Business Partner Wanted - North Yorkshire

[chopper brown]

Loads of people doing firewood in the Pickering, North York's area. There's quite a few big good suppliers but alot of poor smaller ones.

 

Same old story plenty of people thinking it's easy money and providing poor quality. I think the biggest problem is getting the timber in in the first place and that's where alot struggle.

 

Just a point to note I'm not a bitter log man:biggrin:

I thought it may be abit easier to get wood up there dont you have alot of woodland and forests to get cord from, and Scotland is not to far!

As I understand it from talking to the firewood lads most of the hardwood is pretty much spoken for before felled. Most timber comes from a good way off costing more on haulage.

 

Anyone doing big quantities is importing it and due to being in a rural area every man and his dog owns a chainsaw and likes to have a go.

 

I'm not that fussed really but it does make you laugh when after dropping a tree they don't want it ringing up or clearing as they have someone with a log burner who will do it for free!! Two days later they might as well of worked and bought the logs.

 

haha anyway such is life:001_smile:
