    Keep selling like that and we'll call you T.Benjamin Veal!:makeitrain"

    What is the smallest volume of smoker wood you'll sell?

    Surprised my smoker sales aren't better. Thought for sure they'd be stronger once the weather turned warm.

    I’ve abandoned smoker wood. The sales weren’t worth the effort to segregate. I have one section of Hickory and cherry left if I get any further interest, but I won’t continue to separate it from general use wood. I’ve gotten more pine interest than cherry hickory, or Pecan. The little bit of apple I have will go into general use.
    One guy that bought cherry from me never covered it and it rotted before he used it.

    I cull out primo heartwood splits on the large common trees. Ill dry those in the bundle shed even mixing them in the stack and putting aside when retrieved.

    I listed a 200pcs (1/4 cord) of cull wood on FBM and sold two in less than a week. Last one was mostly cottonwood. I may be onto something. I have close to a cord of CW almost ready that was intended for bundle inventory plus access to a log deck of mostly CW plus mill scraps of EWP and cedar. Seems I can make more $$$ with softwood than oak!
