Looking for a new kindling supplier - Highlands

[Tomatin Firewood]

Hi there,

 

The chap who normally does my kindling no longer appears to be trading which is a shame , so I am looking for a new wholesale supplier.

 

Anyone in the area able to provide me? I am looking for stock from the end of July onwards.

 

Let me know if you can help

what was his wholesale price, could supply you if the margins were good

He did 300 bags delivered for £450 cash. The net bags were on the smaller side, see my website - kindling pic for details. Sorry cannot remember exact dimensions.

 

I think the killer will be delivery so that is why I thought it would probably suit someone more local. Last season I sold 600 bags (sold out) in my second season so if I find the right supplier and price am sure this could be really built up.

Matt at Highland Forestry could be worth a shout?

Our bags are 40x50 and we currently charge £1.60 a bag but we are booked solid for months and getting the timber is becomming a pita. You are right to get it local send it any distance and the only person making a good margin is the courier.

I think the problem is if its wood its on its way to a power station with the government ( tax payer ) picking up half the bill.

HI STEVE that what will kill it in the end getting hold of good timber mate all best jon ps are you going to arb show

last year was getting £4.50 for 82x52cm at the petrol station, you could prob get 2.75

40x 50 bags from one 82x52 thats 14-16kg so almost works out the same.

 

would you be looking for more than 600+ to collect from inverness (only 15mins) 40x50cm for £1.60

schedule is busy i may be able to fit an order in but wont know for two months. i cannot guarantee all wood is crispy 16%.

Hi Graham, where are you based?

 

I would be looking for either 600 of the smaller bags or I am even wondering if it is worth getting the larger bags?
