Kiln dried kindling?

I'm not in Michigan but I get mill ends for $20 a bin (1/3 cord). I would search for lumber mills and see if they will sell you ends or dunnage. I could buy carts of dunnage (way over a cord) for $40 when I worked at a mill. I burn the mill ends all day and save the good wood for the evenings.

Or instead of buying a pallet OF kindling, you can use old pallets FOR kindling. Careful of the nails.

Buy pallets of kindlin? Pallettes is what I use for kindlin. Check craigslist in your area under free. I'll bet there are plenty to be had or just do some dumpster jumpin at a construction site.

Check if your local high school has a woodworking shop. Ours has a dumpster out back that is loaded with scrap that would make good kindling. You may need to pick through it for what would be appropriate to burn. Haven't checked out ours yet because we have plenty already but know of several others who use it as a regular source of kindling. Of course, my hubby doesn't like me to "find" more wood because I tend to have piles, trailer loads, etc etc of the stuff.. always thinking of ways to use it for projects and saying "I can make something out of that!!".

Buy? The OPE store around the corner puts out these nice pallets, more than I can use, and there are ALL oak! Check around, you should be able to find free wood.

Why not just dry your own kin'lin. With the large ratio of mass to surface area, it doesn't take long. I split up one or two years worth at a time and store it in the house.

Kiln dry MC will vary depending on intended use. KD construction lumber is sopping wet compared to KD for furniture or cabinet making. How it is stored is also a big factor.

Pete, I have some extra kindling on hand if you need it. Come on over next spring while I'm splitting and I'll show you a way to make kindling super fast!

Just give me a call Pete. We have a pretty good amount as it appears the train people won't need any this year and I'll certainly make a bunch next spring. I'll save that until you can come over so you can see how fast and easy it is to make the Backwoods Savage way.

I get more kindling than I can ever use from deadfall branches from all the trees on our lot each year .... and we have only a half acre.

If you run out of that type of kindling jharkin, feel free to come scour our woods. We have plenty. Especially after cutting a few thousand pine trees we now have a super amount of pine that can be used for kindling.
