[QUOTE="composter, post: 8075952, member: 168028"] Again, I admire your grit and goals. The wholesale to stores means the most volume at a lowest price. Can you do large volume for a long time? Solar kilns are a good idea, but if you need the USDA certification, better check directly with them, as i understand they require documentation of temperatures and the time they are held. I don't think a small solar kiln can produce the volume you will need. I'd aim for higher end customers that will pay top dollar for your dry wood, and pick it up from you. I understand you have a self serve stand, and that is a good start, but I think you need to have hours when you will be there and load for folks: provide plastic to protect trunks or SUV's and the muscle and the customer stays clean and unstressed. Doing this, we've sold $1k on a weekend, and we're only 50 miles from the Gulf of Mexico! To buy a splitter (a no-brainer in my book), you need to generate cash, and getting an Avant requires a LOT of that cash! Good luck, but remember, it is the amount of money you can generate from an hour of work that is critical. [/QUOTE]
