...which we actually put into 0.68 M3 builders bags and sell as a cube

 

Be very careful as in this area local trading standards are checking and we had the firewood and charcoal looked at without knowledge until afterwards when told slightly over the amount so legal:thumbup:

I'm not a (commercial) firewood producer myself, but do you ever find folk moaning about loose thrown loads condensing into not much when stacked? Whilst I appreciate the huge amount of work involved in firewooding (I've 40 tonnes for the house), a level load with the Mercedes tipper is 3 cubic metres but stacks to less than 2. If I were paying £70 a cube for it, I'd be burning £210 a month for 7 months a year!

If you're burning 3m3 a month you must have either a massive fire or burning very poor quallity wood ? I'd estimate 3m3 to be over 1000 average sized logs which means you'd be burning 33 a day ? That's a lot .

£100 for 1m3 of mixed hardwood in Reading... Amazing, though, how few customers actually have any idea what 1m3 is. Presumably there has been a debate on here in times past about what a 'load' is?!

Thanks 33bk, that's £100 /m3 and thanks ThrustSSC too, all very encouraging.

Loads and cubic meters are all well debated with buyers and sellers alike I recon.

It's amazing how many rogues out there sell 1m3 of wood in a 1 tonne builders bag which is of course holds just over half a cubic meter in volume and also how many sell 2 cubic meters from the butt of a 4x4 pick up that measures at maybe 1.2 m3 !

Everyone has a calculator and can measure length x width x depth surely, it's not rocket science ?

Price per meter cubic meter seems to be the best measure. And judging by the more recent posts to this thread it's looking like £100/m3 for premium firewood. Plain and simple.

When all's said and done it's repeat orders that make for good business and those orders come from satisfied customers only ?
