firewoodman

our council is the same and dont work the woodlands.....cant fight conservation orders, sssi sites and singlemindedness can we!!!

yes, but contrary to the above, i find it dries quite quick, even in the winter and burns a treat elm is v.good wood but does need time to dry split oak, elm, leylandii in early spring, and ash and lime are the last to split as they dry quicker......in time you'll learn my young padawan:thumbup1:

i could be the only one on here who just does firewood and nothing else,( correct me if wrong) so yes it is possible. but i sell everything, no matter the tree species, it is turned into firewood. why? better to get heat out of it than to have it roting away in land fill or have a massive pile of wood chip. this year i am really pushing softwood, i have to as hardwood is very difficult to get now (the bandwagon syndrome) and i have customers coming back for more as they cant tell the difference SAM i dont sell anything without trying it first, just like a chef tastes the food it cooks before serving, and if i am given somthing new, then i try it, there is no room for negitivity with this. if we carry on like we are we will run out of hardwoods and go the way of the Easter island tribes and the Mayans. wood is valuable, utalise it and dont waste it, it can all be burnt, so use it. SAM, i started off like you on only the best......then "I" got "educated"....larch dude, try it

i bought a 10ton bull for £1200 in 2007

just as i was about to write phone fuelwood... they offer good advice ( i have loyalties), i read the above, thats the best bit of sales and splitter advice i have seen on here and has everything i would say, but just cant be bothered to type so much. well done chris:thumbup:

WHAT £2000 new:confused1: i bought one in 06 for £950 new off dealer:001_cool:

same here larch all the way and lovin it, fantastic firewood

thats what i sell it for steve.....well £195 and they aint said no to it yet:thumbup1: i got 40 cube of it split and drying......yours for a million bucks:thumbup: honestly though, it priceless:lol:

it is complicated as you have to be a member of the coal merchants assosiation and be sponsered by a big supplier....so i was told when i looked into it here. buying in bulk, you have to buy a huge amount. i stuck to what i knew. my coal merchant gets logs off me and i get coal off him, he gives out my number and i give out his..........simples yes

what did you see??

same here some days get nothing at all

i split 5 inch in half but any smaller the diam its not worth the hastle

does his own forestry as well i believe does he not supply CPL and B&Q and DJ davies with all their bagged stuff for this area? is he anything to do with fernwoods aswell?

:dito:yeah man, with you on that one

oohh no, here we go again

credland firewood... theres a blast from the past, still running then, biggest in pembroke at one time i believe

oh i dont know.. roughly 1k a month, sometimes 1.5k marketing and promotion, its what i do i even tell the customers when i deliver at this time of year that it pays to buy it fresh in the spring before the prices go up for the following season:thumbup1: works for me:thumbup:

tip out in yard and deliver them loose, tip on drive, collect money and go

wont work you wont get the frame out, too much pressure, too much weight

i went there about 4-5yrs ago to see it work, its about 2 hrs drive from me awsome machine and lumps it throws out and big noise too

this is how i do it everyone, made them myself, its so simple and frees up the machinery:biggrin:

the wife filled the stove with larch last night, burnt so hot,even with the dampers shut, that i could not sit in the same room (26ft long room too), stove nice and clean, good bed of embers and did not burn too fast either

fuelwood is the dealer and there are not that many in the country

i got asked to go to a house and quote for splitting the wood on site, did'nt really want to do it, but quoted £25p/h customer laughed at me and said "what, just to split some logs" i went through the explanation of machinery, labour, tools, insurance, etc customer replied "i'll do it myself" "ok, give us a ring when your back and wrists are knackered then" didnt want it, so high price (actually i would not do it for anyless anyway, so not really a high price)
