It looks like a good deal. How much do you think you have? It looks like a bit more than a cord (but I'm on a phone at the moment). is the splits alittle on the small side? Put up a picture when stacked, I think good price.

White oak .. already split .. delivered .. sure sounds like a deal. Does your stove like smaller diameter splits? Not sure, but the photo makes them look a bit skinny. Let us know how many cord(s) once it's stacked and measured.

Loco, you got a great deal if you ask me!! Heck, you'd be LOCO not to take a deal like that!! Most of the wood looks to have uniform length, and the splits do, too. Does the seller have a firewood processor? Sure looks like it...

Looks like good wood. There appears to be a bit of work and cutting down to size. Okay deal to me.
No Scotty they were split by HAND by a Mexican whos wife I know. ICE grabbed him this week and she needed money. (I gave her an extra 30 bucs for her deliveries.) My Buck really likes lots of small splits so these will be seasoned fast and burn great. I was being sarcastic fellas, I know I got a great deal getting a years oak and not having to even pick up a maul.

So we're only seeing half the wood...4.5 pickup loads, or did you have to pick up half of the wood and what we see there is the total amount of wood?Loco Gringo said:
Nine pickup loads would be like three cords, I think...
As you can tell, I'm a bit confused. :lol:
At any rate, I think you got a helluva deal. I'm guessing what is shown in the pics has got to be two cords at least, and White Oak is awesome wood! Very nice... :coolsmile:
Woody, it was 9 loads and she hauled 4 or 5. Only a 10 minute drive. I stacked about 40% today and I feel like Ive been shot at and missed, but sh!t at and hit.

What is "ICE"?Loco Gringo said:
BTW I'd be tempted to hang up my saw if I could get firewood at that price, but alas, we don't have any Mexicans around here.

Imigration and Customs Enforcement---at least I think
And yes, thats an absolute steal for $150. Around here a buck and a half gets you someone trying to pass off 1.5 face cords as a cord...In one pickup load...and it was just split last week.
