last 1000 bags done

[gensetsteve]

Been busy all summer with a large kindling order and this is the last 1000 bags ready to go. Bit of a lul now so will be getting 1700 in stock for winter. If any body needs a large amount now is a good time.

Hi,

 

Just out of interest . . . . Do you ever have troubles with rodents nibbling nets?

 

Cheers,

I don't do kindling, out of interest how do the numbers stack up? How much timber does it take to fill a bag? how long does it take? and how much do you sell em for? Nice neat stack BTW...

I don't know?

 

Do you do kindling? There's loads of threads on the price of cord, logs per M3, bags of logs etc. I have no idea how the kindling job works..

[A Townsend]

Evidently not. And as the signature would suggest yes i do.

My wife runs the kindlet and really enjoys the work I guess making 10-20,000 bags a year you would have to . A solid cubic metre of timber makes a cubic meter of kindling or about 80-100 bags. Like most of the timber trade you wont get rich but can make a living. It takes longer to make the bags than doing logs but generally the raw material is cheaper and the work is lighter. We sell wholesale to trade 40x50 nets with approx 4kg for £1.60+ vat they retail for £4. Thanks for the compliment will pass it onto the wife. If anyone wants a few hundred bags, nows the time to shout. If we have a mild winter we will have plenty but if its cold it goes nuts. We dont really do it for the money its a nice side line which if things go quiet is a good fall back. Our usp is our timber is kiln dried so we keep going all year so ideal for top ups in January ( no seasoning )

Thanks, do you just use softwood?

Yes we just use untreated joinery of cuts. Hardwood I suspect would be hard on the machine and burns too slow.
