Firewood

Appreciate it man.

Just curious because I don't live in that area...is it hard to find 1-2 hardwoods to cut down there? I'm not being a jackass, just wondering because here if someone wanted firewood, there are many public land options to cut firewood.

Thanks. I actually enjoy cutting and splitting firewood for the winter. A certain satisfaction from your labor providing for your family but I guess convenience is more important for most people.

We heat our house with firewood so I do a lot of splitting. While I enjoy using an ax, maul and wedges as much as the next guy, investing in a log splitter was one of the smartest things I’ve ever done.

Been telling my daughter for years firewood heats you up when you cut it, stack it and burn it. Not sure she fully appreciates that.

I have many hobbies but cutting and splitting fire wood isn’t one of them. I’m not
cutting a tree down
cutting up logs
hauling a splitter or hauling logs to the splitter
Splitting the wood
Stacking the wood on a trailer
Hauling the wood
Unloading the wood
Restacking the wood under the shed

I cut rounds....roll those rounds onto the trailer.

Roll them off by the splitting area. Cut and stack right there.

Much less work.

Dang, I guess we are getting screwed hugely here in Cenla. You can get delivered for 4x8, but only about 18 inches for like 120. Yall are giving three times the wood for 175.

If you can find a true cord for 175 that’s a deal. That’s a lot of work for not a lot of money. A lot of people sell a face cord which is 1/3 cord and call it a cord.

And they call it "Seasoned" because it's been drying for a couple of weeks (if that).

That was kind of the point of my posts that got downvoted but if you cut it yourself, you know what it was and how long it's been seasoned. And the satisfaction of doing it yourself and not relying on anyone.

I see it all the time at the gas station. Someone must be buying it.
