    Spent a little time moving wood home and stacking it near the wood boiler. All scraps I can’t or better yet shouldn’t sell. It takes a little time trying to stack this stuff but I am now stocked up for a while.

    Perfectly burnable wood, just in oddball "unconventional" shapes and sizes. How often do you have to restock that pile during the season? Nice stacking job btw. :thumbs:

    I've sold 1.5 cords of them so far this season, with more to sell including BL. I've given my friend quite a bit too. Do you sell any like that Joe?

    Haha. Doesn’t bring home the Benjamin’s but sure keeps em in my pocket! Usually Jersey hot means stolen though. LOL

    I do sell some of it from time to time but I don’t advertise. This 6 pallet set up will hold 3 full cords when fully stocked. I usually have it full and ready to go by the end of summer and then only partially fill it throughout the winter. A lot of times, I just bring an ibc tote bladder home one at a time as I get lazy or short on daylight.

    Burning non stacking chunks and scraps is like getting a freebie.

    Do you guys who sell it discount it and, if so, how much? I burn it myself but I have mused lately about selling it.

    Nice stacking, I am surprised it stacked so well! I put mine in totes.

    I get the same price as normal length splits. I have a couple regulars for it including black locust which ill separate. Ill advertise it as firepit wood or for small stoves if i list it on FBM

    I store it in half cord bins i make from reclaimed wood.
