Is The Roadside Firewood Stand A Success Or Failure?

#46. This is an update on the firewood business. We are 2 months in and thought this would be a good time to talk about how the business is growing.

Great side gig for a little extra cash :) I live where there is a lot of wood, I use to bundle & sell but the back don't like the commitment any more, I spend to much time away & just me so I just cut for my own use & I sell the odd pickup load threw the winter, I found that most people just like to grab a couple bags to go have a picnic, best sales :)

That’s a great return on your cord of wood!!
Enjoyed it! Keep em coming!

Congrats on hitting 700 👍👏 enjoyed the video……suggestion…..make a platform to fill the bags on, so you don’t have to bend over so much💪 Looks like Winter is going to hit soon 🔥🪵👍👏🇺🇸 Rick

I got some small pallets and stack 2 or 3 and that’s my platform for the bagging process. It’s easier on your back for sure.

Just found your channel, another PA YouTuber. Good on you. I think those bags are a bit pricey IMO.

Bundle sales are the way to go for profit. If you get in a pinch as far as supply goes, you could still buy bulk in your area to sell as bundles and make some money on it. I have not had to to that myself, but has been the plan if I ever got in that situation. Of course, making it all myself is the most profitable way, especially since I source my own wood as well for free. Nice little business you got started there!

Good Morning Nick. I just wanted to throw out an idea. What if your kindling splitter sat in a box . After you have split a bunch of kindling, lift the splitter out of the box, and you are left with a box of kindling. Just a thought. I enjoyed the video. Have a good one, Ben

Hi Nick, 2 weeks now for my roadside stand out for sales and my paybox has already been broken into. Luckily no cash was inside but Im wondering if you have had issues with this? What type of paybox are you using? I got a relatively cheap one off amazon and it looks like a simple screwdriver and a quick twist easily breaks the lock mechanism. My situation may be different than yours, I live on a very busy road (literally thousands of cars per day) in a suburb area.

Where did you get your firewood bags sir?

[jamessanders]

You didn't figure in the cost for bags...

Nick, and to every other person watching and or reading this statement. You didn't buy the tree, you didn't raise the tree. So there is no money and or time spent on the tree growing up to be harvested. So yes, you made a profit. I get tired of every You tube idiot making a dumb ass video saying was it a success or failure. You didn't have to spend any money making the stand if all wood was milled from trees you cut down or had fallen by storm and you acquired them that way. Planting, staining, all the cute artwork, that again your choice.
