Price of firewood

[likeitorlumpit]

people will always say you're too expensive

If you really want expensive B&Q are offering nets of H/W for £7.50 this year

10 logs

Yes I do realise this is a different market but thats an uplift pricewise on last year of about 20-30%

I've had the " There's someone selling bags at £30" this year. It hasn't stopped me putting mine up to £60 a bag which are selling fast.

 

If you listened to the moans and groans you would be out of business in a week and signing on. They have no idea of the work or costs involved in producing "good quality" firewood

Is that a builders "1 ton " bag which holds about .8 of a cube?

yes thats them

[windfall]

I think they are less than 0.8m3 more like .6?

[Dean Lofthouse]

Yes they are .6 if you fill them in a filling cage so they truely measure 85x85x85

 

The problem is.. they bulge, so the customer gets a lot more than .6 more like .8

my 1.5 cu bags 3/4 fill my 2cu metre truck so I would say about right.

I'm new to the world of firewood, having just had a wood-burning stove installed in the house. (I'm in rural East Yorkshire, not a million miles from Spurn Point).

 

To get me going, I recently bought 2x bulk bags of seasoned hardwood logs from a "local" supplier for £90 per bag. (There doesn't appear to be an abundance of suppliers in East Yorks, but then again, there's not too many trees either!!) Why then, when I had a trot down to the Firewood Fair at Revesby, did no-one even bid on a lot of the wood on auction? Can't remeber who it was but I was told by someone who brought lots of, err, lots, that they had set a reserve of £35 and it didn't get near to that. I got two bags which even allowing for auction fees and tax worked out at half the price I've paid at home. At that price, I wish I could have bought more but my van was full enough.

 

Am I missing something or is firewood either dear up here or cheap in Lincs?

[Paul Smith]

Depends on what you bought.
