    A Ton is an imperial measurement of 2240 lbs (1016kg) A Tonne is a metric measurement of 1000 kgs I didn't write Tonne so I'm pretty sure thats the missing 16kg you didnt understand. some of us still measure in inches instead of cm too.

    fine its irrelevant in the context of this discussion if you want to be pedantic
  3. Logsnstuff
    energy is irrelevant its about costs to produce and the price to buy in cord is getting closer and closer to hardwood prices selling softwood 30% 50% cheaper is not sustainable.
  4. Logsnstuff
    sounds like a good days work, even the coal merchants are complaining up here now the orders are so scarce
  5. Logsnstuff
    I haven't ordered softwood in 2 years but last I was told it was costing £30 £35 a ton hardwood is only £40 how do you manage £25 a bag difference

  8. Logsnstuff
    depends if your logs are better quality
  9. Logsnstuff
    I don't charge delivery you just wont get any logs if you don't order enough for me to bother.

    I get 53 bags 0.75m from an artic load fresh felled beech water running out of the wood when the forwarder picks it up. weight per bag in the post above. so almost £1,200 delivered in and retails out £4,982 £6,042 if its barrow bags.
  12. Logsnstuff
    I weighed fresh felled beech 2 weeks ago 498kg a bag 0.75m3 and a ton is only 1016kg so 2 cube is too much
  13. Logsnstuff
    thats what I was thinking, unless its undeclared cash I can't see the point in working for free.
  14. Logsnstuff
    whats your profit out of £60?
  15. Logsnstuff
    I had 150 200 ton in my yard guy didnt want it for free to chip and my customers didnt want it even seasoned 2 years gave out very little heat, so bonfired it last year wont go near poplar again.

    £94.00 .75m3, £38.00 .25m3 barrow bag, £4.95 60ltr sack, £7.95 80ltr sack and I charge the same whether its softwood or hardwood. cord here £35 a ton roadside in Nov and £40 in Feb prices your paying down south insane.
  17. Logsnstuff
    I was cutting fresh felled beech last week a 0.73m3 bag weighs in 498kg
  18. Logsnstuff
    I'm just telling my customers the top 2/3 of the bag are around 18% and the bottom is soaked with 4 months solid rain 24-30% mc, most of them are still happy only 2 complained so far and 1 of them was after money off before we even delivered.
  19. Logsnstuff
    £7.00 here and £10 if you want weighed after you empty. for years we used to tell people who would phone up wanting a ton of wood delivered to get weigh tickets don't think any of them ever did but the majority now are starting to ask the volume of bags which is something.

    I have the knitted ones and they hold their shape better than the mosquito haven't used them long enough though to judge on their drying.
  21. Logsnstuff
    I use Industrial & Mill Moisture Meter | Industrial Moisture Tester
  22. Logsnstuff
    I only know 6 or 7 people who have used them 1 liked them the rest didn't that was enough for me not to bother.
  23. Logsnstuff
    I thought they were about about £3,250 now
  24. Logsnstuff
    I went small with the logs and the result was small customer base so I'm going back to chunky for next season and they can split them smaller as needed.
