Firewood processor delivery times are also exceptionally long at the moment. Our new market review reveals what's currently happening in the overheated market.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Currently, a common message on the homepage of many online stores that sell firewood is:&nbsp;<em>New orders cannot be accepted.&nbsp;<\/em>The product pages reveal that all products are sold out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201dThe firewood trade is accelerating. The rise in electricity prices and the possibility of future power outages have caused households to fill their firewood supplies like never before. For example, here in Finland, many firewood vendors have already sold out of their stock. And we haven't even had frost yet, says&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>Veijo Kontro<\/strong>, Sales Manager from Hakki Pilke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many firewood vendors have already sold out their stock for this season. That's why many have had to halt sales completely for the time being to focus on producing more firewood for sale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Firewood is selling at an unprecedented speed<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/global.hakkipilke.com\/hs-fs\/hubfs\/AdobeStock_Hakki-Pilke_firewood-cages-1-1.jpeg?width=750&amp;name=AdobeStock_Hakki-Pilke_firewood-cages-1-1.jpeg\" alt=\"Polttopuuta heitet\u00e4\u00e4n polttopuuh\u00e4kkiin.\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Simo Rousu&nbsp;<\/strong>annually produces approximately 1,000 m\u00b3 of firewood and at best 11 full trailer loads with a Hakki Pilke Pro 38 firewood processor. This year Rousu sold out as early as August. It\u2019s easier to understand how exceptional the situation is when Rousu mentions that, for example, last year he had enough to sell until December.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Magnus \u00c5dahl<\/strong>&nbsp;He has a company called koivuklapia.fi that he runs with a Hakki Pilke Easy 43 firewood processor. \u00c5dahl has noticed that fresh wood has also sold exceptionally well since last spring. Additionally, customers are currently willing to pick up their firewood from great distances, as long as they can get it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some larger vendors still have enough firewood to sell. For example, Metsolan piha and puu, which produces firewood with the Hakki Pilke 50 Pro, still has some firewood left in stock. However, they are also receiving a huge amount of orders, so the situation may change quickly. The situation is the same all over the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Demand increases firewood prices<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/global.hakkipilke.com\/hs-fs\/hubfs\/DSC_3254.jpeg?width=750&amp;name=DSC_3254.jpeg\" alt=\"Klapi l\u00e4hikuvassa.\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Demand has been strong for so long that firewood prices have risen all over the world. The availability of raw materials and the rise in prices are causing concern among many firewood vendors and threaten to further extend the already long delivery times. \u201dRising energy prices also affect the retail price of artificially dried firewood, because artificial drying methods typically require electricity,\u201d says Veijo Kontro.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a long time, the best way to secure firewood for the winter has been to order it well in advance in the spring. This year, firewood vendors have noticed that demand has been spread out over a longer period than usual, and orders began coming in earlier than usual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ordering firewood as early as spring will continue to be the best way to secure your own supply for the coming fall and winter. This way, you\u2019ll likely also get firewood at a slightly lower price\u2014especially when demand is rising, as it is now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Delivery times for firewood processors are exceptionally long<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/global.hakkipilke.com\/hs-fs\/hubfs\/Hakki-Pilke-43Pro-user%20(1).jpg?width=750&amp;name=Hakki-Pilke-43Pro-user%20(1).jpg\" alt=\"Hakki Pilke 43 Pro -klapikone k\u00e4yt\u00f6ss\u00e4.\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Along with the demand for firewood, the demand for firewood processors has also increased. Currently, delivery times for almost all firewood processor manufacturers are within one year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe demand for firewood processors is stronger than ever. This is mainly due to the sharp increase in energy prices. Because of the increased demand, delivery times have multiplied from what is considered normal worldwide,\u201d says&nbsp;<strong>Jari Niskakoski,&nbsp;<\/strong>Export Manager - Hakki Pilke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you feel that your firewood processor needs an update for the 2024 season, we recommend placing your order as soon as possible. Currently, the growing demand for both firewood and firewood processors appears to be continuing, which may further extend delivery times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/global.hakkipilke.com\/na\">Visit our website<\/a>&nbsp;and answer our handy questionnaire to find out which Hakki Pilke firewood processor is best suited for your needs.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Are you interested in Hakki Pilke firewood processors?
