REF what the price of hard wood cord now thanks

[mendiplogs]

the gales must have an effect on price but I think the mild winter will have more of an influence with regards to fieewood. Too much stock in the woods with not enough retail demand to soak it all up

HI firewood but do you think euro forest upm will just hold back and not cut as much this year as theres tons at road side they like to keep prices high thanks jon

Just been talking to my youngest boy - he is working on an estate in North Wales - they have just been thinning out hardwood plantations - dunno what acreage but apparently mixed ash & sycamore, all processor sized.

 

Anyway it has all been x cut at 2.0m and stacked - to go to waste (and no there is no bunnyhugging scheme involved.)

 

Looking at the forum here I would have thought that would be well worth putting on roadside but it seems not.

 

funny old world ain't it?

Possibly jon but they still have to keep the wheels turning by cutting some. Plus firewood is usually the byproduct I.e. stuff not good enough for the mill so if mills busy firewood will still be produced.

Depends what they are paid as waste. If they get a good price and know customer is good for it why deal with smaller outfits in this economic climate.

I may have expressed myself poorly - what I meant was that I was suprised that having gone to the expense of felling, cross cutting and stacking plus brash piling the estate did not find it economic to put the timber on the roadside and offer it for sale.

 

I would guess from what I see on the forum here that it would find a ready market at £30-40 at roadside and should not take more than £25 to put it there

£40 per ton plus vat delivered up here in Durham

[robbo 110]

so who else is holding out & waiting to see if the price drops for next years stock????

 

lots of wood around here between £40-£45 per tonne roadside

[face cord]

There isn't much decent hardwood firewood availiable around in North Wales its mostly softwood.

 

I'd pay £30-40 a tonne for stuff like that to burn. Even if I had to cut it into rounds & fetch it in a wheelbarrow to the road side cross country

 

Probably a really silly question but how do they weigh wood @ the roadside to sell it by the tonne?

 

Is it caculated by the volume of artic trailers?
