what should we charge for cut and split dry logs

[I-buy-logs]

We have got a massive stockpile of air dried logs maybe 100-200 ton plus.

All cut and split all hard wood what price should i be selling them lose for we obviously sell logs, by the builders bag nets and cubes but not by weight normally but i want to get in to the wholesale market. we have weighed a bulk bag and a m3 crate

 

A net roughly 11-15 kg

A builders bag is 280-300 kg

A 1 m3 crate is 580-600 kg

 

So on a load of say a ton would around £120 be about the right price or £140 delivered ?

 

any thoughts ?

At average delivered hardwood firewood prices of £55 seems light to me , you have to consider weight loss on delivered green timber.

no the timber is cut split and dried . ready for sale

Yes , I realise that, what I am saying is it seems cheap....

HI MATE do you sell by weight OR MT how do you sale then thanks jon

If its ready to sell don't look to wholesale it by weight, after all most of us sell by volume. Sell it by volume and then whoevers buying it has a better idea of what they are going to get.

 

You should be looking at around £80-90 per cbm, obviously depending on the market in your area

im looking for whole sale orders really say 10 ton that would be about 20m3 for say £1200 or somewhere around that price we have so much wood coming in we need some wholesale outlets we could do this amount a day i reckon

are you having a laugh matey,,,,,

 

at the volumes and weights quoted its same as green split timber.

 

have just split 26 t of fresh timber, delivered in last week, and got 52m3.

Have you got a moisture reading from the logs. I weigh quite a few of my bags and I think I get 2 cube to the ton that is Beech just delivered in.

[I-buy-logs]

no thats timber thats been air dried for 6 mths kiln dried is obviously a bit less weight moisture is around the low 20s people burn as soon as buying from us.

 

no im not joking i have a certified weighbridge on site and weighing them thats the weight that we got them to i don't think 280 kg for a builders bag overflowing is particularly heavy is it ? for us having a weighbridge it seams logical to sell on weight on decent orders.

 

barnsley bob a load of cord comes on a 80m2 lorry stacked and you get 52m2 split ??? the 1m2 crates of kiln dried on ebay weigh 500kg so i thing 600kg is about right.
