    I have seasoned firewood to sell in west Tipp / east Limerick area, hardwood and softwood. Just wondering if there is more of a demand for builders bags full or 8×4 trailer loads. Thanks

    Morning PPN,
    Depends on your set up and how much time and timber you have to sell on. I've found that bags are a pain and more hastle than they are worth as some can be expensive and time consuming to fill. However if are delivering, barrow-bags can be sack-barrowed anywhere and are water proof (be careful tying them closed if the timber is not well seasoned the logs will sweat and cause black mould) and larger bags can be half unloaded and then moved by one man. We sell our timber in 1.3 m3 bucket loads for a set price, in and out they go. Quick and easy and you can just work from the stack of logs.
    Totally depends on your set up though.
    Hope that helps.

    Am going to be giving quite a bit of this wood away to friends and family - but was wondering what the rough cost would be (or demand) for someone to take the whole lot?

    This was a 70ft cypress up until yesterday!

    I would be surprised if you cannot get someone to pay for it, Cypress is good burning except it needs to be seasoned. You will have no bother geting someone to take for free.

    Real good timber for burning. I had a few trees cut and chopped and stored in a shed for a year before burning. Burned in a stove and very pleased with it.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,251 ✭✭✭kdevitt


    Thanks for the replies - am going to try and sell off the larger sections. Will see if theres any interest.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,785 ✭✭✭jcsoulinger


    I've been pricing around for firewood, and one seller was offering me 7.5 square Meters of chopped up fence posts, they haven't been used and are very dry, it's soft wood. He wants 450 euro, is this a reasonable price? And has anyone used similar before, what's it like for burning?

    Some of the chemicals used to preserve these would be dangerous in a domestic fire, I reckon find something else.

    If the seat's wet, sit on yer hat, a cool head is better than a wet ar5e.

    If they are green pressurised they have been treated against rot with amongst other things arsenic - google it - heres one link -

    I would burn an odd piece of treated timber but not a load for the year - why risk it!!

    45 a cube is cheap alright, esp for dry wood, edenderry pay more than that for wet woodchip (30%-45% MC) to burn on the power station.
    Although I would suggest that if I were going to burn them I'd want to be very sure that they had not been treated with preservatives,
    as when these are burnt some of the toxins produced are deposited nearby (most notably those which condense on the walls of your chimney).
    I am aware that you mentioned that the seller had assured you they were not treated,,, however he'd be motivated to say that wouldn't he?
    all the best

    a picture of the leaves on the standing trees or on the felled brash would help............ looks to be a softwood of some sort, fast growing, perhaps sitka, more info required......

    Its daylight robbery, sell bulk loads of 1m3 hardwood here out of the yard for 55 euro, so the bag above would cost circa 100 euro of us....
