Roundwood to kindling

[Cookie]

Im looking for a little help!? I'm trying to work out roughly how many 40x50 or 45x60 nets (stacked or loose filled) you can get from a meter of roundwood. I've got figures going round and round on paper using guesstimates etc. But thought there maybe someone on here that may be able to shed a little more light on the subject?

 

I'm using joinery waist at the mo, looking to switch to roundwood larch/pop etc.

 

Thanks in advance.

We get about 60 bags of kindling from a cu metre bulk bag of prepared off cuts. I would say a solid cu metre of timber will produce 1.5cubic metres or 90 bags of kindling. We have tried round timber a few times and it drives us mad so unless we have enough joinery off cuts we dont bother. I hope you have more luck than us. If you get too busy to make kindling my wife makes thousands of bags would be great to supply you.

We get 60-80, depending on how much waste is generated after we cut 1m3 into 6inch lengths. I would say 80-90 per m3 if already cut.

Cheers for the replies guys! Seems my figures are not to far out then (makes a change!!!) still not sure round wood is the way to go in terms of end results, just like the fact supply is a little more controllable etc? Sandbach sticks what size nets are you filling?
