Hey Product Hunt people 👋 Justin Slusarski, Founder of Fyrwood here. We are modernizing one of the oldest commodities in the world. Firewood. Our mission is simple: make it easy to buy and sell firewood online. Like Doordash for firewood. With over 3 trillion trees in the world and over 15 billion trees felled every year, wood is often overlooked as one of the largest renewable energy sources. The amount of carbon a tree sequesters during its lifetime neutralizes the CO2 output during the burning process, so it is considered a carbon neutral energy source. As the demand for firewood continues to skyrocket, more than 1.5 million homes, 94 million campers, and a fast growing number of personal and commercial wood-fired oven/BBQ users are searching for good quality firewood every year as a lower cost alternative to fossil fuels. Try searching for 'firewood near me' and you'll see how the market is massively fragmented with thousands of suppliers and no centralized marketplace or distribution system. At least 75% of customers who buy firewood online admit to having a bad experience and will pay up to 10x more in some cases to buy processed wood from out of state or even overseas (looking at you firewood bundles from Home Depot), when there is almost an endless supply of better quality, lower cost wood literally in their neighbor's backyard. We are pre-launch and have secured key partnerships with suppliers in our local market, Philly 💚 PA. As a marketplace startup, we are focused on constraining the supply (seller) side of the market first and will be building features to help sellers optimize their operations. Things such as online ordering, inventory management, route management, order fulfillment, customer service, etc.. This will allow them to reduce costs and meet the increased demand once we turn on the other side of the market. Looking forward to the community's feedback as we continue to build the product!
