How do you do stock control?

Don't run out if you do there's plenty of seasoned wood kickin about

 

Realy? I like the idea but in all honesty have never seen seaoned wood in the round except softwood.

Hardwood (not oak h c sc for the clever feckers) cut with a harvester that strips the bark is going to be dry in 14 months. Was buying it in last year where you could snap the stuff 4inch with your hand it was that soft. I'm just telling you what I've seen and it's cut left 6 weeks to get damp from underneath bark and sold

Bark stripped stuff sure makes a big difference, but above a certain diameter I reckon 'seasoned cord' is a bit of a Unicorn.

I have some 4 in beech which I assume was branch wood about 2-3 years old and put in to nets 18 months ago. I find it not as dense as the main trunk goes very light when dry and not as long lasting on a fire. I always found this timber dried quickly in the length but any thing over 10 in would take a couple of years to season in the middle.

Last year I ran out just at the end of the season. I told two customers that we'd got nothing dry and that they'd be better trying someone else.

One was a new customer: I never heard from them again.

The other was a regular - maybe 10m3 a year, she went somewhere else but sure enough was on the phone to me this September complaining about the rubbish she had from the other bloke.

We have been processing and drying to order for the last 2 months! Just can't keep up and get ahead of myself [emoji30]

Good problem to have though

Hi WOOD buy larger processor then but with low profit in fire wood what point is there thanks Jon

[ash_smith123]

Low profit in firewood?

Your selling it too cheap then?!

I can't see the point in saving £10 a ton and buying big timber when it takes 3 times as long to process. Time costs money!
