#2 Firewood Business - How to make money 

That's what she said!

Good Stuff, just watched 3 of your videos while babysitting middle school kids in In-school suspension. LOL I'm a Health $ Physical Education teacher in Central PA, I coach Football and track, landscape from April -Nov, plow snow, and cut wood. My son and I bought a 2020 Polaris Ranger for 17k in FEB when Covid hit. My 70 year old neighbor was clearing out some tree lots on his farm and I started cutting, splitting and stacking for my back yard fire pit and to help him out labor wise. Then I said to my 14 year old son, lets sell some firewood to help pay for the Ranger, I cut and split from Feb to June. My neighbor had an old chicken coop, he says, why don't you stack in here, next thing you know a year later, I just sold my last cord yesterday. We sold 25 dump trailer loads, just shy of a full cord for $190 each. People are still contacting me and Im sold out, I have 5 cord cut awhile for next year, but "YOU CAN NEVER HAVE TOO MUCH FIREWOOD". I am addicted to cutting, splitting, and stacking wood. We will soon run out bc his lot is about half cleaned out. Thinking about contacting an old HS friend who owns a sawmill about 15 miles from my home. Would like to see what trash wood he has that I can make into $$$$$. Thanks again for your insight and information. Feel we are on the same page.

I have a fireplace and I like a good mixture of wood sizes. I work 5 days on and 5 days off. On my days off I like to burn a fire kinda for heat and kinda for fun. I like the big stuff for long burns and smaller stuff for my wife, I also like lots of 3-5” rounds they’re nice for packing the fireplace and shutting the doors before bed time.

Just found your channel. Was wondering at first why it was split so small, like cook stove wood. Never thought about fireplaces. Like your video.

I burn mostly Ash and really enjoy it....

Great commentary. I was confused and panicking because I got to episode 16 and it jumped back to episode 2. I was bugged out🤪😵

New sub from Australia 🇦🇺 . Great videos.

Thank you for your videos. Im starting, where can i buy bulk firewood. Tx

Just found u great videos I would ask my dad why do we have to split wood so small and he would say it's easier for your mom to handle 😉

12 face cords a year. Wait so am I doing the conversion correctly, isnt that like 43m3?

Great videos! Very informative and great insight. I just had my 10 acre Pine forest logged this summer and am left with some massive slash piles with plenty of good firewood timber. I had a stand of Eucalyptus trees (blue gum) in the way of some of the pine so had the forestry contractor fell them and haul them up the hill next to my hay shed. All up I have about 15 Gum trees that were about 30 year old on the ground ready for splitting. I am struggling to cut efficiently as it is a hard wood. I thought it was my sharpening skills but when i cut the pine my chain cuts ok. Does any one have suggestion for the best chain type for cuttinghardwood? the logs are relatively clean of dirt so was considering going full chisel? . I am using a Husqvarna 572xp with a 24inch bar. I started selling 2 winters ago and looking at pushing myself and expanding the business. Great business advice many thanks from New Zealand!

I am in coastal sc. Selling firewood. My biggest problem is the summer heat and humidity. Cutting, splitting and stacking is a nightmare. I've tried canopies for shade, starting early ,later in the day and can only last an hour or two. In the spring, fall and winter i can go all day. Any recommendations how to beat the heat in the summertime?

Loving your videos, love bucking, splitting firewood myself. I split by hand and it's almost all maple syrup wood so 2". If I could start a small firewood business I would love that. In my area everyone sells wood so cheap though... doesn't help that all the ash are dead which makes up most of the wood for sale.

Have you ever come across any Osage Orange? My absolute favorite to burn

Greetings from central PA ! Really enjoying your videos. I cut mainly for my wood furnace , thinking about starting to sell it . Thanks for the info .

True story .

i would like your opinion on locust as bundle wood thanks

Love your videos man good advice . i love cutting for my own use and thinking of selling some wood on the side.

I sold truck loads of firewood cheep and some one came when i was not home and stold truck load of wood and i was pissed

if your looking for free logs you could contact your local tree service put adds in paper and merchindiser

So far I have sold everything by mid September... Here in the Pacific NW we have lots of Douglas Fir, cedar and maple.. We do have some some birch and oak but not much around..

I know people ask for 16 inch and 23 inch. How many different sizes do they ask for?

here in the Netherlands there are many who either burn pellets or wood, but the stoves generally only have a small heating place, so 30 cm is the max. I even have a remmet wood chopper running here that cut max eight to 18 cm

My Friend a Customer is a one time sale a Client infers a Relationship!

Awesome videos! Do you cover your split wood to let it age or leave it in the rain for a year or 2?

How do you go about finding someone or a company to buy/bring you your truck loads of wood you buy?

I would have liked to know your pricing.

Great video series. Some good information.

Im slowly building my wood business, for when i retire, and am curious what you pay for a load of logs.

Where do you buy your bulk wood?

You remind me Goldmember from Austin Powers. But instead "I love gold" you would be "I like wooooooooooooooooood...... the look of it, the smell of it, the taste of it" hahaha. Love your videos Chris! Merry Christams

365. "Face cords" is roughly 121 full cords

Can justify your prices by proving to the customers it's way cheaper to burn wood. I crunched the numbers and just published a video proving it. Check it out - curious of your feedback. I don't sell wood but am passionate about salvage and the savings. Cheers.

I can’t help it. This could be a casting commercial. On the serious side lots of good information. How much do you pay for a truckload?

How many thats what she said jokes came to mind?

The man has a nice size wood

Man Thank you for this information here in the South the old people I grew up with bun big wood but its make Sense About small wood thanks 😊

What do you charge for your different kinds of wood. I'm trying to start a little side business in Pennsylvania. Just wondering what I should charge. Just found your channel a couple days ago and I can't stop watching the videos. Keep up the good work. Very inspirational

I’m interested in having a firewood business here in the Pacific Northwest of the United States !

Essay

Do you cover the wood to keep it dry? How do you deliver, in a pickup truck or a dump trailer?

How much do you typically pay for 1 truckload of logs ?

A lot of good information here. Thank You for sharing this with us.

Thank you for this great series!

Pyromaniac lol

And smaller gets your customers back quicker (the real reason)

How much is a facecord in Cubicmeters Very good videos

Your whole premise seems shady

Your wood looks like the stuff you buy at the convenience store..a bundle will burn in an hour..

What is the price for a face cord?
