Saw nets of kindling and same sized nets of hardwood logs for £5.00 a pop at Mottisfont Abbey on Sunday. The kindling bags were proper rammed and looked 10 times better value than petrol station prices. I'm looking at selling kindling next year as we have a fat stack of poplar in the yard. I can't find an "average" price for bags or units of it though. It seems to be £3-5 a 'bag' with quantities of actual kindling varying massively. The log price seems a pound overpriced in my opinion but if people buy at that price then there's the demand for it and it's fair.

 

My kindling problem is how to process it economically. Got about 6m cube of poplar stacked up awaiting its fate. A bunch of it is going for chip but once I have the amount of chip I want then the rest is just taking up room. Handcutting it with a hand axe is pretty daunting.

 

Are you looking at buying in cord and processing yourself or buying bulk processed gear? Or do you perhaps have some of your own materials?
