    Is this some of your BL @buZZaw BRAD? My wife is visiting her sister in Ridgefield, CT at the moment. Decided to see what firewood is selling for in that area. Kind of shocked how cheap firewood is in CT and especially in Newport, RI where I was stationed twice in the Navy.

    You are deservedly getting a premium over the average seller in CT and surrounding area.

    Face cord delivered to a new customer who answered my ad last week. It was supposed to be a half cord but came to a cord of bark on in the stack and i dont mix them for the most part. I adjusted price accordingly. IMG_4539.JPG IMG_4540.JPG They had bought some wood already but as usual mostly not seasoned enough oak! IMG_4538.JPG She wanted two cords so will be dropping more after this current rain.

    Another half cord out today. Same customer as post #168 above. They'll take more when ready. I can accommodate. Nearly 4.5 cords sold so far. One BL regular got high btu nuggets (some BL mixed in) instead. I have a cord of BL nuggets when he is ready. Couple customers yet to get their orders. IMG_4588.JPG IMG_4587.JPG

    Contacted a customer who hadnt called yet. He was ready. Dropped his first half cord today. Third year regular. Amazing firewood he calls it. Uses a lot less compared to "normal" firewood. IMG_4604.JPG IMG_4603.JPG Three more loads to bring. Second should go this week before Sundays snow.

    Are your orders coming in a little late this season? I hope you are getting a premium because that is beautiful, dry wood.

    yes and no. It has been warmer here last and this year.

    This last customer took three cords last year and was just near the end of it when i contacted him last week. I usually let them get in touch with me although i did text a couple to check in.

    Looks like colder temps and weather is coming! That will get people burning again. We only started burning for real the last two weeks.

    Half cord load of barkless delivered to a friend of mine who loves BL since i turned him onto it. Wood was CSS Sept. of 2021. IMG_4798.JPG IMG_4799.JPG Stacked in his shed. Ill bring more to top it off. IMG_4805.JPG Slowly abandoning this area at storage as its always muddy. I can only get in there when dry enough or frozen. Froze up enough in the last week.
