Kindling worth doing?

[eggsarascal]

Fahrenheit and Windfall, what size/weight are the nets you are buy in at £1.20/£1.50 and have you got any pics.

[Fahrenheit]

Just been out and taken a photo. It's loosely stacked and not making full use of the space in the bag but having no trouble shifting them.

 

Also buying the tubs of Burner oderless firelighters. £5.00 to buy, sell for £10.

Mine are bagged all neatly, think they weigh 3.5kg. I will take a picture later as i need to post a pic on facebook anyway.

 

I have been told i can now get 4.5kg nets for £1.55, which is what the competition is selling for £6 a bag.

None of my log customers are interested in buying kindling, but yet the shops/petrol stations seem to sell enough of it

I sell kiln dried hardwood sticks at £1.50/bag and will do them for £1.25/bag for large orders. To be honest i can't see it is worth it for any less. I am only interested in processing firewood so kindling has actually been more profitable than logs this year due to the rise in price of cord wood.

Could be because they think they will get loose packed nets. If you present a good product at the right price you will sell and get repeat business. Our nets weigh 4kg on average and are made from new kiln dried planned timber. Pick below. The wife has told me we are currently booked till end of July but can do orders after then. I am working away for 10 days if anyone is interested will answer messages on return.

I must say i'd rather have some tightly packed stuff like yours. What you knocking them out at say for 100 bags?

Currently same price as last winter at £1.50 + vat per bag collection only. We sell alot of bags to members on here so try to give the best price we can. Alot of people retail them for £3.95 ea or 3 for £10. The way prices are going up could be £5 a bag or 3 for £12 soon.

yeah i sell them at £3.50 a net or 3 for £10. always chuck a few nets on a load as it leaves the yard. selling a few nets with each load covers fuel etc for that load and no work involved at all
