When I started selling firewood I was determined to give good value
for money, so I carefully worked out the likely heating value and
pitched my price to be equivalent to coal. I could never understand
why people continued to buy from other merchants who offered worse
value. It took me a while to realise it was "luxury" being sold and
people bought on the perceived price of "a load". My logs were dry,
many people used coal as the base with logs on to, dry logs burned too
fast and didn't sizzle.

Andrew, do you still sell firewood and where in the country are you?
