Greetings everyone.
We are planning out our wood supply for the next millennium (okay, probably 7 or so years) and are strongly considering getting a semi load of cord wood delivered. I'm curious about others' experiences with getting cord logs delivered. The supplier is saying he would likely bring about 20-23 full cords' worth of logs out on a delivery and is offering up options on diameter of logs and the species we want.
We are currently debating the diameter of the logs we want delivered. Any suggestions from those who have taken on this big of a job? We have an 18" Stihl chainsaw and have learned about (and built) log saw horses and bucking racks.
And we are also debating the species. Part of me wants to get all oak and the other part of me wants to get a mixture of hardwoods, to have different species to choose from for different times of the year and purposes. We already have mostly oak and a bit of mixed on hand, but 20-some cords makes you start to consider things differently given that this will last us a good long while.
Thoughts/suggestions?
