Well back at it again. Buddy down the road called me this morning and wanted to haul firewood. I was considering just buying a few cords but being the waiting list is too long. I'll just hop out and get a load. So hook up with him this morning...

See, ND is not good for everything!

Just depends on what part of the state. Up in the NE quarter they are loaded with wood. We have a lot of wood all over the state just not always top quality one can pick and choose from, some do but I am more about cutting only dead or downed trees for clean up purposes. I will burn most anything except Boxelder, stuff stinks too bad when burned and is the biggest pain in the a$$ to split too.

Here in the great state of Confusion, the Government wants you to buy it where you burn it or burn it where you buy it. This is so bugs and diseases  don't get moved around.

Not only there, but here too as well.

I have thought long and hard about a way to make a viable firewood business. But like most things, you need a lot of money to make money...

Not hard at all I did it for a 1 year and was making serious money with another gent. My problem was my body wouldn't hold up to the abuse.

here in northern AZ the majority of the trucks selling fire wood are Mexicans. the one that lives 2 streets over made 140K last year. that's some cash for selling firewood. he pays the saw man 50$ and the splitter stacker 30 per load. each truck holds 2 cord. average sail price is around 2-350 per truck pending if it's juniper, aspen, oak. a truck of oak is 450.

 

this could work....

That's a lot of truck loads!! Holy cow they must have worked non stop like all year to make that much money.

Some guy around here had a lot tucked away so you couldn't see it from the street. A lot of the tree trimming business would unload their trucks there  instead of the land fill to save money. He had 2-3 Mexicans working it, splitting and delivering. He made a good living at it till he died.
