I just got into and sold a 3 cord stack of a load of red oak from a friend that gave me 3-4 yr old logs that were staged next to his driveway. Some of you might remember this score. My neighbor called dibs on this wood bout 5 months ago. It was flaky bark wood and very messy. Hus stove was in the basement so he didnt care. This stuff compares to 3 yr old oak, wow its fkaky messy but burns beautiful. Had to keep a goid amount fir myself it was so nice, ill deal with the crumbs fir this stuff.
