The "Ripped off by a firewood dealer" thread https://www.hearth.com/talk/threads...ealer-any-tips-for-drying-wood-quickly.94495/ got me to thinking.
What would you pay for premium, packaged, guaranteed kiln dry (16.5%) wood? What would it cost a person to produce?
I got to searching the net and it appears to be quite common in Europe, particularly Germany. I found several companies doing it. Great I thought... Then I got a look at the prices.
How does 249 Euro ($325 USD) for 1.7 cubic metres (0.47 cd) sound? ( $690 USD/Cord)
These are the kind of prices you'd have to get once you see the machinery, work involved and quality of packaging. But, to most of us, thats crazy money.
I encourage you to check out the website of one of the companies, its very well done. Some unique packaging options, including GIFT BASKETS!! http://translate.google.ca/translate?hl=en&sl=auto&tl=en&u=http://www.timber-macpom.de
Some video of their production process (in German, but its easy to understand without speaking the language):
