Firewood Buyers Guide

Education of the people who buy logs is so important that fair and impartial guides for them to look at are an important step in the right direction, well done.

Education of the people who sell logs is also important, not those that do it as the mane income but the ones who do it for a bit of beer money! Having done a little market resurch a year ago one bloke could not tell me wot type of wood he had never minde if it was hard/softwood and anouther told me if i wonted to know how big a load was i needed to get one and work it out for myself....???

I have found that drying times are afected so much by how wood is stored that timespans start to mean very little, ie wood split into billets and staked so wind flows all arond the stack will loose moisture at a much higher rate then wood cut into logs and piled up undercover. just last weekend i cut a 20" diameter beech log up that i hav had in the yard fou over 2 year and it was still far to wet in the centre to sell as seasoned logs.

My take is split it, let the wind get at it and tell the people paying good money for it exactely wot they are getting.Be fair and they will come back to you year after year.

marko on your site you also show what a dumpy bag may cost £50-£70, might be worth changing that.

in my experience if a customer sees a price on a guide web site they often tell me i'm overcharging, my reply is usually "quality is worth paying for, but feel free to phone around for other prices"
