    His second load went this afternoon. Having trouble loading all the pics, but here is the stack when I finished. The closest cribbing is his work. DSCF0062.JPG

    Regular customer called for another cord. I have maybe 3/4 cord left that I can easily access. He had bought other wood from another seller and he raves how much heat the BL puts out. Next year maybe the last I sell it in quantity. Half cord load going today. IMG_6984.JPG IMG_6985.JPG What's left of last years stack. Wood in back is not mine.

    Customer from post #243 above was content with a half cord. He had bought a cord from another seller to supplement his supply. Pure garbage IMO. Scraped up with a payloader as there was a LOT of punks and wood crumbs, assorted sizes and shapes. His teenage sons had commented how they like my wood as it stacks up much nicer. I applauded that comment.

    Downright shameful what some guys will deliver but it only helps us to sell more at a premium price.

    Him and I had a good talk. He said mine was worth the premium, but at what level compared to other wood. None of what was in that mess gave him an overnight burn. Had to restart the next morning.
    My BL was 50% more than what he paid for that cord of junk. There was a lot of tulip poplar in the mix from what I saw.

    Honestly I'd be embarrassed to sell wood of that poor quality for what they got. If so it would be firepit wood in the off season.
