Hey Chris, I like your operation, Looks like a Job,but rewarding. I love the fact that you are including the young fellows to help . I grew up 5boys & 5girls in the family . In the 1960’s time Era we cut and sold wood as well .My was disabled , so we cut & sold wood to feed the family & pay the bills. My dad charged $10.00 a load for oak wood stacked in the truck . But once again I like your operation. Have a great day

Us small-time firewood guys dream of these type of customers. Hopefully next fall will have a dump trailer. Doing 6 facecord deliveries to one customer sucks royally. Can't get much of a dumper, the 7,000# class is all my truck can handle as equipped. Many have said get the 10k or 14k trailer, they don't weigh that much more.

When you've burnt wood all your life you learn to find wood all year, a lot of ppl wait last minute but I'd rather stay warm than wrestling frozen wood. It's a blessing to see the wood shed always on the full side. Yeah you can't beat yellow or black locust for firewood, you can make a stove walk off with it if you aren't careful, that's some real firewood you got there, and you actually understand a cord of wood, I've never bought or sold much firewood but the scams are out there and ppl end up with 3/4 a cord of green wood.

I ended up with a couple armloads of black locust in a batch of mixed hardwood I got. Initially I thought he'd given me pressure treated lumber! It was that color of green, lol. I was not impressed with it as campfire wood- it mostly just smoldered. Most of it is still kickin around somewhere, buried under the tsunami of wood that came in this year.
