    I'd be worried that your dry wood would light his creosote on fire and get the good old creosote clean out treatment.

    Here's a load going to the casino. They said the last load was a bit too dry. :eek: In their defense it's smoker wood though.
    I don't sell much Oak because of the long dry time. I burn Oak and Pine almost exclusively in my boiler. Maple, Ash, Beech etc. are usually what I sell. I don't advertise or actively seek new customers, but they are finding me for sure. If I have no more dry wood I simply tell them that.

    At some point, the buyers that complain about firewood being too wet will realize they can store it themselves and have what they want later on in time. Just have to give up a portion of their yard, is all.

    Until then, there's $ to be made by storing it in the seller's yard. :handshake:

    You've never heard of wooden nickels?
