firewood business

[arlen]

I have a 1 acre lot in San Diego County. about 1/2 could be used for a wood business. Because I don't have a lot of space I thought I would buy a wood bundler and try and make a little extra money selling wood to camp grounds or beach fire pits. I love to use my new saw 6410 Makita I was cutting 24" rounds with a 20" bar and it cut great I could stall it if I pushed it into the wood hard. I bought the woodsman pro chain full chisle from baileys it worked great. any advice would be gretly appreciated thanks David

Would that be the 6401 Makita ??  

There is a business doing the firewood bundling near here, and they sell mainly in the Chicago market. Size of stick and fast burning wood is most desired. They bundle white birch exclusively.  Tried mixing in hickory, and were getting complaints that the fires lasted too long.

Thanks for the advice I could use pine. I was thinking of eucalyptus. Yes the makita 6401 I love that saw. I payed $ 418.- plus free shipping at tool ? I am very happy with the saw.  David

If I've got my nice honey next to me and the fire is blazing brightly in the fireplace and the wine is disappearing  I've got another fire blazing and don't need the fireplace anymore.  So I am ready for the fireplace to die out .
