They only hold 1/3 rd of a cord. So if you are selling, you have to adjust your price accordingly.
So this is what I was wondering about. I know nothing about IBC totes but looking at getting a couple and trying them out for my property. The problem is I do not a piece of equipment capable of moving them after loading. I am guessing the guy I am buying them off of has the 'standard' 275 gallon ones. I have seen people argue about them holding 1/4 of a cord and a 1/3 of a cord.
A lot of people burn in my area. So I was wondering if I could get away with driving a piece of equipment on the road around here to make a few extra dollars here and there off extra wood? It is difficult though because you can only deliver one tote at a time. Even if you had a trailer you are going to have to load the tote(s) and piece of equipment with it. You are going to max out even a tandem axle trailer fast that way too.
Then what to charge? A true cord around here seems to average about $200. Maybe a little more. So are you going to sell an IBC tote full of firewood for $100 (which still seems a little low for the work involved). Then do you charge a deposit or something for the tote? I see the benefits of it though and why I want to learn more. If your equipment is not huge you could pretty much get it anywhere. Near a back porch, maybe even in a garage for someone. Then it is easy to deal with, the wood is already stacked and contained.
