Hey I loved the work but at the time I loved partying more, I usually would just work at it a couple days a week enough money to eat on, pay my electric bill, buy beer and about 100 dollars to party on.                         Â
  I might take it up again when I retire from my present job.
So how does a complete newbie like me break into this kinda tree-choppin' job?
If you decide to take it up again, and need another hand or something, hit me up and if I am availaible I wouldn't mind giving it a try.

I'm not sure how it would work up in NH. but I would say that with the increase cost in heating oil, natural gas and propane there will probally be more of a demand for firewood.
It appears timberwolfcorp.com has some advice about starting, operating and growing a firewood business. They are out of VT, they make and sale hydraulic log spillters etc.
Another guy has a website in MN called firewood.com, he sells to Famous Daves BBQ, as well as to homes, it looks like he is selling over the internet.
Down here firewood is sold by the rick or face cord instead of by the cord. A cord is 8 feet by 4 feet by 4 feet, a rick would be 8 by 4 by what ever length of the log usually 15 inches to 2 feet.
In the early 80s I sold a rick of hardwood mostly oak or hickory cut, split, delevered and stacked for 25 dollars. Today down here it will usually be 40 dollars.
In the 80s I usually advertised on a local AM morning radio show called Swap and Shop, I would call in on the air say what I had and give my phone number.
