I just can't wrap my head around paying for wood to heat. By the time you buy it, cut it, split it, stack it and do all the work that comes with it are you really saving any money?
If it makes you happy go for it, to each their own but if i had to buy my wood i wouldnt burn. Guess my main reason to heat with wood is saving money.
It depends on your area, your time and what you do with it. Buying logloads would fall under buying wholesale. If one were to buy a load, process it, sell half, you might have all your wood covered cost wise plus some, plus easier work to get there. Keep doing it enough it would start to pay for your gear (saws/splitters/truck, whatever), plus get years ahead. To me, with what equipment I have, getting it from tree in the woods to out and up here is tedious and heavy and difficult. I use a tractor, but no grapple or anything, every piece has to be hand moved a bunch before it gets to my stove.
Whereas working in a dedicated spot in a logyard, with delivered logs, perhaps with some really good mechanization gear, you could knock it out fast and have splits ready for resale pretty quickly. I know my all time record is two cords c/s/s in one day, and that was cutting off a log pile. No way in heck could I do that going to the woods, felling trees, bucking to size, hauling it back to start processing. Would have been some faster without the intermediate step of big loader to dumptruck back to where the splitter was. Cut right at the pile, to a splitter or processor, conveyor or bucket right to a dump truck or trailer, then to a customer or my stacking area..that would be fast and efficient.
And you can go a step further and make bundles, if you could develop a market, that is a *lot* of money per cord.
