    Another great video Dan. I did a video using AJ's 1/3 cord bags, and then another showing how well the wood dried. While those larger bags are great for larger quantities, this new smaller bag definitely has a market. I'm finding more and more customers looking for small quantity deliveries... this would be perfect.

      Thanks OG! I was thinking about you and if you'd be able to convert your one customer to something like this instead of his covered racks that you refill. I think these bags could be pulled out of the back of a truck by hand...not sure but I'm gonna test that theory here soon. 😀

      @@Back40Firewood Based on a quick calculation I'm thinking the bags would weigh around 250-300 lbs. max for dry wood. That could easily be pulled out of a pickup or dump trailer by hand. My airbnb customer wants it stacked in racks for the "look". It's not bad because I can back right up to the racks.

    Those are incredibly useful. I've got an Airbnb rental in the mountains of Maine that we have a wood stove in, I'm always hauling up IBC totes from my primary residence and then manually unloading them into a firewood rack at the camp. These will put an end to all of that!

    You are so very right Dan. People want smaller Firewood and that Bag is the Solution to it. They could keep it, even on the Outside and Protected from the Elements.

    These are pretty cool, thanks for sharing the new product. For every full IBC tote I bundle, I end up with a 30 or so pieces that are just a little too small, this would be perfect to collect those chunks and sell a larger bag bag of them or like you say wheel them over for my personal burning needs. Have a great Sunday Sir!

    Genius. You have shared alot of great info Dan, but this is a great idea for those in Urban areas and cities. Here in Ontario/Canada, you can not have an open fire in your backyard but you can have , in many area, a chiminea or similar receptacle, to enjoy a backyard fire. Like me, most don't want or need a face cord at a time but having a bag like this (9CF) to move around easily makes alot of sense. Those with passive wood stoves may also want smaller quantities, easily moved around, instead of long wood piles on the side of the house. Thanks for sharing! Great product and a great new option for firewood companies trying to serve customers in cities/urban areas. Cheers and Merry Christmas!

    Thank you or posting your videos during my "coffee hour".
    The bags are certainly a good in-between solution, fitting nicely in size between the large "super-sacks" and the smaller bundle wood bags.
    Someone could even fit 2 or 3 of those in the back of SUV, if needed.
    Q: Assuming you leave the bag at a customers location, how would a firewood seller arrange for "recycling" the bag?
    Seems a shame not to get another use out of it, or, just include cost of the bag in the overall fee, if the customer wants to re-use it?
    Assuming a sall firewood supplier may not have a tractor and forks, I envision a 2x4 rack/frame with hooks, to hold the bag up and open for filling.
    Maybe a rack on wheels? maybe a rack affixed to the handcart?

      Return bags for discount. Add cost into the product price

    • @Back40Firewood
      @Back40Firewood  12 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา

      I think a deposit would need to be put in place to encourage customers to either return the bags or swap them out when reordering. Exchanging the bags would be easier if you are making the delivery, but if the customer is picking up it might not be as easy to get the bag back...so would either need a deposit of build the cost of the bag into the price of the wood.

    • @AroundTheYard-MN
      @AroundTheYard-MN 12 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา

      Weight is going to depend on how seasoned the wood is. Green or wet wood weighs a lot more than dry seasoned wood. Charging the customer for the Barrow Bag depends on how you run your business model. You could add the cost on to the wood price or you could treat it as a deposit system, extra money up front and then when they return the bag they get a money back. - How much you say… For more information and to get yourself some Firewood Barrow Bags contact Shaver Sales Inc, additional details on how to contact Mr. Shaver in the description of this video. Hope this helps, have a great day Around the Yard.

I have specific questions because he uses the bags therefore he should be able to give me the Pacific answers I asked for I didn't want random answers I could have went to shaver and and done that that's no big deal but he's using them he should have the answers!

      About the same as what AroundTheYard said...weight will depend on what type of wood and how dry it is. If I were to do this I would have a deposit for the bag and then when customer reordered swap out the bags. Pricing for bags is on Shaver's website that is linked in video description, think for 20 bags price is between $8-$9 each.
      And you could do both....either leave the bag, or dump the bag out at the customer's place.
