6 inch granny logs take twice as long create twice as much saw dust and use up all the air space in the truck. Charge a third more.

I dont think you will struggle to sell your 12in logs but if you have room do two sizes 9.5 and 12 I think most people want house brick sized logs. With these super insulated houses all people will need in the future will be a 5 kw stove to heat the house so we need to get used to it.

I cut my logs to fit my fireplaces, usually 14" to 16". Wifey stacks the logs in the log store and she doesn't like having to double stack.

We cut mainly 10"-12" (not that precise as we process with a chainsaw)

We are only small but sell out buy Christmas so log size has not been a problem for us. We have tried smaller logs but as has already been said they take so much time to process. We live and supply to a rural area so most stoves are large as they provide most of the heating for our customers.

I have a 5kw stove, Yeoman Exe, recommended log size 12".

Firebox is 18" internal width so cut my logs 16", makes for less work, less loading and less waste.

Never understood why Yeoman recommend 12" log length.

I sell my softwood at 25cm length for the stove market and hardwood generally at 30cm. I sometimes get requests for a 20cm cut and it is a bit of a hassle (logs do not fall right in the processor, sawdust, etc!), I think I should consider charging extra. Is a third extra charge the norm for smaller logs? what does everyone else do?

im semi rural based the houses round here are small & so my customers have small stoves so i cut logs to between 8-10 inches which seems to suit my customers i have not had any complaints

Not what you got -- it's how you use it (they say )
