logs for chimineas and barbecues

[barry ayres]

ive just started putting cards in local shop windows (wimbledon,kingston area) for chiminea and barbecue logs.

ive been very pleased with the out come im shifting quite a few nets of logs and kindling just wanted to know if any of you guys or selling firewood for chimineas there seems to be alot of people who have them.

I sell a few bags to friends and friends of friends for chimneas etc. I don't really push log sales though

are these special logs??

What a bloomin good idea! Just out of interest and as i do not own one of them chiminea things myself, what size approx are the logs you are selling?

I have a whole stack of small stuff sat here that i could do with shifting.

Cheers

no there not special logs there just smaller logs i ask a few of the tree boys who drop wood in too me to trim out some branch wood instead of putting though the chipper i cut it up put it nets and hey presto! chiminea logs! also there good for people with small open fires!

Good idea

That must be worth a premium:thumbup1:

what price would you put on good seasoned logs that would fill 2/3s of a council recycling box? I've sold a few I reckon I'm under charging at a fiver a box full, but its my 15 year old cousin, so meh

i sell small oak logs which are used in pizzaria oven type things, not in great amounts, only 2 customers have ever asked for them!! i dont advertise them, extra work in chopping so small!!! still havent been invited back for a proper stone cooked pizza either!!!!!!!!

I am charging £5 for a 15kg dog food bag of very dry softwood. Also £5 for kindling and 3.00 for scented starter sticks ( from La Hacienda). Only selling it in store at present.

We haven't really got into logs- mainly nearly giving them away as arb arisings.

This thread got me thinking mainly about how you get best bucks from getting your market right

Try and sell a bag of logs at a boot fair for £5 and I don't think you'd have many takers.

Sell the same bag at Dobbies Garden World and they would fly.

Maybe I should look more seriously at marketing to maximise returns:thumbup1:
