At them prices petrol aand chain oil would there be much difference in buying the timber in ton bags off some crowd
Well speaking from someone who's been felling, blocking, splitting, seasoning and selling firewood, unless you're getting the trees for free and conveniently, don't bother pulling the cord on a saw.At them prices petrol aand chain oil would there be much difference in buying the timber in ton bags off some crowd
Ah but you'd get the heat twice having to cut and chop them yourself [emoji106]At them prices petrol aand chain oil would there be much difference in buying the timber in ton bags off some crowd

I can picture it now, the wife outside warming herself with the chainsaw instead of nagging that the house is cold, a win win situation
Often heard of them being dangerous with the frying pan now imagine them with a cchainsaw
This isn't a commercial venture, I want to build up a stockpile to burn myself. You're saying split hardwood in bags is around €360/t, so would €250/t be a reasonable price?Very hard to know, from what I see firewood is little different in price from any other year despite everything else rising,coal has doubled . firewood may be scarce after a while as people have bought more/earlier than usual I believe.see what it would cost delivered locally and decide what you want for your time spent splitting then subtract that,then offer a bit less.builders bags are around 80 euro and contain about 220kg of dry hardwood
I haven't a clue, that's why I'm asking, I would have never quantified the amount of sticks I was splitting per hour here or there as the heap was just getting bigger and that was enough for me.I would think that's too much to pay if you value your time at all.
110 euro to split 4.5 bags which is min. three hours work with a good set up and in reality probably 5 hours work not including collecting the timber.a tractor and log splitter isn't dear to run but it's not free either.
The big thing if paying by the ton is moisture contentl.
I think hardwood from the forest is around 80/ton maybe plus haulage and that's straight stuff that's easier to process

The timber owner already owes me money for services rendered, hence I was wondering what said timber was worth, before I go looking for payment.In situations like you mention ,
Your acquaintance has a pile of timber or a tree ,
You could do with the firewood that would be the result of cutting up same .
What's it worth to you ?
One says x .
Other agrees , or doesent .
I'll give you y .
Or , you cut a hedge , plough a garden , or something else for timber owner .
Everyone is better off.
Talk to each other .
There's a fair bit of work to cut up timber , so it's rarely worth mega money in its raw state .
