August is off to a great start. Three deliveries this week and have two more lined up for this Tuesday. Darn dental appointment Monday is pushing deliveries back. At $260 for white oak and hickory and $250 for red oak. Nobody wants my red oak even at a discount. Will probably stop cutting red oak and just let it rot on the ground.
I need to haul some to Nashville...lol... We have ATL, but I don't want the hassle. Lots of folks sell there. Pine straw is another big seller there as well.
Try a mixed oak mix. Most people wont notice a difference when they burn for fun. Around these parts of Missouri firewood maybe described as Oak but no specific type of oak is listed, usually. Good dry wood sells. Hell, I see fresh cut green wood sell, but I'm not buying. Red oak has 10% less BTUs than white oak. I burn it to heat the farm house but I'm not very picky. I burn only hardwoods like oak, hickory, locust and hedge. I tired less dense wood for shoulder wood to just take the chill off. For me, it's not worth the same amount of work, taking up more space in the wood pile, for less heat.
Wow, red oak is probably the most common one sought here. The most common oak that is here but it's also real good wood. I like all oaks, white oak is a favorite these days but red oak can be outstanding, including, often, easy to split.
When demand goes through the roof in November, I stop running ads for each type and and just state "oak."
I just sold another 5 face cords to the campground owner. His season is winding down so this will finish him out. $100 per face cord and he picked it up.
Yes sir. They take up the brown needles that fall off, it is either packed in a box and tied with strings to make a bale or they have a baler that makes mini round bales. It is used in landscaping, flower beds and around trees...
Cool, I don’t suppose they use old old Allis-Chalmers little round balers do they ? Probably some new fancy specialized machines aren’t they ?
I just pulled the trigger on 1.5 cord of unseasoned sugar maple for $250 a cord delivered. I don’t have this wood on our land and it only grows in a narrow band along the ridge above Lake Superior, so when I can get it from the logger in my area I usually order a load. Between variable weather and deep snows during prime cutting season, work, family, projects, and other interests I don’t always have the time or opportunities to cut as much as I would like to.
We just got back from vacation and we saw campfire wood for sale at a gas station. Nothing strange there until I saw they were selling bundles of white (paper) birch for $7.99 each
Ive seen those in front of home depot. Dont recall the price and it may have only been in the cold weather.
