Log prices

[Mr. Bish]

I thaught I had pleanty of wood but it's going faster than I can split it.

 

L200 crewcab load - £50

1.9m3 Trailer £90

 

All seasoned but totally random mix. No willow or pops.

I still have people phone me and want it cheaper but the price is fixed.

Tree work has dropped right off tho so I hope the logs last long enough

Anyone that burns wood on a regular basis should have their chimney lined. No matter how long wood is seasoned for it still leaves resin in the chimney. The resin soaks into the brickwork and if a fire occurs it cant be put out, resulting in structural damage to the house. My chimney is lined with stainless steel and I still clean every two months or so depending on the type of wood I,m burning. Sometimes the first section of my six inch flue is chogged right up leaving a three inch hole. I know when it,s time to clean just by judging the fires performance. Also I season all my wood for two years whether it,s for me or customers.

 

All good stuff but in our experience well over the top - we have been running a full central heating system (3 bed detached with 7 full radiators) for the last 20 years on nothing but firewood. The chimney is unlined rough stone and is swept on an annual basis. We have had a couple of fres over the years when the wife forgets to get it swept and have no bother putting them out by shutting the chimney damper in.

 

We typically fell a load of wood in the winter - or block windblow - and in the spring split it and stack it under a tin roof - it is then burned from september onwards. We take little account of species but tend to burn softwoods in summer and hardwoods in winter.

well lads you need to put your prices up.. mines selling at £258 for a full tipper, (6 cubes) mind you its all ash.. peoples screaming for it:001_tongue:

[Steve Bullman]

looks nice wood mate...but sorry, that doesnt look like a 6 cube load to me

[Arran Woodfuels]

£258 for a full tipper, (6 cubes)

 

My calculations say that you're getting £43 per cube. We are currently getting £50 per cube - for softwood.

 

 

But, actually, do you really think you have 6 cubes on your Transit, it looks a lot less?

[Mr Ed]

6 cubic feet maybe - no way there is 6 cubic meters of wood on that truck, nor would a transit be capable of legally carrying that weight.

[Arran Woodfuels]

I'd guess you have just under 3 m3 on there, and that would mean you're getting £85 per cube which is indeed a good price.......

[log supplier]

theres def 6 cube on the tipper lads...

transit carrys 2.5 tonnes. and if you where to fill a dumpy bag with wood..

each dumpy bag will only hold 300kg max 6x300kg=1800kg..

try it you will be supprised....

I,ve always thought a transit could carry one and three quarter ton?
