  1. I buy offcuts that are sorted for me. Use the circular saws with a trough so push 8-10 pieces of waste a time through into a box next to the kindling machine. Do 3 cube get bored, then do three hours on the kindling machine, get bored, load the bags onto a trailer and deliver. Then start again. From start to finish we can do around 50 bags an hour, I pay £20-£30 a cube, but the wood is well sorted and stacked neatly on a pallet, it is kiln dried so gets processed and then straight out, consistent and although not a huge profit keeps us ticking over.

  2. Busier now than in Feb-March. Just done accounts and still investing everything i earn, two more purchases and hopefully next year I will start making a little coin! Kindling going better than logs (maybe all the logs are wet around here?:) and need a bit of persuasion with a few sticks). I am a chimney watcher and there are a lot of fires been lit around here at the moment (sad i know), much busier than this time last year.

  3. Depends on local council. Stoke you can sell from a lay-by. North Wales Police will have you and fine you, Nantwich area you will get fined. Looked into selling sticks roadside when on my holiday, appears each council is different, ring and ask. You can sell over a fence next to a lay-by if it is your land, it's all bonkers.

  4. looks like a good idea to me, saves time waiting for the RAM to return, is it German if so i may have had a circular saw from them, all it says is GMBH which is also at the start of this advert on youtube the saw i have is blue and very good, used for kindling production

  5. Depends what time you go to bed :) I have put three on my villager on a hot bed and closed it right down, and yes there was still bits glowing in the morning, and with the addition of some kindling the fire was up and roaring again. Too many factors to say for sure if this would be the case with your burner. However, what i can say is that all the logs sold so far have had positive feedback, certainly regarding the amount of heat they give off.
