when can you pick it up Dave, my man as tonnes of the stuff at that price:thumbup:(5 times cheaper than apple wood)now there must be profit in that:lol:

Thats why it stayed in his yard

I was buying oak a few weeks ago out of Essex, the guy i was buying off almost begged me to take the pop at £15 per tonne.

just been offered some chestnut 4-10 inch diameter, was cut just over 12 months ago, will it be dry enough to burn? the chap who is selling it as not got a moisture meter and its a little to far for me to just nip over and check myself.

got enough to sink a small ship more like:thumbup:.ps happy christmas dave

In response to your question, Dave, As "Genset Steve" said in a thread titled prices, cord wood road side should be £30 a ton, as vikki on here is charging. With another £10-15 a ton for delivery, anymore than this is not worth doing - for me. As cord is getting short in places, you may achieve £50 a ton delivered in (you could try for more). As for the customer who buys at your prices and doubles his money, that was how i started, which was fiune at the time, paying a local farmer friend of mine £20 a month for storage and processing ten ton at a time, all logged by chainsaw, but decided to grow the business, tractor loader, processor, proper rent on a barn, insurance, wages etc, which is a whole different story. Sorry for derailing, back to your question: At £35 a ton, and lets say for argument £12.50 a ton delivery = £47.50 a ton, and assuming theres 25 ton on an artic, this load would be £1,187.50, which after processing I would have to sell for in excess of £3,500. That would not be easy. And yes, before you say "a 300% markup?", theres a lot of expense and labour converting cord into ten inch logs in a customers drive way, whether its apple ash or oak. So, IMO, Dave, £35-40 a ton, as it is less common than the "King of Fire Wood" - Ash. Egg.

I didnt know there was a 6.30 in the morning

Gas up 7-9% heating oil up 40ish% (supply and demand the cold snap)cordwood up 150% i cant see it in the long term imo

£75 a ton for cordwood, cheap!!? This would have to sell at between £225-£250 (if not more) a ton to make a profit after haulage, processing, delivery, wages etc. I cant see my customers paying that:thumbdown:

I want to burn it not eat it:001_tt2: and even though it is apple I still dont see how it can be 150% more expensive than ash (allegedly the King of firewood) or am I missing something. A mate of mine paid £30 per ton for apple and pear mixed earlier this year, from Wheldons of Sudbury when they grubbed up some of their orchards.

sounds expensive seeing as vikki on here is selling hardwood including ash £30 + vat per tonne roadside

I'll give you £35 per ton for the logged stuff:001_tt2:

Hi, taffi climber where about are you

Sorry, I should have been more specific, its for 50 ton of cord i.e. two loads.

As the title says - haulage needed from Hertfordshire into Sudbury Suffolk, or has anybody got any contacts that may be of use? Thanks in advance, Simon

Just been offered an artic load of seasoned chestnut(not put a moisture meter on it yet)the fella selling wants to sell by volume,which is fair enough by me.My question is, if the said artic would carry 25ish ton of unseasoned wood how many m3 of seasoned wood would be on the lorry?Thanks Simon. ps hope this makes sense

Hi Vikki, I would be interested in 3 artic loads of ash, ideally between 4&10 inch will have to sort out haulage but this shouldnt be a problem. Please could you call me on 07972393260 to discuss? Thanks, Simon.

hi, hullsmillfarm where abouts in north essex are you?

Hi all, I know its a long shot but has anyone got an artic or two of hardwood that they want to sell, I can arrange transport or will pay you to deliver into my yard. Good access available. Thanks, Simon

Anyone in Benfleet area, Essex, with a load of hard wood? I had a guy call me but its too far for me to go. If any one is interested, pm me with your phone number, and i will pass on his details to you. He asked for a cabstar/ transit load. Simon

hi all,where can i get a moisture meter,what sort of money do i need to spend to get a decent one,what makes do you use.Thanks Simon

be very careful reluctant,i think the old saying goes" act like a man and youll be treat like a man"

I rent a barn on a farm where there are two other firewood merchants,there are another three firewood merchants within barely a square mile, we all seem to get a living.I wouldnt worry about it,if your logs are good you wont have any problem selling them
