Just Firewood

[Dean O]

unfortunately there will always be a market for cheep - frustrating i know, and for those that go out of business (because they are cheep) there will be another ready to take their place also working for peanuts.

 

I would think that it is possible to make a living from firewood but You have to forget those that are selling cheep and market your business better than they do.

Word of mouth i great but you have to build a client list in order to get this, quality alone is not enough without advertising that those quality logs are sat in your yard.

 

I would imagine a succesfull firewood business takes a lot of hard work with high and consistent standards.

went to Chelford farm auction builders bags of logs going from £25-£35 it is hard to justify me selling for £60-£75. However, they were wet and all sizes, so as you mention i will just hold on until October when we hopefully have another harsh winter. I am trying to make a living out of firewood, but couldn't had it not been for kindling and making some wood products for farmers markets etc. Think my answer is you can make a living out of wood, if you combine the sales of different products. to make a living out of logs alone then you need to invest more money than i will see in my life

Client list and local independent stores, and marketing all essential i reckon.
