Shortage of firewood in Maine.

The shortage was at the dealer level , sounds like scroungers who only get one seasons wood at a time and ran out, then called the dealer

 

More....than...

Pardon my OCD...

 

How about Bio Bricks? If 7 pound bricks were available for $225/pallet (a pallet is claimed to be the BTU equivalent of a cord of seasoned wood), does anyone see a market for those?

 

There is a market but it is small. The stove MFG for awhile were saying in the manuals that burning compressed logs would void warranty- Likely based on the ones with wax an such added, not things like Envi or Bio bricks which have no additives( listed anyway). So acceptance has been less than stellar.
Pellet market - most of the production here is shipped overseas. In either case pricing is dependent on the energy market of traditional fuels electric and petroleum. You have to have sufficient volume sold to off set costs and they are seasonal products here. That leads to storage costs of finished product on top of everything else.

 

Don’t wear that shirt in the wrong bar.....

 

Here the Woddsman teams in college are pretty big and well known, and the other day at a pizza place the kid behind the counter had a short on that said, "Blood, sweat and sawdust", with a cross cut saw on it. I thought that was a nice shirt. On the sleeve it said STIHL. No one will rob the place with that kid behind the counter!

 

I’d be happy to have that kid work for me!

- I was referring to wearing the “got wood” shirt in bars found in certain places...like cities that rhyme with “Dan Jalisco”
