Mornin y’all. I split 10-12 cords a year and I love the fact that each cord is spoken for as it’s split. One lady wants her cord every April because she wants it in her wood shed out the weather. That shed is made of old tin and it gets really hot during the day and dries the wood nicely.
Nice talk Chris. You know a lot more than just how to operate a processor, chainsaw, splitter or tractor. I assume Mrs Woodward deserves the credit for being the book keeper and has a purse full of Benjamins to show for it. Same here. GNI
I live on a farm in Central NY State, in a very rural area. I heated with wood for 32 years in my old farmhouse and I lost that house in a fire in 2012. Built a new modular 1400 sq. feet on a full poured foundation basement. No wood, only oil. I missed the wood heat however so this past year I had a new Regency wood stove and chimney installed by a competent dealer. The stove is in the basement; I can pretty much heat most of the house, most of the time. I have tractors, chainsaws, a wood splitter, and a 100 acre woodlot. As I slowly return to the wood heating world, I realize how much different wood heat feels than an oil furnace. I’m not trying to save money, I’m trying to stay warm! Firewood around here typically sells for $60-80 a face cord. Looks like I’ll need about 15 f.c to get through a winter. Also wanted that wood stove to not be dependent on electricity for our frequent power outages. I like your videos and have learned a few tweaks and tricks from you!
Chris - I’m a big fan of the channel and really enjoy all of your videos. I have to tell you though, you really hit it out of the park with this one!! Excellent advice about customer service for anyone selling firewood (or anything for that matter). Your customers are lucky to have you! Thank you for another great video! 🙌
Good day Chris , excellent answers to many questions you must receive. You know you’re business and clientele that’s what counts. Exceptional! Cheers my friend 👌🏻🔥🇨🇦
Good Morning Chris and all the woodyard. I have found out that when I use to sell firewood that my regular customers would buy all there winter wood from me in the summer or fall. Others that used a fire place and for weekend fire would call me in the fall for the one cord or more.
Appreciate you sharing. I'm currently in a marketing class for school so this info is insightful. Also, I've made the most elaborate roadside bundle stand before. So I like the simplicity of this business. Keep it up 👍
I live in SE Ohio, in the Hocking Hills. It is all forest and a vacation, tourist area. You can't give wood away because there is so much of it. The only way to get any money out of wood is to sell bundles to campers. 20 years ago, I was making $1100 a weekend selling to campers. Now there are 12 firewood stands between the main town to the camping areas, so I quit selling that. I have a lot of hickory on my place, so I sell smoker wood now. There are markets, you just have to be willing to adapt. This area is also a poor Appalachian area, so when the tourists aren't here, there is no money. Many, many people cut firewood to survive and the prices are low. You cannot make a living selling firewood at the prices they charge. You have to haul it 45 miles to Columbus. Then you lose so much time in travel and gas.
