We have recently taken on a barn as we could not keep up with demand. We season in bags and keeping them dry prior to delivery was becoming a pain. As it's not at our yard we have had to invest in another forklift a little counterbalance, it's really surprised me how good it is.

Problem is people moan about having bought wet firewood from someone else, but still buy on price.

In other words they go for the cheapest supplier and get bitten time after time.

You go to all the trouble if renting or buying land, putting up sheds, getting in pallets to raise the floor and then sit there till all the crap wood has sold before you start selling yours.

Luckily now I have built up a customer base over the years who know my logs are dry and are good value for money, but it's taken well over a decade to get to that stage.

You just get sick of explaining to new enquirers why your logs are ever so slightly dearer than others
