seasoned hardwood

[machomole]

Does anyone know where i might be able to get hold of seasoned hardwood cord near Gloucestershire? It looks like im going to be a few tonnes short before the season finishes.

Maybe you should be considering raising your prices ahead of outstripping your supply?

out of interest how much do you charge for your logs? sister in law lives in your neck of the woods

Raising prices wouldn't really help because i really am running very low as a result of losing a lot of stock to a hidden leak. I know seasoned, dry cord doesn't really exist but i cant find anything anywhere that might be suitable, am starting to get a bit desperate.

Im currently charging 65 for 90cm3 delivered in the Forest of Dean

I'm a bit surprised you cant find any in the Forest area, would have though there would be a fair bit around there.

almost everything is managed and sold at tender by the forestry commission and ive never seen a tender less than 500 tonnes, far too much for me im afraid

I imagine that the 65 refers to pounds, i haven't worked it out exactly but thats about £85 for a cube of properly seasoned hardwood delivered and stacked which i think is a perfectly reasonable. I'm fed up of people making out that im involved in some sort of scam, firewood is my only source of income and i take pride in providing a proper service and quality wood a reasonable rate. Its not like i'm raking it in, i scarcely make what i would if i was on job seekers.

Chill dude we are all in the same boat as you justifying prices to people who need to reign in their expectations so I dont think thats what he meant. £85 per cube is what i am currently charging and i am also stacking my logs or kinda dumping (not number 2 dumping btw!) in people wood stores.

 

My prices next season will be increasing though.
