This is our setup we are making camp wood to sell to the campers at our campground. All the wood is from dead fall that needed to be cut down or stuff that came down in storms.
Our firewood set up.

Just curious what you charge your campers for the wood, and are they allowed to bring thier own wood if they choose?

we were selling this http://www.ravenfirewood.com/premium_hardwood.htm
for $6.50 a bag I'm not sure what the boss is going to charge for our stuff. We let people bring there own but were stoping that because we had an invasion of beetles that apparently are not native?

Looks like you are proving P.T. Barnum correct. I'm envious of the market that you have found, wish I could find something like that locally.

we will sell out of two 75 bag pallets on a week end. Just the shippping to get it here from Canada is insane. We get it 20 pallets at a time so do the math.

Local price won't matter, if you don't allow them to bring in thier own.

So campers can't bring in own wood but your having it shipped in from Canada. Do you think Canada is not having a bug problem.
You should look into local markets in your area, there are plenty of local wood sources that I'm sure would love to get in on this.
Ahhh I'm just tired and sick of the way the economy is run in general. I'm stepping off the :angrysoapbox:.

People can buy local we just ask if there from out of our area not to bring wood unless its bug free.
If a bug can survive going threw a kiln and then living in a sealed plastic bag and making it here that's a tough bug. But yes are local economy is being helped by us doing are own wood. keeps 3 guys working all winter. chain sharping guy busy ect.

Is the no outside firewood policy also in effect at other area campgrounds? Just thinking that spending $25 vs bringing a few logs from home could be a deciding factor for some folks, especially in this economy

Once the EAB is there, the ash trees are done.
