    I can highly recommend oxdale log splitters, I've got one an it does everything I could ever want it to. Its a couple of years ago now, but the price was right as well. Google oxdale, I think they have quite a good website now.

    I can imagine strapping works much better, where's best to buy it from, what sort of strapping is best?

    Pallets I can aquire for free, its scrap pallets that I'm making kindling from, and theres always plenty of tidy ones. where to get industrial quantities of cling film from..... sounds like a good idea though as long as it can be done quickly enough. what do these machines cost?

    I do bag logs as well, I find that much quicker because it doesn't take as many to fill a bag as kindling does. thought about trying a chute like the kindlet has, might be better than reaching down through the bag to fill it.

    rotating pallet machine?
  6. pembswoodrecycling
    I agree with that, when I started doing it I was bagging them as I split them, moving to doing it in batches has made it much quicker, then when you get bored you can have a change of scenery for a bit! I might try having more than one though, sounds like a sound idea.

    I'm considering a simular thing with kindling, £70 seems to be about on the mark. any ideas on how best to keep them on the pallet though? .... (cling film etc)

    Firstly, thanks to everyone who commented on my last thread, some really helpful advice. Kindling sales are taking off, slowly but surely, and producing bigger quantities has helped me identify the bottle-neck in my system....Bagging! at the moment I pull a net over a square plastic tube, fill the tube with kindling (in the right orientation) and then pull the tube out, leaving the kindling behind. anyone got any ideas how I could do this quicker?

    what sort of price do you want to pay? I can get it for you in Carmarthenshire for £50 per Bulk bag

    Actually I've been finding that my biggest competitor is CPL, not terribly difficult to undercut. My USP is that all my kindling is made from recycled timber rather than virgin wood. I've seen the grants, they sound wonderful but I want to know that I can sell some product before I invest any more of my own money in it really. Really appreciating the support everyone!

    Thats what I tried to do first off, trouble around here is that all the garages are owned by a chain like Costcutter and the like.

    Thats a good idea, perhaps coming up to christmas the odd car boot sale or perhaps a cattle box full in a lay-by could generate some more sales

    That's what I'm trying to do, I approached a store local to me that is one of a Bain of about twenty. The manager was really interested and keen to buy but because of their system I have to go through their buyer, who doesn't seem to answer his phone, I left a message and four days later still no reply. Really desperate to get that one because I could supply all 20 stores.

    Hi, I'm based in pembrokeshire, west Wales, and it's actually my second season. I had two customers last year and sold maybe two hundred units all together. This year I want to expand.

    I'm new to the firewood game, only twenty years old and just setting up, producing carrot nets of kindling and netted logs. I've managed to get a couple of local shops interested but I'm struggling to generate any sort of sizeable sale. as far as I'm aware I'm not on anybody else's patch particularly (there are a couple of bulk load suppliers, but not kindling) Would be really greatful for any advice on how to generate more sales.... Thanks
