This is the first one I have seen. Swipe your card or insert cash, and a bundle of wood pops out.

Built on a twin axle car hauler flatbed type trailer. Can it really be profitable?

Fabulous or folly?

Here in NY, moving firewood is getting more and more restrictive (although I'm not sure how closely it's policed). Between that and the per bundle prices of $6 to $8 I've seen at many campgrounds, I bet it could be profitable.
 
In the long run it will be more profitable than having a human being in a kiosk. It's all about location, location, ....

I am going to try a propane fire pit see if I like it for traveling.Seems ridiculous to pay that for firewood. I have plenty at home but weight and dirt make it impractible

We use a propane fire pit. It will never replace the real thing, but it is more convenient and less expensive.

Plus, in more and more places it's illegal to use wood brought from elsewhere -- worries about transporting bugs that damage vegetation (pine beetle, etc.).

It is also impractical because it is against the law to move firewood around between states.
