    You sure? Did you see the price tag on those five splits? LOL. I’d sand, scrub and rub ginger root on sticks all day for that kind of money.
    So you got plenty of good advice. Thought a little humor was in order. And for the prices you’ve stated you’d have to be a cut above. While that video is tongue in cheek there are people like that. Shiny Land Rovers with touring tires ;) :)
    Now when I think pacific NW I think wet. Dry might be your biggest selling feature. Personally I’d skip the chunks. As others have suggested make them into kindling and offer up a free box. Good luck and welcome to the forum.

    That is hilarious. Not sure how either one of them keep a straight face. Probably several takes while shooting that vid.

    Welcome to the FHC!

    I too sell firewood on the side and IME most customers know what a cord is or more importantly, is not. Chunks and irregulars are unavoidable where I am at cuz the wood is not long nor straight so I always “mound” my 1-cord trailer to make up for it. For your prices(get what you can while you can) the little extras will be appreciated by your customers and have them calling back.

    Good luck! And again, welcome.
