Kindling processing

[RobRainford]

We are having a few enquiries about kindling now and was wondering what's the best way to do kindling? Buy it in and make little money on it? Another option we saw was to hire a kindlett for a week and buy in a heap of cordwood to process through it. A claimed 300 bags per day with the machine we looked at.

I would find someone near you and make alot of money reselling. By the time you have collected the hire machine and paid for it. bought the cordwood Spent a day preparing enough timber to 6in then another day trying to get 300 bags out of the machine. £200 for a 1000 bags it may not add up. I think Logbaron is closer to you than we are. We are based in Hampshire and the transport will kill it.

sandbach sticks off here sells kindling wholesale as well I believe. Unless you have a good ready supply of appropriate wood I would buy in.

I would recommend Steves kindling, i got a load about a year ago and its great!

Rob, unless you're looking to set up as a wholesale producer then it will be far less hassle to buy in, I would offer myself up as your supplier, but as has been said, transport would be the limiting factor...

Hi Daniel thanks for the positive recommendation. I have enough wood for 10,000 bags and a new toy to cut it to 6" so like a coiled spring ready to play kindling. Although my wife Lindy not so keen as she has to get it through the Kindlet if anyone wants a few hundred bags through the summer give us a shout

So far we have only used untreated new pine construction timber. Fully seasoned joinery off cuts that would otherwise be Land filled or used for power stations. As long as we can keep up with demand we will not use round timber.

I could do you kindling as well as briquettes, wood pellets, and G30 spec woodchip.
