Last year, I ordered a cord of firewood from a tree company I have used in the past. The wood was terrible, not seasoned long enough, difficult to burn and did not get very hot.
I live in Wyckoff. Does anyone have a recommendation for good firewood delivered?
Thanks in advance.
No, he's having a problem getting wood that performs adequately.
On a serious note, you may want to consider lating in an initial oversupply so that you can then guarantee that you'll have adequately seasoned wood every year after that. Buy two cord this season and let one season. Next year, buy one cord and use the seasoned wood. Rinse, repeat.
I buy whole logs by the truck full (about nine cord). Of course, I live in the middle of a hardwood forest and so have easy, cheap access. It sucks when you get held up for high costs. How much are you paying per cord, if you don't mind me asking. And is it a full cord (4x4x8) or a face cord (2x4x8)?

Hope that helps
Pure ponderosa I would guess 140 or so.
Luckily a big juniper tree died so I will try to make it on that and what I bought last year. Warm weather here and it goes down cold up day by day. They park in pickup trucks in certain spots. Give you a price as they size you up. I can haggle them down but it is hard work and they deserve their money.
Out here it is so dry 6 months may do it, if tarped when it is going to rain. I try for a year. Other places to fully dry wood may take 3 years
Part of why it is cheaper here I would guess.
However, it provides some exercise and the wood, combined with oil, cuts our total yearly heating cost to less than a thousand dollars. And that's for as much heat as you want, anytime you want it. No sweaters necessary in our house!
That is pretty much it right here and northern NM. I am cutting some chinese elm as it is around…but geese louse they just give that stuff away..I see it in the dump at times…stinks when it burns, and is hard to burn.
Back east I would guess you could pick and choose. I burned apples once…what a delight that was. smelled great and burned great.
