Firewood

Hi All,
I'm in the process of hacking down a few trees in my girlfriends garden and wondering how feasible it is to cut the big bits into smaller chunks and sell them as fire wood / kindling. Does anyone actually buy this stuff? I know I could probably give it away to someone with an open fire.. a lot of pubs have open fires in out area but just not sure if they would actually buy the wood or how much I would charge them for it? Obviously anything would be a bonus so wouldn't mind undercutting normal prices as if it doesn't sell I'll probably just end up burning it or taking it to the tip!
Does it need to be a certain type of wood for open fires? As you can tell I have no knowledge on this subject or trees for that matter lol.

Wood need to season ie left out to dry for 9 months or more before being burnt otherwise the tar from the wood may cause a build up and a chimney fire0

Only worth about £50 a ton delivered, & that's for seasoned wood.
N.Never be afraid to take a profit.
Keep breathing. :eek:
Just because I am surrounded by FOOLS does not make me wise. :j0
