Anyone got a kindlet machine ?

Sounds like a plan

But I would factor in electric, wear and tear, depreciation, £14phr labour (minimum inc time at market), overheads ins etc, Loss of interest on £7475 or what you save if you have mortgage and so on.

It may pay to retail half and wholesale the rest.

Never seen Kindling retailing at £5 a bag... the best wholesale price I've seen is £1.75 a bag.

What kind of weight/volumes for £1.75 Ed?

I was thinking of a net with about 5kg in it for £5, therefore it would cost about £1/kg retail.

B&Q retail kindling at £2.48 for 1.5 kg (£1.65/kg), another online retailer selling kindling £4.30 for 2.7kg (£1.59/kg)

 

I have access to some free pine from our woodland in North Wales so could produce 5T/year if i had an outlet for it (5 canal marinas within 10 miles!)

 

The downside to buying a kindling machine is that it is likely to sit around doing nothing for at least 10 months a year (unless you hire it out or produce a massive amount of kindling!)

 

Anyone interested in a joint purchase scheme, or maybe it would be simpler to hire one for £700/month, probably produce more than enough in a month!

That came out wrong .Should have said never saw kindling wood for sale . Must be a regional thing .

 

Here we just take an axe and make our own .

[Mr Ed]

Dave, you would be better off buying a bulk order of say 1000 nets of kindling (hopefully from me ) and sticking 100% on for retail.

Will take him along time to get through 5 tonne even with an axein each hand:001_smile:

Well yes I suppose it would .

 

I just find it amazing you can actually sell kindling wood . Difference in areas of the world I suppose .

 

It may sound unbelievable but I doubt I use two 5 gallon buckets full a year .Just split some dry ash or something that splits easily and start the fire . Keep in mind though that the fire may not go out for months at a time between November and March .
