How much does a load of logs for firewood production cost?

[@InTheWoodyard]

Hey everyone! Hope your weeks are going well! Just a heads up that tomorrow the final edit of the Eastonmade 22MB Firewood Processor will be uploaded and live for 5:30am (US central time)! So make sure to stop by tomorrow and check it out! Also, there will be another special announcement related to the channel that will go live this weekend so stay tuned for that! Have a great Friday all!

[@buckinfirewood]

Nice!!!

[@Knightslugger]

When i saw the 22MB on the eastonmade channel I knew I saw something I really liked. What a beast! I just cut and stack for my own purposes but I'm starting to see the value of these pusher type splitters instead of the wedge type from Home Depot, Fleet Farm, or Menards, especially when it comes to the removable knifes. I think my next machine is going to be a Japa or similar, but a high end Japa like a 405 or something. Nothing production class like the 22MB, but enough to where I'm not touching the wood as much. That's my goal: handle the wood by hand as little as possible.

[@savagefirewood]

Outstanding Chris👌🏻

Probably said off camera - "John, please stack the wood this way so I can get to it with the grapple on my tractor and take it to the live deck of the processor" As a viewer, happy for your blessing to allow you to ramp up production while saving the wear and tear on your body. We can see that things are about to get serious.

I think it be a good idea for brother to go in and buy the Eastman wood processor. I think you can break it in good. Set up off side parking lot run processed wood in dump trailer. That way be easy to dump finished wood in certain sections on your yard.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, good idea!

[@briannelson4493]

Nice load of wood , over here on the western side of the state , It would cost $900 for that load of maple. I’m looking forward to seeing your new work saver. Keep on cutting

[@InTheWoodyard]

If you can get a load like that for $900 you better buy it all, the market rate for almost all wood is set by what the paper mills will pay and with fuel prices going up!!!!!, the going rate at all mills now is about $100-110 a pulp cord and that load was about 14 cords so $1400-$1500 is normal. $900 IS A STEAL!

Pricing is dictated by pouplation in relation to trees available......More people and few trees= high prices and lots of trees and few people = low prices. I charge $120 a face cord and $360 a full cord.

[@InTheWoodyard]

[@shannonp4037]

Am I correct in my math? Each "log cord" actually produces only 85% of a "full cord"? So his 14 log cords yields 12 full cords and therefore his $105/log cord becomes $120 (rounded)/full cord? I would have thought the not so tight stacking of firewood rows compared to dense logs would make it even volume, if not more than, the log cord.

You are close! Yes you do lose some!

[@InTheWoodyard]

[@thomassmestead9905]

I'm in the Pacific Northwest, and kept hearing you refer to 'soft maple' and wondered what that is. Around here we have maple, and as a matter of fact, it's a preferable cord wood. But it's 'Big Leaf' maple. The other native species is 'vine' maple, but it doesn't grow to to a size to be harvestable for cord wood. Now I know what you were speaking of - 'Red' maple. Isn't native to the region. Big leaf and red alder are the preferred hardwood here. Softwoods are Douglas fir Western hemlock Spruce, Red Cedar, and at higher elevations, Alaska Yellow cedar, the latter two mainly split into kindling. We have cottonwood, but no one really wants to use it for cord wood. We also have White and Black birch, which I've burned, but it burns down pretty fast. Most folks, West of the Cascade divide prefer the alder and the maple. Even though I no longer cut and sell wood, I find your video's very informative as a consumer, rather than a producer. 😃

[@InTheWoodyard]

Red maple is soft and hard/sugar/rock maple is the better wood for most everything.

Thanks for the information. It is nice to get some confirmation of what I have been thinking. I just got 18 pulp cord of oak. I was figuring on getting 15 cord split and stacked... sounds like my guess was close to your numbers. I got mine for $100/cord and another guy was $110/cord here in west Michigan. So sounds pretty comparable to what you payed. Again, thanks for the information.

Good luck! Sounds good!

[@tacitus7]

Chris how would you rank ash as firewood? Is it in the top 80%?

[@InTheWoodyard]

All wood is good, it all burns and if people are willing to pay me for it it is good wood!! But, ash dries very fast and as a wood seller I can turn it over (sell it) faster than all other wood so with that being said it is in the top 2-3 kinds of wood in my book. Oak is the easiest to sell, lots of people want it BUT it takes a long time to dry, 2-3 times what ash takes! For heating both are good but there are other kinds that are better, more BTUs.

Been burnin wood all my life, never heard the term of a face cord, would you please tell me what that is. By the way, beautiful lookin wood, even the ash looked good

[@InTheWoodyard]

A face cord is the face only of a full cord (4'x8x'...one row not 3) or 1/3 of a full cord or one row 4'high 8' long of stacked 16" pieces...what fills a 4'x8' rack.

Hello Chris what do you charge for a full cord of mixed wood ? and do you charge for a delivery fee too I am from pa

[@InTheWoodyard]

A full cord is $330 and delivery is free within 10 miles, $20 for every 10 miles after 10. Pricing is depending bon the people to trees ratio, more people= fewer trees higher prices, like Chicago....few people and lots of trees lower prices, like Podunkville.
