  1. no thats timber thats been air dried for 6 mths kiln dried is obviously a bit less weight moisture is around the low 20s people burn as soon as buying from us.

     

    no im not joking i have a certified weighbridge on site and weighing them thats the weight that we got them to i don't think 280 kg for a builders bag overflowing is particularly heavy is it ? for us having a weighbridge it seams logical to sell on weight on decent orders.

     

    barnsley bob a load of cord comes on a 80m2 lorry stacked and you get 52m2 split ??? the 1m2 crates of kiln dried on ebay weigh 500kg so i thing 600kg is about right.

  2. We have got a massive stockpile of air dried logs maybe 100-200 ton plus.

    All cut and split all hard wood what price should i be selling them lose for we obviously sell logs, by the builders bag nets and cubes but not by weight normally but i want to get in to the wholesale market. we have weighed a bulk bag and a m3 crate

     

    A net roughly 11-15 kg

    A builders bag is 280-300 kg

    A 1 m3 crate is 580-600 kg

     

    So on a load of say a ton would around £120 be about the right price or £140 delivered ?

     

    any thoughts ?

  3. Then he was an idiot! Not a lot anyone can do to stop people like that trying to kill themselves.

    On a hycrack if you keep the point of the cone just to the left of the centre of the log and only place your hands at the back and left of the log it WILL NOT bite you, in fact most of the time you end up letting go of the log as soon as the point has taken hold, it then just pulls itself on.

    As I say this is on a hycrack, can't speak for other types of cone splitter.

     

     

    Cone splitters are far to dangerous for today's type of business there is as fast equipment and 10 times safer cone splitters in the mode experienced hands can still nip and bite like any splitter just far less forgiving

  4. As more stoves are put in more briquette machines get fitted to joinery workshops and the more i see signs saying logs for sale every man and dog is on the logs for sale band wagon.

     

    I buy briquettes from 2 different suppliers the dust in the bag is not normally a sign of a good or bad briquette in my opinion i sell 1000s of m2 a year of logs so im biased towards logs and i would say there is allot more consistency with briquettes I pay £1.50 for 15kg leaves a nice profit margin but it also affects the log sales as some people are going for a couple of nets and a bag of briquetts.

     

    as for trading standards setting a standard for logs are you koking 1 wet night with a damp log or raining when delivering then and we would all be issuing full refunds and end up in court .
