Competing for the firewood bundle market

[c5rulz]

I am not about to go to the bother of bundling wood, but made up a rack that the average person can haul. This rack measure 26 x 30 x 16-18" and will hold over 250 #'s of wood. I get $25 for this and people have been very happy with it. This is close to 1/6 th of a face cord.

Great idea C5...much better bang for the buck for the consumer than going the 'convenient store bundle' route. Hope ya sell 'em like hotcakes.

There is a guy by me that fills wheel barrows with wood . and puts them by the side of the road for $20. He sells a lot.

Who is your main market? Are they campers? Fire pit people? Just wondering?

There are several, hmm, at least around 4 I can think of, guys in town who sell their wood like that, stacked up in racks, for 10-20 bucks or so.. Myself, just some bundles at the local store and any bulk, they have to pick it up, I am not delivering bulk cords. If my market picks up a LOT, I would get a dump trailer, then maybe, but right now, no need. I can do a level bed full size box for around 40-50 depending on what it is, 50 for oak, 40 for mixed bag. Little road I live on, not enough traffic to garner any curbside sales like that (also this rural area is hardwood rich anyway, everyone has wood). Depends on your location I guess.

Both, firepits in town have become popular and campers. Today a person with a permanent site in a campground is getting a full cord.

I normally don't cut this time of year, but my logger buddies called me up yesterday and asked, "want some hickory". I couldn't resist.

I met them at lunch time and surprised them with brownies and ice cream. Served "logger style". Cut the pan of brownies in 6 pieces and divvied up 1 gallon of ice cream. Finished up the ice cream in one serving.
