#4 Firewood Business - How to start one 

My primary business is handyman and yard maintenance while I build up wood inventory to sell starting next year. I see a TON of people who were sold wet wood that's WAY too big to burn. When I get going going to do well based on your advice! 😊

Great work ethic Chris, I enjoy your conversation. Graham UK

I like the straightforward factuals! My boyfriend and I are so sick of our desks jobs, so we delved into the idea of selling firewood! We live in a rural/suburban area with plenty of wood. We ourselves make a fire probably 2 or 3 nights out of the week for funsies, and we just love doing it! It would allow us to stay in shape, make money, allow us to spend time together we so desperately want, and be outside! We just have some saws, hoes, axes and chainsaws at the moment, but we'd love to grow and deliver bigger quantities eventually!

Those are the 4 exact questions I ask everytime I buy a load. You would be suprised at how difficult it has been the last 3 years to get a good load of wood. People sadly have no problem ripping someone off or lying. I wonder if they even think of the results of their actions? Great video!

i have also watched your first vid . this is great ideas 4 sure.

I started a firewood business with my boys this year. I cater to the same clients mostly fireplace or back yard fire pit in London Ontario. I found a good price point and sold all my wood in the middle of the summer. Already have repeat customers because the wood is dry, seasoned and split small like you do.

Great informative video about the biz end. Thank you. Please more of this

Very informative

hi my name david im in tasmaina about to start a wood business and your advice was really helpfull thanks

Great video, very informative. I’m just starting a firewood business, I bought a multiek wood processor . Not sure of the path this adventure will take me on so the business insight is appreciated.

This is the first video of yours that I've watched. Awesome information in this video and I am subscribing to your channel! Thanks for sharing! I need help with knowing how to price the different types of wood like oak, Hickory, poplar, Bradford Pear, pine, gum.... I know pine and gum would be cheaper but you get the point lol, I don't know how to put a fair competitive price on the wood.

I get dump trucks of logs, all hardwood from local tree services for free. They dump them in the front yard every 3 days or so. It helps me out and saves them the 200 dollar landfill fee.

Good trick at 15:27 piece of wood u threw back sticks straight up lol

Bro this really help me bro I'm berly staring in California..my buddy gots a little ranch like you were saying rent out a little piece yeeee ..

Brycat Firewood love's "In the wood yard"

Thanks Chris. A question--do you cover your piles at any stage so they are not rain wet? (Sorry if you have covered this already in another video.) Thanks.

You should sale both dry and green...1 dry and 1 green... give a discount for the green... people like to feel like they have gotten a deal...call it next year's fire wood.

thats the problem around here albany, ny area. , kids with a pickup and a saw selling fresh cut green wood. that dont burn, so people they buy from 'stewarts shops ' bagged kiln dried wood. @7.79 plus tax for like 10 small split pieces. mostly for back yard fire pits and solo stoves. its crazy. i know people with chain saws but would rather just buy it. i need some more land and i will start my own business. iv been delivering soda for 18 years . i know customer service. got the truck and saws. just need a splitter. start with friends and neighbors. thanks for video.

hi enjoy your video. i own a 562xp you have filter problems when cutting dry oak?

7:04 that chuck almost looked fake 🤣

CHRIS WHAT IS THE LENGTH OF A ROUND? AND THANK YOU FOR THE INFORMATION CONCERNING THE VERIOUS WAYS OF STARTING A FIREWOOD BUBINESS

A friend of mine sells wood to kwik trips all around southeastern wisconsin. He mainly does residential wood sales but he makes a good amount of money doing that. Helps that he has a kiln and a full processor.

Hi chris: would you like some silage bag plastic for cover your wood?

I live out in the prairies in Canada Alberta. My only source of wood would come from logging trucks delivering it to my farm. I have the space and the equipment to start a firewood business but I’m worried about the distance for the logging trucks. If it is at all possible to do it this way I would really like to start a firewood business but it obviously has to make sense. There is a lot of campgrounds near me and not many firewood businesses in the area I do believe I can sell the firewood though. If anybody can give me any feedback that would be great. I really enjoy this channel it looks so fun

Hello. I am a viewer from Kazakhstan. What brand do you have a camcorder?

Chris, thanks for the video. I'm in the process of putting my firewood business together. I'm able to slow roll the process since it is a sideline business for me as well. I have property so space is not an issue. Do you age your wood on the ground or is all that wood on pallets? I'm setting up my wood yard and want to make it as functional as possible. Thanks!

What sort of photography are you into, I probably should know this,

I went back to the beginning and video 2 & 3 are missing.

🤘

I thought it was the customers job to season the wood lmao ;)

when are you going to have a chain sharping viedo

7:04 wow

I guess if your burning in a in door fireplace any kind of wood is ok

Is the piece of cherry still standing??

How do you get wood?

How much do you charge for a face cord

Do you have any restaurant businesses that you supply that cook with wood year round and looking for specific types ? Appleton is a nice area . I have picked up a fire truck built there .

So people don't just steal the wood from the firewood stands?

No good night Irene lol

It sucks for me in Waushara County. Maybe 80-85,000 people. Will have to concentrate on the camping market.

Am I the only one who seen him flip a piece of wood like he was attempting the bottle flip challenge. And land it. Time stamp 7.00

Do you need a business license to do this?

A dozen or so bundles on a weekend to rhe campground is piddly. We do 200+ a night on the weekends

U gotta talk to ohio wood burner guy . He's in way over his head .

FYI........You can't legally sell firewood by the 'face cord'. Wisconsin, and most States, have adopted the NIST standards ( National Institute of Standards and Technology, United States department of commerce) which prohibits sale of firewood by any measurement other than the cord (or fraction there of...like a 1/3 of a cord or a 1/2 cord) or some kind of cubic foot or meter measurement. 2.4.4. Prohibition of Terms. - The terms “face cord,” “rack,” “pile,” “truckload,” or terms of similar import shall not be used when advertising, offering for sale, or selling wood for use as fuel. (NIST Handbook 130) Are the Weights and Measures folks gonna come after you ? Probably not, unless they get a complaint....but if you're in the firewood biz, you ought to be aware of the law, and stay with it.
