Their site says they have a showroom. A firewood showroom... I guess you go down with the wife, sip complimentary salted caramel cappuccinos with extra sprinkles, while the sales associate discusses the relative benefits of pecan over oak. You then examine the available wood, and pick the bundle...

I keep coming back to Blacksmith's page. They sell matches for $20. I can find no indication otherwise, so I have to assume it's for a single box of matches. They're extra long(whoopty fuckin' do), and they /appear/ to have a few more than the standard 32 count; maybe 50 matches? ~50¢/each? :^D...

That stump looks like pine too. I'm thinking $50 for an ordinary stump, and maybe $100 for something special. I could even see $300, but there better be a lot going on with it; a true one of a kind.

That's got a real ring to it. Maybe mesquite and piñon as a specialty? You have those where you're at?

"An entire burning season of unmatched fireside experiences" Their stove must be much more efficient than mine :^D Those racks are commonly sold around here, though not nearly as pretty or tightly packed, and the rack stays at the vendor's place. $20-$30. I think $20 is most common. Do they...

Sorry about your health problems. Hope it's all fixed for awhile. Getting back to wood should help a bit :^)

Humans make everything worse, don't they? I've thought about selling small quantites of firewood, but don't feel like dealing with people for fairly trivial sums of money. The aggravation would probably outweigh it.

What are the concrete posts for?

I thought about selling small stacks of firewood in front of my house, mainly to make use of the metric shitton of wood I have, and to give purpose to making it smaller. I then thought of people stealing the wood and/or the money, and thought otherwise. The small amounts of either wouldn't...

Sounds like you could make some real extra money having a tree biz there. Even if it was all handwork, it would be worth it at those prices.

My favorite wood is the branches that are the perfect diameter, and require nothing but cutting to length. Luxurious!

Huh. I'm not super experienced with ash, but I found it fairly easy to split, and well dried, even sitting dead in a field. Oak's the worst for holding onto water. Seems to hold onto water forever if it hasn't been made small.

It's missing a dimension. Volume can't be computed til it's paid for and stacked. If you bought a "face cord" sight unseen, you have no idea what's gonna show up. Like I said earlier, cookies nailed to a sheet of plywood is as legitimate a measure of a face cord as anything.

When I looked it up, I found reference that said a "bush cord" is a regular cord. I don't remember if I read anything contrary to that. I'm pretty good at English, so when I hear 'word that everyone knows the definition of' with a modifier(bush) as a prefix or suffix, I'm wondering how I'm gonna...

Statute, meaning legal definition. No bush, face, or fairy cord. A 4'x4'x8' stack of wood, or 128²'

There's other names, with varying quantities of wood. I only knew of cords til I got into this stuff, and found things like face cords, bush cords, and ricks. I had to look it up, and there doesn't appear to be unanamity as to what anything is aside from the cord. Regionally maybe, but I expect...

Near as I can tell a "bush cord" is a statute cord. Maybe it means whatever you want it to mean. Just the way scammers like it.

Never burned maple aside from one-off pieces. I have access to it, but I just pick other stuff. The maple I can easily get is usually Norway. That doesn't seem to showup on the charts. Searching, some guy on AS says it's not as good as sugar, but better than red :shrugs: I'll burn anything that...

Interesting flush. I've found it competitive with oak. Not quite as good on purely heating terms, but it coals up nice, and what I really like about it is the smell. If I were offered my choice choice of oak or cherry for the same price, I'd take the the cherry.

I've probably split 2 cord of it over the last two years, and 90% of it's been a PITA. Splitting inside a round is fairly easy, but it isn't a circumstance that frequently comes up. Radial splitting is pretty much always a hassle aside from the smallest pieces. I maybe need to rethink my...
