I like the flexibility of storing in IBC totes due to the ability to move without touching the firewood again. I’m getting my first load today from another firewood supplier who is delivering & stacking in my totes. Tim in northern TN
For sure. That's what I'm doing currently am buying firewood from my neighbor. Took totes down to his house and we are loading them directly into the totes, while still on the trailer!
You should consider getting some heavy duty rubber matting to have your wood delivered on - would save the washing step. Dunno if you have any mining operations in your area but the 4ft wide conveyor belts they discard once they're a little wore out are golden (and usually free)
Im just a bit south of you is my guess i have had to buy pre split even preseasoned wood before. Name of the game if you can buy low enough and sell at the right price thats ehat matters! Or just even break even on some to not lose specific customers
If you are in a uber wealthy market and have the types of firewood for smoking and heating, there is plenty of "meat left on the bone" to make re-selling processed firewood profitable. Re-splitting, proper seasoning, delivery, wheelbarrowing and stacking is how I add value to a low cost commodity. Great customer service is the last and main ingredient to firewood success. CL Nashville firewood for sale to see what I mean.
So confusing for many that too often people do not measure in REAL CORDS. Face, rick, bush, banana cord, are all not specific. One CORD=- 4'x4'x8'. Only metric is different internationally BUTT a cord.
I'm a little confused here. You're BUYING split firewood, re-splitting some of it, and then trying to sell it yourself? I wouldn't think that there would be enough "meat on the bone" for the guy you bought it from as well as you both making money. Or have I misinterpreted something here? Shoot, I bought two 10-cord truckloads of logs last Summer and paid 140.00 per cord for just logs. By the time I bucked it into rounds and split it, even if I get 300.00 per cord of split firewood, I don't think I'm making enough money at 160.00 per cord for my time. If my math makes sense to you.
I get what you are saying. I only sell this firewood in my roadside stand. I've been keeping meticulous record of inventory sold and revenue from inventory. In the end, I average $600 of revenue per full cord of firewood sold. So, in my opinion there's lots of room to make it work. Sure, I'd love to buy loads of logs and buck and split it. Right now, i don't have the time and paying for pre-split firewood saves me some time.
@@OutdoorsEngineer Maybe I haven't seen enough of your videos. I'm guessing that if you're getting 600.00 per cord, you're primarily (or exclusively) selling bundles? If that's the case, the math makes sense to me. What are you selling, .75 cubic ft. bundles?

That's a great deal!
Buying split wood is probably smart. IBC's are great if you have the space.
It's definitely a time saver!

Thanks for the tip! If I got another, I've considered my black top driveway!

Link to the new bags you get- I got the bags from amazon too and they don't last like you said --please thanks

One face cord is 1/3 of a cord, or 42.667 cubic foot, or 16" x 4' x 8'. Not confusing.
