Btw: Do people really honor the notes on the wood? It seems to me you can't claim until

Sorry guys even I couldn't even get another cord and I was one of his best customers. He said the demand was insane this year and he had to take care of some family members. Last year around this time he was calling me randomly begging me to take another load as people weren't coming through for the deliveries.
Sorry to hear BillLion that you got shorted. When you find a honest dealer take care of him. Every cord I have stacked from him as been over. A rare find. Maybe its the tip in a case of beer that helped me out... He took care of a referal or two this year so maybe next year for those of you in the New Haven area.
I don't have the time but there is a TON of free wood to be scrounged around here in the New Haven area. Tree trimming by UI has been in full force. Orange Center Rd in Orange, CT was a field day this past week. They just drop em and leave them right there on the side of the road. Lewis Tree service is doing the work and they said help yourself when I asked.

That's my issue; the time. I don't really think there is such a thing as free wood. You pay cash or you pay in time and sweat. I don't mind the sweat part, I actually love splitting wood. It's just the time. Hunting, bucking, etc. Plus if you don't have a proper vehicle, it really is tough.
Lots of stuff out there though for people willing and able to go get it!
Btw: I'm hearing the same thing about suppliers all around here. I think so many people ran out in the arctic winter last year that they're trying to get a jump on it this year!

I did the same calculations last winter , its just how my mind works .Also went on to calculate the actual stove efficiency ,house heat loss calculation . Its just fun with a calculator. My son is worse than me , he weighs his wood per load and calculates the heat value .

Half of me is doing the same math... the other half is suggesting medication.

Update: I stacked it and measured twice. It's about 24% short of a a full cord.
I hope he'll make it right; he does want some tree business from me after all. I'll work on that. Even if he doesn't I'm ok based on the price and quality compared to other dealers.
Quick question: Is this red oak? I assumed it was hickory:
