Processed green hardwood

[Hoss]

Any ideas of price per ton of green hardwood processed & ready to go?? I would have to collect it loose which is not a problem, could be about 20 ton. Next problem would be how to season it in big quantity loose like that.

At the moment we're £90 for 1.8 cube which is about a ton, could probably knock a bit off for a large amount fresh. Seasoning would be an issue because it will go moldy in a heap. A shallow stack on pallets with plenty of airflow is the best way to season.

Yes if it's collected, all oak and ash at the moment. Too much competition to put prices up. :-)

Build a round stack and put a lid on it, tin, tiles , whatever, the wind will be able to get at it from all sides and a round stack 3M Ø will easily swallow 20 cubic meters.

 

Its very easy to build if the lengths are 24" and split down the middle. Build it in a ring with the nice stuff on the outside and dump the rest in the middle.

There's very little profit in it to be honest but we break even and it keeps us in work. We were up to paying £55 a ton for the last few artic loads. £90 is before delivery so it still leaves £35 to pay for cutting and everything that goes with it.

£90 for 1.8m3 that's £50/cube.

 

That would bankrupt most very quickly; whats the point?! Seriously.

Obviously we're not losing money, that's the going rate around here, not just us. I would like more money, everyone would, but it's just about making sensible decisions. There's people around who sell for more and there's people who sell for less - it all depends on the area and the individual business.
