I'm a new to burning, first year. I'm getting plenty of exercise scrounging up firewood around town. This is the second big score from Craigslist because the poster misspelled "Firewood" This ad for 3 cords of free Walnut was a week old when I found it. The posting headline- "Fir wod" was in the general for sale section. It is at least 3 and maybe close 4 cords of English walnut! Nice scenic drive out to Capay Valley in Yolo County, about 45 minutes. I read it is middle grade firewood. It sells for average $200 cord around here,can't beat free! Actually, it will cost me about $100. I rented a trailer, and 2 trips means $60 in gas for the truck. Already bucked into 18" rounds. I'll be hooking up "The Stickler"-DUHN,DUHN, DUHN!(scary music!)this weekend. Neighbors are starting to call me Paul Bunyan. I'm starting to think that my new habit of collecting firewood can also be a way to put away some $$ trying to sell some that I've collected. I have close to 8 cords since March 2012. Two cords of oak, 1 cord of mulberry, 1 mixed cord of cedar, pine, cottonwood. This 3-4 cords of walnut. All for free, just the price of fuel and effort.
