Get Wood for Free

[Ashful]

This has a large range depending on where you are, but you should be able to find a cord for no more than $250ish. Maybe under 200 if you're lucky.

If you can find a cord for $200 with any kind of dry time on it, consider yourself lucky. Going price here is $225 for a cord split yesterday.

Yep, that's what I would do if I was against the wall for dry firewood. Talk to friends and co-workers and find someone with a woodlot where you can go and get small, dead trees with the bark fallen off. That stuff is usually ready to burn, or very close. That's really your only hope unless you can find a source of dry wood, which is hard to do.

just be carefull dropping them if they are still standing. many a person has lost life to dead branches coming down.

Purchasing wood is a lot like buying a house...three words always come into play; "Location, Location, Location."

Does anyone have suggestions and tips on how I can go about collecting wood on the cheap?

It's a simple 3 step process

1) Get a truck, a saw, and other wood cutting accoutrements

2) Let everyone know you're on the prowl for firewood

3) Be ready at all times to capitalize on an opportunity
