[@ronniecrook6313]

You are spot on about having enough wood to sale all season. You can not sale fron an empty cart.Cut more wood.The more you have, the more you can sale. Keep up the hard work Chris.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Exactly!

[@rickdesrochers7787]

I have 2 campgrounds by my place I am established in one and am trying to get into the other Great video! Tons of advice!

[@InTheWoodyard]

You can do it! Thanks for watching!

[@angelikafreeman8975]

I lined up 70 chord worth of firewood sales in 2 days on Facebook marketplace...love the channel

[@trevorgeraets1179]

What did you charge for the wood?

[@InTheWoodyard]

Awesome, thanks!

[@InTheWoodyard]

I get $120 a face (1/3) of a cord. I am interested in what Angelika charges too!

[@cowboyjoyandtheRoughCuts]

How many weird customers and NO shows did you get?

[@aldredske6197]

Good morning Chris!!😀😀

[@InTheWoodyard]

Hello there Al!

[@saltrock9642]

I’m keeping it at a hobby level but who knows what’s gonna happen when I upgrade my splitter. It’s great to have the option to grow. Thanks for the loads of advice.

[@InTheWoodyard]

I said that once too!!!

[@WilleysFirewood]

All good advice. I advertise only on marketplace and with word of mouth. I try to sell mixed hardwood only to keep from handling it so much. Our stands are filled 3 times per week. Remember a little bit everyday goes a long way!

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yes , yes and YES!

[@coreyriley7160]

G’morning Chris. I’m up to 8-1/2 full cords this year. No advertising for me, just repeats. Great advice today !! Thanks. GoodNightIrene

[@InTheWoodyard]

Morning! Good work my good man!

[@michelsauve6264]

[@InTheWoodyard]

There are lots of them!

[@bobbysoza3798]

Top of the morning Chris and thanks for sharing some really good information once again have a great Friday!!

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks Bobby!

[@donmcgimpsey1706]

I always enjoy listening to firewood advice to all the entrepreneurs out there but today you demonstrated a new skill - herding cats !

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, food works!

[@davidedwards3734]

Great advice!! This year may be a little tough from Hurricane Helene downing so many trees. Im cutting, splitting and getting ready for when they need wood!! Stay Hydrated and Have a Safe Day

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, free wood is good for you unless everyone has some!

[@BeavertonFamilyFirewood]

Chris, a funny one that relates to your point #3. We had a customer wanting to buy "ironwood". I guess some new immigrants from high tech industry googled what was the most dense firewood and that's what they asked. Nevermind that it does not grow here, we mostly have softwoods....

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, I have had people ask for wood that does not grow here too!

[@ScottWise-l8x]

Always love your videos. It was great meeting and talking with you at the live stream and at bunyan show. Scott Wise, The Wise choice syrup and firewood in N.Y.

[@InTheWoodyard]

[@cutNdryfirewood]

You share good advice. I show up daily to learn. Thank you 😊👍

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks for watching!

[@briannelson4493]

I’m late watching today another good day of splitting and cutting.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks for stopping in!

[@BeavertonFamilyFirewood]

On the subject of having enough wood, we are trying the tiered approach. We deliver full cords until october, then smaller 1/3 cord limit (since we deplete our atock), and finally we do self-service stand only. We can't make enough wood here to deliver cord quantities year round. Of course, the prices are structured too, full cords are a bit cheaper then face cords, and stand is a little more expensive too.

[@InTheWoodyard]

I would not discount additional wood, it is the same work and time for each cord. And if you are running out you might need to raise your prices a bit.

I sold year around but customer could come pick it up at lot constantly splitting had people splitting when I was selling plus i would split also really busy on weekends for customer pickup cause people work and Saturday only day to get it 3/5 loads on Saturday a person then during week busy also had people come get wood for resale to deliver it to them been busy as all get out found out you don't own your lot big difference from my firewood sales i was at the tree company home base thanks Chris always good info people need to sell something they get ahold of you like me gift to gab biggest seller have a good weekend my friend 10:11

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks for watching Kevin!

[@jandblawncare8570]

I was unable to cut anything this spring but had 2-3 cords from last year and had 1 new and 1 returning customer and it was gone. It was such a frustrating, helpless feeling I said this will never happen again! So since July/August Ive managed to cut and split about 40 full cords and hopefully I can reach my goal of 50+ full cords before the snow flies, cut and split for next year. We dont have the volume of people where I live so Id be just fine selling on average about 30 full cords a season. My goal after next year is getting a splitter that can put out more wood, my ULTRA is a great, fast splitter but can only put out so much wood using a 4 way or single wedge.

[@InTheWoodyard]

50 cords is a great goal...if you sell it for $300 per cord that is $15,000 !!! Not to shabby!

[@jameschandler2776]

I cut wood everyday because it is here and I love to do it. So does everyone else in my area, I split 2 cords of large hickory yesterday. It keeps me off the streets.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Awesome, working the streets is more dangerous!

[@Fowledcollective]

My current struggle is having enough wood. I can’t even hit marketplace yet cause I can’t keep up. Next purchase is as Ultra! Best part, I’m only 2 hours from their shop!

[@InTheWoodyard]

That is awesome....your prices might be to low??

[@Fowledcollective]

@@InTheWoodyard I’m on par with everyone else in my area. It’s just the network of people I’ve got into, I just can’t keep up! Good problem to have!

Hey Chris, what tool is used to do that neat job on the beard ? Curious George wants to know. 😁😁 Love the wood cats.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Just a electric hair trimmer a couple times a month.

[@annaaron3510]

@@InTheWoodyard Looks nice well trimmed. ( for a Woodyard star ). Damn, I use a scissors...typical for us rubes.

[@MicahHughes-y9t]

You’d think the chimney sweeps wouldn’t like you and your beautiful, clean-burning wood, no creasote for them to brush off, guys selling the nasty-crap keep them busy! 😁

[@jandblawncare8570]

Or makes their job that much easier for the same price.

[@MicahHughes-y9t]

That’s true, but if the customers saw their chimney/ stove pipe, probably wouldn’t call them that year

[@jandblawncare8570]

Im in for a real treat Sunday....In-Laws haven't had their stove pipe cleaned ever in 7 seasons now of burning wood and they have it going from now til May non stop, they're old and like 90F living rooms lol

[@InTheWoodyard]

I think they prefer safe customers who do it right...regular cleaning and check-ups.

[@InTheWoodyard]

yup
