Do you deliver your wood or have people pick it up? If you deliver throw a measured cord in your delivery truck and mark how high it comes up on the sides with spray paint. I sell 60-70 cords a year, never stack and have never had a single complaint doing this.
If you think this could work for you, just move your wood pile to a place that gets full sun and wind exposure to ensure proper drying. My piles are usually about 18' wide, 8' high, and up to 100' long on a good year. And from my experience, piles that run north/south dry better than ones that run east/west.
I deliver maybe half of what I sell, the rest the customers pick up. I know how much goes in my delivery set up so that stuff I just grab from the pile. The stacked stuff is just for the customers who pick up.
Last year I sold a little over 100 cords, but am going to do things different this year. Going to charge a little more and sell a little less, end up making the same money, hopefully.
I plan to have around 60 cords ready to go and when thats gone, I am done for the year. Last yr I had 62 cords ready and they were gone before Christmas so I had to keep cutting standing dead to keep up.
Not going to do that this year. I will keep cutting but it will be next years wood, not this years. Running out of wood that is dry enough to go from the woods to the stove.
