How much softwood do you sell?

[dave28]

I'd like to expand my firewood business next year and was hoping to start offering softwood loads of larch, douglas or scots that I would be able to buy standing at about half the price of standing hardwood.Wondered how many on here are selling it and how much cheaper than hardwood.Thanks

hi we now offer softwood with our buisness and a lot of people are going onto it, we sell it for £60 on a ford ranger or £70 mixed with hardwood, then we sell ranger full of hardwood for £80 if you get some dont leave it in the round lenghts we find it holds the sap needs cutiing and splitting and its fine hope this helps

Problem is it is the same amount of work to produce but only burns for 3/4 the time.

Then you end up selling more loads:thumbup:

I sell mixed hard and softwood for £80-00 cubic meter and hardwood only for £95-00 cube. 75% have bought mixed this year and no complaints (yet!).

proof of the pudding

80% of what i sell is softwood (Grampian area). If you quote customers prices for both the price difference will generate lots of sales of softwood.
