I just landed major jackpot I think 1 year seasoned pine already cut up. they are asking $20 dollars a truck load as much as you can fit and there are 50 full cord available! Man I am hitting that up it will be great for the spring and fall season and when we are home.

Good find Pete. I'm looking forward to this fall when we burn our first White Pine & Hemlock, we should have close to three cord for the shoulder season.

Yep, right now I am setting what pine I have in the stack to the side. I figure that will work out better for the April fires then it will for the March fires.
 
I'd be all over that too, especially if we had a full size truck on the road! Heck I'd probably take a good lot of it and sell some as campwood if we couldn't use it up fast enough at that price...

Someone around here is selling 30 cord of poplar for $450. I think it's face cord, but it doesn't matter because there's no way we'd be able to haul all of that home right now. That'd be shoulder season wood for a good long time!
 
Good wood. I'm burning some shoulder season pine, fir and poplar while its hanging around the freezing mark.
And a great price!
 
Real good price Pete - that will be great for shoulder fires. I had a big pine taken down a couple weeks back - already stacked a full pallet and should have another full pallet when I'm done. I'm only stacking the stuff that split well (for the stove), the rest is real wavy so I'm setting aside for the fire pit. Cheers!
 
If its close that may be a good price. I have so many places that i still have to get up hardwood i wont even think of burning pine I have about a 4ft ranger bed full of pine split and stacked from a few months ago, as i had cut all the HW in the spot i was in and there was pine there so i filled my truck twice with pine as thats what was there. But i wont just go cut pine one day, it takes just as much effort to cut it as oak elm or hickory which is my next best alternative.
 
It is on my way home from work and honestly I can't argue with the price due to the fact that it is as much as you can fit. My s10 bed and trailer together are quite a bit of wood! I have no desire to fill my yard with pine but it does make some excellent firewood for spring time & the fall :) It also makes amazing kindling if you let it dry in little sliver splits for a year. I love me some firewood :cheese: Our house has just been insulated and man does it hold the heat in almost too well ! We can run the stove with soft maple 2 loads a day and it gets nice and toasty then load a full load of ash for the night and wake up 9 hours later and have a huge bed of coals to do it all over + the house is 65 in the morning. I never thought I would see that day! We used to load every couple hours and run the stove fairly hard to keep up!

Well if its on way home from work and the trailer counts as well for the $20 id do it too! It will cost me atleast half that to make my close wood runs.
 
Pete, what kind of pine is this?
 
Dennis they said mostly Weymouth pine which if I remember correctly is another name for white pine. I can not be positive until I see it though which hopefully will be tomorrow. I suspect that it is a mix of different woods just because it was a large wooded area that was cut and piled by a contractor then just left to sit for a year. The owner wants it gone more than anything from what I was told.

Pete, what did you do as far as insulating?
 
It is easy to tell white pine. The needles grow in clumps of five. Spell w-h-i-t-e. Five letters, five needles.

That and the branches grow in a whirl. But im in the south and its the only pine that remotely looks like it does down here. Not really sure what all grows up there.

Being a southern forester not much emphisis is put on norther or western species and i dont try to maintain a super knowledge of all species.
