Kindlett machine blanks

[Chris Gagen]

Just looking for some feedback from other kindling producers as to whether it's worth selling 'ready to feed into kindlett' blanks. All cut from dry joinery waste, smallest section 3" x 1" upto 12" x 2" as an average.

 

Stored undercover in vented log bags, "cubic meter bags" but actually 1.4cbm. 3 bags fills a nissan cabstar with extension sides to overflowing.

 

Pricing is another matter entirely, one bag yields £170 worth of netted kindling at my wholesale price.

 

Thoughts please folks...

Hi Chris

We have someone supply us in 100x100x100 vented bags we get 45 bags of kindling and pay 50 p per net. It's just about worth them making it and just about worth us buying it.

That would depend on your bag size and the price you charge per bag

Thanks Steve and Matt.

I use the 47 x 40 and 65 x 40 nets

I reckon on getting about 75 large nets and 110 small nets from one of the large bags. I realise I made a mistake with quoting £170 in previous post, it's actually more like £205.

With the cost of delivery I cant see it being viable.

 

Do you really want to sell to another supplier locally that will then be trying to sell into the same market you do?

That's a conclusion I came to also JustMe, figured I'd throw it out there to get other views in case I'd missed something though.

I would keep it quiet,

I use to be able to buy offcuts by the artic Tipper load, until the big biomass plants started running

Last load was in 2007 can't get them now
