Why so much Firewood kit for sale?

[Matthew Storrs]

There a lot of people doing and a lot of people wanting it whether there is enough wood in the first place is another matter, I don't think there is myself. Not sustainable anyway, France it seems is more geared up for this.

People probably sell gear over the summer months then upgrade come autumn.

HI EGGS your right mucker :thumbup1:theres no money in logs i sound like gen steve :thumbup1:jon

 

realist with biomass pushing the price of timber up with their hand outs from the government. The log buying public wont pay more so the margins getting smaller. Get into pellets and chip and grab the subsidies.

Price of cord going up. Price of end product staying the same?

 

Spot on there, I have been selling timber as cord in the round as the prices I can get for cord mean it isn't worth processing. I am still selling logs for the same price I was 5 years ago. I have sold 250 ton of cord in the last year though.

It would be so easy to give it up but it just carries me through those quieter cold months and if I'm honest I enjoy it in a strange way.

When I stopped doing the logs I was still getting calls from customers. I went to a fella two miles away that was happy to fill my cabstar for a Oner a time. I was delivering the logs for One and half. Ok it was a mix of hard and soft wood but it was all seasoned and ready to go. Why keep a dog and bark ya self!?
