The end of firewood?

[Big J]

I do some times wonder if I would of been better sticking with the splitter and buying over size in cheep.

 

Sod that - get one of the monster splitters from the States. There are so many models out there that split 36". They aren't that fast, but have to be quicker than a chainsaw and splitter.

Have you seen the price of that gear though.

couple hours with a splitter may prove the ash cord was a good idea.

I know. The big circular saw processors are awesome but much more expensive than big hydraulic mills (which is daft as they can't produce the same value of product).

 

I quite like this one:

 

TurnerFirewood Processor

 

Not the quickest, but cheap, well made and Bill at Turnermills is open to customisation (I spoke to them for a while before settling on Logmaster).

I'm no nothing about mills j but a big circular can churn out big volume 15 cube plus an hour constantly if your at the lowest price for firewood that's 2k an hour would a saw mill do that?

If your on about the graded stuff the driver dumped it on top of a pile of mixed size so it kind of defeated the whole point Spent most of Friday morning digging it out ohh the joys of firewood.

No, but my mill only cost £20k. If every day was a good day, it turns £800-1000 worth of raw material into £5000 of sawn product (final, kilned value). Minimal running costs, one man day of labour and also not having to deal with firewood customers!

 

We can all produce endless firewood/sawn timber - it's the selling of it that is tricky!
