Day 124 - Day in the life of a FIREWOOD PRODUCER

[@johnchapman9700]

Hi Archie, my wife's grandfather once said to me, "Don't worry about it, it might not ever happen." I would have thought that selling all those bags would be a good thing not something to worry about.

Oooh, what a treat, an Oak Farm Firewood vid just in time for my tea-time watching. Nice!

[@paulb2378]

Smells like roasted logs 🪵. You can’t beat that! Like the clink of dried wood. Lovely

[@Clare-qs7qs]

A great video with lots of variety, loved it!

[@oakfarmfirewood]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@rossf4313]

Looking forward to the apf first one for me. Fingers crossed for good weather

[@woodnewf3847]

Hope you get helpers back soon. Nice pile of wood. I always hope to run out of firewood before Christmas. Ya snooze, ya lose. 😂 Great video

[@oakfarmfirewood]

Haha yeah! So not worried about making the new year money?

[@woodnewf3847]

@@oakfarmfirewood having a cash flow management plan/projection is important. I also do logging and land clearing so that generates a revenue stream along with revenue from chips and sawlogs. Plus I seldom pay for logs for firewood unless my forestry operation doesn't generate enough because of sites heavy in softwood or shitty timber. Plus an empty firewood yard is great for filling up again for the next burning season. 🔥

Glad to hear sales are up 👍 I love your delivery rig 😍

[@oakfarmfirewood]

Thanks so much!

[@johnricks1630]

North carolina (USA ), Do your customers keep the bags or they return them to you ?

[@oakfarmfirewood]

They can keep them but most of the time they give them back 👍🏼

[@zach.rigby1278]

Im sorry i dont know if youve answered this, would the bags hold up in the kiln? might save you a step

[@oakfarmfirewood]

Hi, I think they would stretch and more importantly I don’t think you’ll get the airflow

[@NorthwestPAfirewood]

👍

[@jerremm]

Surely you could have gotten a short term loan for some working capital, such a thriving business.

[@oakfarmfirewood]

Could have yes but when you have a lot of monthly outgoings already it’s hard to sign up to more. You’ll see in upcoming videos we are making progress 💪🏼

[@andrewwillis2666]

What upgrades are you doing to the kiln

[@oakfarmfirewood]

Fans inside need more airflow I think

[@andrewwillis2666]

@@oakfarmfirewood could you do a small video on what you like to do with the kiln thanks Andrew

[@trinitylandscapingandexcav7965]

What temperature can you get your kiln up to?

[@oakfarmfirewood]

About 80-85C at the end of the batch
