Saw this on Craigslist. Maybe spelling is important after all :lol:
 
Maybe you should call and offer to be his wholesale supplier at maybe $50 / split or so. He ought to love the deal since I'd guess a typical split is probably 2-3 quarts worth...

I stopped by an ACE hardware in St. Louis, $18 for a shopping cart of split firewood (approx 18-20 splits). $4 a bundle (5 splits). $120 a pallet. No definition of what quantity that is. $50 for delivery and stacking.

The local mulch/compost yard wants $40 a pickup truck load. That doesn't seem too out of line for split wood, if I get 1/3 cord in the bed, loaded with a skid loader (ahem Bobcat, but I can't say that).

No - that's a good price.

do you know how hard it is to make liquid firewood?

:)

(isn't there something like that in one of the Harry Potter books?)

Actually it isn't that difficult - I did it in 7th grade science class - distillation of wood experiment, heat some wood in a test tube, get wood gas and ugly liquid stuff....

Sounds a bit like creosote doesn't it? ;-P

Actually the teacher told us it was a combination of creosote, water and wood alcohols.... I don't doubt him.
