I have ran the gammut on different answers. any help would greatly be appreciated. Bythe way this is in wa. state so mostly doug fir. thanks.

I think that a lot of them are bundles are 2 cu. ft.

Around here they are wholesaled for 1.99 to 2.99 at the most.

most of the bundles you see at the local mini marts are of 1.5 cft.....  sold here they fetch at most 3.50 a bundle....size varies from 10 to 12" thick and all 16" long.

I think it really depends on your local market. If it was me, I would keep it to 16" long and under 1.5 CF because of the weight issue. Anything over 40-50 pounds will be tough to carry and the women and weaker men will skip it as soon as they try to pick it up. I think finer split wood would be best because it is easier to light and looks like you have more.

Check out your local home depot for what they sell for firewood bags.

I sell bundled wood at  .75 cu ft per bundle for $3.00 each or 2 for $5.00. Our local Kroger supermarkets are selling the same for $4.49 a bundle. I cut my wood 16 inches long and put a full length handle on them. I sell at our roadside stand and will be at the Lynchburg city market in December for "Mistletoe Market" for Christmas sales. We also sell kindling, fire starters, and "Yule" logs.

Most bundles around here that I've seen package firewood are .75 cu ft . I think thats the most standard sixe bundles

thanks for the help guys, I checked some of the local stores and most were .75 cu ft.but the qaulity of some of it was horrible.

I know someone selling bundles locally.  1 cuft wholesale at $3.50 and his business is expanding.  Check into wieghts and measures laws for Washington regarding labeling and such.  Oregon has some real specifics regarding size and consistency.  X dollars a bundle is not exactly a legal measure nor is a pickup load.  In California you would have label with the this product is known to contain substances known to cause cancer yada yada yada.  Exporting and bundles to CA would require the proper label.

To sell to state parks and such labeling is required and so is a specific measure per bundle.  One local contract here went for $2.99 a bundle for something like 30,000 bundles.
