Your last 2 videos have been things I have been processing in my head!! Bundles and kindling bundles. I appreciate the variety of videos. I am a hobbyist but want to eventually do full time. I dont want to borrow $ so To get a few acres for a Woodward, I need to make the most with what I have. My wife thinks I'm crazy because our yard is stacked cords 😆. I work a full-time job and cut firewood in spare time. Your advice has separated me already from others in my area. I always enjoy the opportunity to learn, and thank you for sharing life time of wisdom!!!

Hi Chris, I do separate the kindling, bag it and use it 3 ways. I use it my self, give to a customer who buys a cord or give it to a customer for a referral!

I am using sugar maple bark as kindling right now. It falls off and I save it for starting and restarting pit and stove. I also look the for splinters to pull off then save them for starting the wood stove just under the bark scraps. Here in central Ohio 2 chords of hardwood heats us when we are home. Furnace resumes overnight and on work days. Like you say wood is exercise with benefits.

I provide a free 1 cuft mesh bag of kindling with every face cord purchase. My customers love it for starting their fires and I write my name and phone number on the bag which functions as a business card. The kindling primarily comes from splitting with multiple wedges on the splitter. I also make kindling out of less desirable softer firewood. Have tried selling it as an add on, but not much action.

I have sold some kindling before. Its usually just the small scraps that come off the splitter but I have been getting the bundles of slabs and scraps from mills and some of that stuff is pretty small and perfect for kindling once you cut it. I have seen people using the slabs and running it through a table saw to make it inch wide pieces. I have never done that but I have stacked a bunch of it up on the splitter and ran it through. Probably should have got more slabs and scraps. Last trip I got some real big cherry slabs that were 4-8 inches thick. If you are making kindling its a whole lot easier to get those small slabs and scraps from a mill since a lot of it is already kindling size to begin with just needs to be cut to 16 inch.

We do kindling and we do make it. It’s a popular add on at our firewood stand. I use all pine so it splits easy. You can make a ton of it fast with a vertical machine! For us it’s just an added perk to make our firewood stand more appealing than buying from the convenience stores. Take care Chris👍🏻👍🏻GNI

With the volume of firewood you do, it would seem to me that kindling wouldn't be profitable unless you had that machine that specifically made kindling such as the one CordKing has come out with 🤷 I suppose that with your clientele that burns more for recreation than heat I may be wrong. Good video, and nice price you are getting for scrap material 👍

My biggest question is whether the kindling easily start the fire. I’ve tried making it from the slash that I get from Aspen. It doesn’t want to light that easy. It’s been sitting out for since May in IBC tote bladders. I have Spruce and Doug Fir slash available. Haven’t tried those as of yet. I have been using pine recently. It has worked very well. It only takes five seconds to light.

As I'm sure you know the 16 way and box wedge on the 48C make a ton of what I call slash. I put 2 IBC totes under my firewood tumbler and when they are full I park them off to the side. I tell all of my customers to help themselves to it. Some people take some but not near enough to keep up with the supply. I wish that I had a tub grinder to dump it in to make flower garden mulch. Good video!

I do not sell kindling. The slash i get off the splits goes in a tote. Indo not put any bark in the totes. Then, i give a bucket to each customer. I dont have the time to just split kindling into bundles. My customers are happy woth it. If i were to sell it, i know it would be a hit. Just the slash isnt the same as precise kindling bundles.

As a buyer of firewood, I've found that you can't really fit a whole face cord in a normal, 6ft. bed.. Maybe an 8 ft. bed. I don't know how many times I've paid for a face cord and they show up with a 6ft. bed level and after stacking it's never a full face cord.. If it's a 6ft bed it must be a heaping load to be close.

The inside wasn’t eaten wood bad at all so just went ahead and threw the pieces on the pile . I assume they will die off especially this time of year being cold exposed to elements.. I’ve done it many others times and didn’t have my wood ate up. Did I make a mistake? Let me know

Nice video Chris. I make lots of kindling. Some is slash from the splitter, some is intentional split from rounds. Of course I don’t sell kindling or firewood. It ends up being stacked in the drying stacks with the firewood so that as I take firewood out, I also take kindling out. Don’t have to wrap or store separately. If I sold wood like you I would definitely make an effort to sell kindling. I use all kinds of wood for kindling but prefer pine or cedar. GNI

Sometimes I also use it as a sells pitch and offer to throw in a bag of kindling for free to people buying multiple face cords at a time.

I used to sell kindling for $9 a bundle back when I would have to purposely split pieces down. it’s a lot of work! Now I find it’s a natural byproduct of the box wedge. I pick up all the 16” long slivers and bundle them for the standard $5 a bundle. Generally have 3-5 IBC totes worth throughout the year. I haven’t figured out the forces at play when selling in the firewood stand. Sometimes all the standard bundles sell first. Other times there is a run on the kindling. Seems a small percentage of people really like it.

It's always a constant fight when I bring my wife to the woods. Heated arguments. She keeps loading all this kindling into the bed of my truck and I keep telling her big rounds only. What a great problem to have 😁

Good morning all! I chopped some Red Alder and found that it chips if your aim is off. I ended up with lots (about three 30-gallon trash barrels) of chips 6-10" long and 2-4" thick. I collected all of this and decided to bag it in 10 lb mesh bags. I offered this as a "gift" to buyers of my wood and my customers really appreciated it. Red Alder is light and starts easily so it makes great fire-starter material. Very windy and rainy in Pacific NW (Vancouver, WA). Maybe there will be lots of trees down and I can pick up some free wood.

You are 100% right about the bean counters I work for a service company that was practically a license to print money then we merged with another company got really big and got overrun with middle management that talk about nothing but numbers and it’s been downhill since so if you own a business listen to the man cause he is wise

I don’t specifically sell kindling. I save the small pieces and include them into my bundles so the user can use them to start their fire if needed. I also make fire starters with wax and dryer lint but couldn’t sell them either.

I don't sell firewood but I took down some cedar split rail fence and made a few kindling bundles. I took some to our rental cabins for guests to get campfires started with and I put some in our house for starting fires in our wood stove. People really use it. I bet it would sell well. Even my wife said "I like those little pieces for getting my fires started"

If you burn wood kindling is a must have, unless you’re using an asphalt burner to light the fire with.

I make my own kindling out of red pine. I cut the rounds to 12” and produce small bags of kindling for my roadside stand. Nice add on, may also start including in my bundles.

Ive sold 640 bags of kindling so far this year. The majority of my kindling is pine that I make from my sawmill slabs. They are 12 inches long by 1 inch wide and 1 inch thick. Located in Central Maine.
