Through the years I have always wondered how much I actually make per hour selling firewood. I sell about 60-70 cords per year and do this on the side so I am not dependent upon the money, but it sure is nice for some of those pet projects you need extra money for.
I have kept track from time to time, just on an hourly basis of cutting/splitting/delivering when I have had small jobs on certain nearby farms. (small jobs as in 10-15 cords that I can cut, split, season there and not have to handle again until I go to deliver it -yes they let me store it on their property till it was seasoned) I also included load and delivery time and fuel and came up with $35 an hour.
This year, I plan on keeping track of all the time I spend on all of my sites as well as fuel, chains, etc. and am curious as to what it will turn out to be. I am also curious if anyone else has kept track of their hourly rate and if they are willing to share.
