I have a tree business that does near a million a year. We have floated the idea of selling firewood in upstate South Carolina where we are located. We have a 25k square foot warehouse not in use and thought of cutting and splitting and storing in the dry there.
I want to gaurentee moisture content. Low obviously. Delivery in small trucks or dump trucks and pickup. All oak maybe hickory.
Do you guys have any ideas on what to do, expect, as far as production expectations, pricing, and profit margins. No one in the area has a legitimate firewood business that gaurentees quality and delivery reliability. We would sell by truck load of various size and a 14-8-5 dump trucks. That standard of measurement is the way to go here. No one knows what a real cord means here.
Thoughts and suggestions very welcomed.
