Why is it so hard for people, at least here in sw Ohio, to sell decent firewood?
I comb through all the local adds on craigslist looking for firewood close to home. I pick one and go look at what he is trying to sell, only to find a rack of "overly split" wood.
Now I am not saying that the quality of the wood is bad, but why do these guys split their wood into such small pieces?
I would rather get fewer "good sized" pieces than a whole slew of small pieces that will burn up in no time.
Usually I would not be looking to buy firewood since I have access to over 80 acres of nothing but trees(in another county), but since all these wood destroying bugs are around, I cannot transport.
While searching the net to see which counties in Ohio prohibit transportation of firewood, I came across this:

Kind of interesting to read but, bulleted item#3 and #5 contradict one another.
Maybe I'll take this with me next time I buy firewood, LOL!
