    I checked out CL the other day and notice a add for free aged oakJump right on it and scored.Got about 1 1/2 cord of primo oak splits ready to burn.Older fellow even helped me load it.He said he switched over to gas and no longer needed the wood.Im going back for some large rounds on Monday.I felt that I had to give him something for it so I left him with a nice bag of tomato’s,egg plant,and peppers from my garden.He seemed happy and so was I.

    It doesn't get any better than that! Cut and split Red Oak. How long had it been cut and split?

    Oh man...... I have checked Craigslist quite a few times over the summer. The only "free" wood I ever see is still standing, over the house and tangled up in the power lines.

    That's as good as as it gets. A win-win situation! He'll get to feed himself with the produce from your garden and you'll be feeding your fire.

    Not craigslist, but I’m sure someone wants to jump on this. Larger hollow log is only $350
