leave the logistics of movement to the buyer as a part filled 3rd load would bump up the average freight cost. Good luck.

This should be brilliant fun, let's see how many people actually have any idea what this weighs! A prize for the winner, & a prize for the most far off (I think we have a winner) :)

 

I guess lindisfarne is being helpful as usual and offering up a bag of charcoal to the winner.
