How much does it cost you to produce firewood from cord
defender tipper replied to william petts's topic in Firewood forum
Hers my typical costings cord £27 a cube running of splitter on tractor £2 per cube running saws £2 per cube so that gives me a cube of split logs on the truck for around £31 then the delivery based on an average of £5 worth of diesel and another £3 for the running costs on the truck,so dropped on the customers drive im looking at about £40 and selling at £90 gives me a miserly £50, thats without building costs insurance advertising, double handling on what goes in the drying shed and thats without going in to useing the proccessor, yeh goes on and on no wonder I got holes in me boots. -

Do all wood moisture meters read the same moisture%?/
defender tipper replied to cessna's topic in Firewood forum
I have 3 of the things,none of them read the same,variations of up to 10% so whats the point,always said they were a gimmick,they can tell a soaking wet log from a dry one and thats it,I have already had them come out with the meter, and delivered a few loads and they have left them in a mouldy old wet shed for a week then called me to come and take a look at there now 38%mc logs,,the whole thing is going to be a nightmare
