I Need firewood

I know there are several firewood threads but most are just general questions or for Calvert Co. I'm in Chaptico and need someone who can deliver some seasoned firewood. I may only get half a cord (or load, however it is done) depending on the price. I usually get it from someone I know but the last load was not seasoned: I think he forgot I asked him and ran out last minute and got what he could. That wood was virtually useless this past week. I asked on Tues for some seasoned wood, if he could get it, and I have not heard from him. Any suggestions on who I should call would be greatly appreciated. TIA

No one on the SOMD classifieds. Been trying to get some myself.

So far for the people that will deliver a full cord or more, they are either people who setup deliveries and dont show, or people I have tried before and deliver short cords of unseasoned wood.

Let me know if you find someone decent.

Well that sucks. I have a guy that's hopefully coming tomorrow or Tuesday at the latest. Ill let you know how it goes. I'm always afraid of getting bad wood. I tried to look up what it should look like, etc. so I'll be able to tell ( hopefully) .

I'll check with my boyfriend if it's seasoned or not (i'm clueless) but he delivers. Will let you guys know.

You guys are going to have a very hard time finding a seasoned wood dealer. They just aren't here and there are laws that prohibit people from crossing state and county lines with firewood.

Seasoned wood should be dark, dry and when knocked together have a "tink" sound rather then a "thud". Get yourself a wood moisture meter. Split a piece of wood and check the "fresh split" side. It's optimal to burn at 15-20% moisture.

Kelly McConkey in Dunkirk has my vote! Great service, quick delivery, great prices and its very seasoned!

Thanks for the info. This is the first year we've strictly used the whole house wood furnace so we were clueless as too how much wood we'd need. We have a few trees down at our house we need to cut up and split ( after we get a log splitter ) but I doubt it's enough to last through the winter. I guess we need to be a little more proactive for next winter.

Can't you get just regular firewood and sprinkle some salt & pepper on it and season it yourself. OH wait...nevermind..

An outdoor wood furnace? Shouldn't matter if it's seasoned or not, won't be the best burn but it will be a burn nonetheless.

Not outdoor. Inside, connected to our duct work.

Gotcha.
My uncle has an outdoor wood furnace to heat his pool, garage and home. Fortunately he also owns a tree service so he has no lack of fuel.

You could try calling tree services to see what they do with their logs from tree jobs. :shrug: The worst they could say is no.
