    Responded to an ad on Craigslist and loaded the truck up with some free wood. I know it’s not the best firewood out there, but I love cherry. 8BAB88EA-3273-4141-9554-BF3BEB657BF3.jpeg

    Cherry may not be the best, but it’s way up there in my book. Great hoard. ASNR!

    If you feel like it’s not worth burning I will take it off your hands

    I usually end up cutting some but it is not my favorite.

    Looks nice. When I get some, I keep it long and split it small for the fireplace

    I burned quite a bit of cherry last year. Not the hottest burning wood but it seasons fairly quick and splits awesome.

    I like cherry for shoulder season. Doesnt leave a ton of ash in the pan either.

    I like cherry because it seems to be the easiest to sell

    $300/cord for it around here.
    $250 for oak and/or 'hardwood'.

    Always have cherry mixed through my stacks, very plentiful around here. Not my favorite but by far not the worst.
