Hey guys -- looking to buy some firewood but dont want to get completely ripped off in terms of price -- any good suggestions on where to buy some firewood in the area at reasonable prices?

specifically - we just need enough for a few fires here at there, no need for anything close to 1/2-1cord

thanks

check with Lucky1

Walmart
Target
Lowes
Home Depot

Pick one. You'll spend more time trying to find the "cheapest" one rather than just going to get it.

Lucky1

he has plenty he can cut up and bring you

if you're not averse to some manual labor, you can usually find someone on craigslist giving it away, on the stipulation that you remove it.

Heres where the friend who always drives a truck but uses it for nothing comes in handy. And yeah you can usually find people who just want the damn things moved outta their yard-provided someone cuts it or they might even do it themselves to get someone to take it.

haha no one is cutting wood, splitting it, and then giving it away


maybe yall haven't cut wood before

11/29/2006 6:49:36 PM

eh, just went to harris teeter -- figure its a decent temporary solution

2x of their bundles of wood for $9 if anyone is wondering

the 76 station on the corner of kent and western has it for $4 per bundle.

They did where I used to live, I shoulda hauled some of that shit on down here on the way back for some $ Midsize fallen trees or large tree branches that are cut around this time can be more of a hassle to get rid of for someone who doesnt need em, got a small inner city yard, and/or who dont got a truck.

the farmers market is the best deal anywhere. I loaded up a cherokee for $20 bucks last year and i still have some of it left over from last winter. Cant beat that at a gas station.

2nd on farmers market

This reminds me that it will soon be time for me to split firewood for the winter at my parent's house...

11/30/2006 10:43:38 AM

I actually enjoy splitting firewood.

the lumber mill accross from dorton arena gives cut up wood away during the summer and fall. Its not logs but its still good wood to burn. Check with Lucky1 if he will cut it split it and deliever it for only 75 its a steal. I cut fire wood for 3 houses each christmas break and from cutting down trees and dragging them out of the woods cutting them up splitting them and then stacking them its alot of work.

my understanding is that you should not burn pine in a fireplace, as it produces much more creosote than hardwoods...

11/30/2006 3:42:18 PM

no, don't burn pine indoors

oak, hickory, maple are all good


poplar is great if you ahve doors or a screen

soft wood will F(*& up a chimney

11/30/2006 4:39:24 PM

I found an ad in the paper and for $70 I had a half cord delivered.
