I am thinking of getting into the firewood business to supliment my income from my lawn care business. I'm trying to figure out how you make any real money if you have to buy the wood of someone else. Seems like the profit margin is pretty low to begin with. I'm having trouble seeing where the money is. I see oak in the paper for $75.00 a pickup load delivered. Just to gross $25.00/hour you only have 3 hours to get that from standing tree to the customer. I would deliver in much larger quantities, but it still seems like there is a lot of room for error that would just slash your per hour depending on how many times you have to move the wood etc. I know it can be done. How many cords can one man cut split and stack in a 10 hour day?
