It is true that olive wood is the best, burns longer and doesn,t leave sticky residue. The price you have been quoted is reasonable, our local wood seller has lots of regular satisfied customers, and he charges 300tl per ton.

300TL better than 450TL? not when you get twice as many goods for the greater price!

Just a quick word of warning because of the amount of un licensed wood sellers the forestry have cracked down big time. Legitimate business owners used to be able to renew their license every month, it then went down to weekly now they have to get permission for each load, the reason is there are too many people just chopping down healthy trees and selling the wood.

This is fact because the man we help not only sells wood but he also works for the forestry.

Might become short supply so be prepared to pay extra.
