Don’t forget the store stocks all the makings for S’mores. S’mores are the best part of a campfire. We believe people should be making S’more time for relaxing if front of a campfire making S’mores.
haha. That sounds like a good desert for tonight's fire
I could sit by the fire and eat a whole bag of roasted marshmallows without the chocolate and gramcrackers.
Another quality video and you’re really hitting your stride with your Chevy chase lampoon style humor.
haha. Love it!
Totally agree! I’m currently exploring some new bundle opportunities. Bulk is nice, but small quantities is better! 👍
I agree for us sole proprietors. Leave the bulk for other people!
Guys' I am following you both ~ and from my view I'd like the Retail with higher margins better, however my best opportunity to keep cashflow is with a Grocery store (a smaller sized bundle at a wholesale price). I too am exploring new ways to market and sell bundles. I am learning the best processes and trying them out. I am not going to invest/work this hard to sell "Cheap Wood" ALL the cutting, sawing rounds, moving, splitting, stacking, sorting, packaging etc. IN the end, I am learning to be as productive as I can with the remaining energy in my body after walking 18,000 steps at my job. Love what I do! CBJ
@@cowboyjoyandtheRoughCuts the big accounts are nice gotta be careful to not get cash flow crunched. Lots big stores don’t pay for 60-90 days
Good Morning Joe, I feel the same feeling when i Take Firewood into the cattle building, It triggers memories of liquid cattle manure and millions of manure flys all over me and the tractor😂 🚜🪵👍🏼🇺🇸
haha.... Keep me away from there guys. I have a nose like a beagle!
so true my friend . putting labels on every bundels is extra money spent. plus if they really looking to buy fire wood they will find u .
Always enjoy your content Joe, Thanks for all the information you put out there!
Hello Joe, been very busy and catching up on some videos! Great informative video once again. So glad I purposely did not sell all my firewood last year and am turning them into more bundle production.
Love the video Joe! Thanks to you my entire bundling setup is the same as yours. I love the Twister and also got the wrap from your recommended source. It is excellent and they now send me promotions to get 10-20% off. Had a killer Memorial Day weekend as far as bundle sales. Thanks again for all the info you give us! Ben
Great to hear Ben. Glad you are doing well. Keep it going buddy
Excellent advice, great video
Well it can’t be said you don’t think things through Joe. Elaine from Canada here, always interested to hear your thought processes, (not that you ever have to explain or justify your decisions) because you’re sharing and teaching viewpoints that are obviously working for YOUR BUSINESS. Thanks for the great video and minding which way the sun angle is best😃
Thanks Elaine. UA-cam vids are a lot about those small details!
Very good information. Thank you
WOW U still have great stuff there . ,the saw dust can b used to also make fire starters. i have watched others make them and the small spinters budel idea is very great too.
Always good advice from you, Joe. I bet you’re glad to be home from your travels. 👍
I am. I like where I live !
I do the Same thing Joe. Small strips off the top of my 6 way and makes the perfect Kindling once dry.
Hi Joe - it's Big Rodders in Ireland. To the firewood "expert" that stated you don't understand the business i would repeat my comment made in a previous video. Unlike most UA-camrs doing firewood, Joe's main income source is firewood sales so he has had to learn how to maximise profits, or as bankers say - sweat his assets, if he wants to put beans on the table.
Great video Joe for us up here in Maine bundles are the money makers a cord of bundles is worth triple what a reg cord is sold for an thats why we are trying to focus on just the bundle side with more stands .
Hi Joe, as always you talk words of wisdom! Been a while, but have once again enjoyed your very laid-back presentation! Think the ‘Twister’ is brilliant…much better than the hand-wound variety! Keep up the good work 😎 Len (Devon 🇬🇧)
The old wood yard, as great as it was, doesn't compare to the new one. Thanks for your advice and thanks for being you. I appreciate that. Kenny
I agree bud. The new yard is awesome!
👍 THANK YOU!!💯
Great video Joe! You do you and what works for you.
Thanks Zeke
Just spent a couple of hours today sifting through a rubbish pile like yours , picked up 800 L of kindling and 400L of split wood ( tossed into IBC's plastic tub ) So a good $150 NZD of wood which would have been wasted . I had a firewood operator work for 6 months without cleaning up a thing on my property , so in the process of reclaiming the land , there must be 20 -30 tons of this , and another 20 tons at a guess of saw dust . all going into a burning heap once I recover the things worth saving .
Good video Joe…u have been a life saver with your links…Melissa Nagy made my bundle labels and Candi at twister has already delivered my bundler…I own a tree service and firewood and bundles is actually just a hobby for me…I have no wood shortage lol…
That is awesome to hear Jeff. Keep it going buddy!
All good points Joe.. Hopefully you have a great day..😁👍
Thanks Dan
Thank you for the informative videos, they help heaps! What is it like setting up accounts and invoicing? This is the part that I find a little intimidating. When you invoice does the retailer have a certain amount of time to settle the bill? Do they pay when you deliver? How does all of that work?
Good production in this video with some useful information
Thanks for watching bud!
Love your channel. Dreaming of a bundler like that. Looked it up a few weeks ago too pricey currently. Started my channel in November. Hoping for 1k by the November deadline
So I started selling bundles last Saturday (10 days ago or so) I’ve sold 91 bundles total just out of my roadside stand. So far so good with the honor system. Really would like a bundler but wanna pay for it all in cash, maybe after this season I will be able to afford one. Love your videos keep up the good work
Great job nic. Way to get it going from the start
Don't pay any attention to the arm chair firewood salesmen!! Keep up the great work! 73
Thanks buddy. 73s
Good morning, Joe!!
Good morning Mark!
A lot of the firewood bundles around my area (OKC Metro) are made by the tree services. And its just labeled mixed woods. Its also .60-.75 cu ft. For the same price as 1 cu ft. Sometimes a little more. Almost no good hardwoods in any of them.
From my observations the customer doesn't care about species. Probably just wants it to be made of wood.
Good video, I am researching getting heavier into the bundle/bag sales.
It seems there are a lot of opportunities out there. It helps to have a sample product with you when you make a sales call.
Thanks
No prob!
Came back to re-watch this video Joe. We're thinking about selling some bundle wood (not to campers). :)
I don't think you can go wrong with bundles. They certainly make you realize the potential in firewood. Good luck buddy
Here in the north Texas DFW area, a .75 cf bundle is $15. There are .65 cf bundles of oak sawmill scrap for $8.
That is a good price for sure.
It would be a nice jesture to put a few sticks of kindling wood in every bundle. Its like peanuts in a bar, give something away that does not cost much money.
Another very good video. All great advice. Have a great day! RTB Firewood
Thanks Jack
Howdy Joe 🌞 yes a walk down memory lane 😢
Indeed it is Mike!
Hey Joe take a look at empty bannna boxes to pack your kindling. I drive to the back of supermarkets and ask the receiving clerk for them. Very durable and easy to stack. How the wood chips doing? Take Care.
I have to make some more chips here someday. Stay tuned Lendy
Nice video. Are you using 90 mil wrap or have you switched to a thinner wrap
Good Morning Joe
Hi Rich!!
You go joe great job good video
Thanks bob!
"You don't understand your market" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I think we are a lot alike.. no need to do the same work for less money
haha. Thanks for seeing it the same as me Dan!
Good info.
Joe side question, what was your former carrier in Corporate, I know you mentioned it prior but I forgot.
Loss Prevention, Risk Management, Safety
When do you think you are going to get an employee? It seems if you just had some one bundling and stacking and you just kept splitting and delivering lumber you could ramp up a lot. I love how you keep building and growing. Do you think you can use the old Site for drying of the less valuable woods that you can use for camp grounds? or is the moving things back and forward not worth it?
for now I am bringing my purchased firewood back to the old place. All my stuff made with the japa will stay at the new yard
Surely you have a great business sense
haha! Sometimes I'm not to sure
A lumber yard/mill I use to get fire wood from had 4x4x8 foot boxes full of fire wood and they sold the fire wood for $50, you picked the box of wood and you load it yourself
was it split firewood or slabs? There could be some profit potential if the wood was quality
Stretch wrap that would make a dog puke your a right laugh Joe great video
haha Thanks paul!
if you arent adding your own labels you could sell it as private label for the companies that resell. ask them for label design and add theirs. so it looks like they made the firewood. many companies like stuff like that and you could charge more for it.
my bad, its white label not private label.
Hi Joe, great video again. Just a thought… as we know bundles can make at least 2x the profit as a facecord. If you paid a student to make bundles and in the end, after paying the student, you made 50% more then selling a facecord, would it not be worth it?
Assuming I can sell the bundles for more than bulk. That isn't the case for me of late!
Great vid. I envy you a bit as of late. Just the easy way your approaching business life. Your videographer is needing some appreciation as well so here it goes......👍👍👍👍.... and there it went😅 take care.
🤠👍👍👍👍
Awesome post Lance. Thanks buddy!
What will you do with all the skidways now?
Here in Tulsa Ok we sell wood by the rick. Most people want wood 18 inches long so a rick is 4 foot tall 8 feet long and 18 inches wide. And that is going for 100 bucks
Thanks for sharing randy. i couldn't make a living at that price.
Hey 👋 Joe
Hey there!
What I’ve found with campgrounds they don’t care what type of wood they just want the cheapest price , another person undercuts you a race to the bottom. Then you work for nothing.
They can get that way for sure. I just stay away from them. I do get occasional calls from campers who are looking for dry firewood but that is about it
@@ohiowoodburner gotta stay focused on the customers where you can be profitable.
I heard Shirley actually does pick up sticks
Hi Joe, I personally don’t sell enough to buy or make Labels for my bundles, for me it’s a hobby ❤️🇨🇦
Thanks for sharing Len. Sounds like you are having fun buddy
Ya my wood piles pretty cool
Joe I hope you get so bissy you have to hire a 10 person crew . # GO JOE!
Thanks for the well wishes Dale
Joe, have you noticed the bundle size at the big box stores and the chain has stations have been down sized.... to .75 not 1 ft..... some as little as .60.... price is same tho...
I have. I wonder too if it is to keep weights & measures off their back
@@ohiowoodburner good question..... I'm waiting for the disclaimer from the bean counters of.... Like the potato chip bag..... it's for the consumers best interest that we give them less and charge more.... 🤣🤣🤣
Only in America!!
Im at a loss Joe! I went to 1-1.25 CF bags this year and stuff them full of nothing but straight very dry beautiful 16" pieces and our kindling bags are .75 CF bags and stuffed full as well as a included fire starter. We're in 4 beer distributors and 1 convenience store (right down the road from a huge camp ground) and I thought for sure after Memorial Day weekend, (first nice weekend we've had since the snow melted) they'd all be calling to refill the shelves and 1 beer distributor sold 2 bags of fire wood and 2 bags of kindling and zero sold at all the other places. Just to get in the door these places are making 38% profit on each bag, our bags are anywhere from 3-5 dollars more than I see advertised locally but the 5 dollar wrapped bundles are about 6 sticks of wood and the bundles that are closer to our price you might get about 8 pieces and all look like crap. Any advise?
Make your bundles smaller and lower the price. Have you thought about doing a road side stand and gaining 38% profit?
With the variety of bundling and bagging machines out there now. It has flooded the market with folks trying to sell bundles in my area. Most stores have no loyalty or care about quality of bundles so the first Joe that offers theirs at a better price gets the shelf space. Should seller push for a contract or non-compete type waiver to keep their locations locked down???
I have never once used a contract. I think it works both ways and I dont want to be held down to something
Hi Joe, Two teenagers could keep that Twister going all day. At your home there would be all the necessary amenities. And your wife would probably enjoy serving them a nice lunch. I think that would out well for you and them.
I haven't been looking for bundle business lately. My residential $$ is higher so i would rather make my money there when I can
👍👍👍
Thanks
Sounds like you have your goals set Len. Good job buddy.
The big box stores here are privately owned and love selling local products... besides my bundles will outsell anything from corporate..
Good job buckin. Are they easy to deal with?
THAT PILE OF WOOD HE WAS PICKING THROUGH FIR KIDDLING I SAVE ALL OF IT FOR MY FIRE STARTER. I WORK GREAT. THE BARK THAT FALL OF IT BURN AT NIGHT FOR MOSQUITO WHEN THEY ARE BAD
mosquitoes have been pretty tough on us this year too
I always knew those wood mats you were driving on where temporary.
as did I jake. Thanks buddy
@@ohiowoodburner
Perhaps you can sell them
but I don't know who would want them. I suppose they are hardwood.. Maybe an earth covered building. It may be a good question for your audience.
I just got an idea.
You said you have two people that make firewood for you. You could have them do the mats to firewood.
This is Korea. May I know the price?

Sweet smoking fuel!😊
Are you still selling your wood chips to people that use smokers? You posted a video or 2 about that but haven’t seen much about it recently
Hey Al,l, live on IIL, In border,,, We get Busted for spreading White Moth, Japanese Beetle.
You go outa quarantine zone, better be able to make bail,,,,,,,,
Around here, the bundles sold at the gas stations and supermarkets looks like crap. Seen one the other day where the wood was green on one side and punky on the other. I showed him what mine looked like and he was hooked. Dude has 9 stores and I only wanted 3 or so but I am going to go for all 9. Gonna hit up a hardware store that had wood so ugly, I would not take it for free.
I think I will get out of the firewood part and go strictly bundles, better profit margin. I have a bin for what I call goldilocks wood. It is the really gnarly, knotty and just plain ugly wood. Will just sell that at a reduced price to get rid of it.
So what are you going to plant in the field? I cannot imagine you leaving something unproductive. What can you grow that you can bundle?😀
It was originally planted with rye grass but it is mostly weeds now. Not sure what I will do just now
@@ohiowoodburner You own a tractor…..😀…..there must be something as profitable as bundled firewood! Enjoy your day and have a safe day!
Hey Jiffy Mix don't advertise either and everyone knows it's the best easy cornbread mix around when you want a quick sweet cornbread
Love my cornbread Jimmie!
Someone always knows how to run your business better than you do....Blah! What works for you is the best way. Well Dun!
Thanks Geezy!!
Are you still selling smoking chips? If so, how are they selling?
I am. I sell them to two restaurants regularly. I don't really go after the sales for them and just use them as add on sales
You need a big bon fire
He does not have the bones for a bone fire.
Maybe one day Joe!
Can’t be your old your wood yard, it looks dry
90 mil???? 125 mil is an 1/8 of an inch.
Not sure what that means but I prob misspoke 90 guage.
Who’s the clown that told him he doesn’t understand his firewood industry? The arrogant audacity to say something like this when he runs probably the most professional firewood business… freakin commenters man.
Thanks for having my back Sharky!
So someone actually commented that you don't understand the industry??? That's hilarious, seeing as how you've built a highly successful firewood business that is your sole source of income!! Makes me think of another channel that I watch, where the guy stated that selling a partial facecord "never works out" and "Isn't a good idea". I thought to myself, "Gee....Joe seems to be pretty successful at selling small quantities and demanding a premium price for them"!!😂
LOL I missed that vid. I would have loved to watch it.
