My biggest burning issue has been that we were temporarily living in a no burn house for one year, before we bought our current abode, complete with insert, and lots of land from which I can harvest firewood. I have about one and a half cords split and stacked for next year, with plenty more to come. Mostly oak, ash, and will have some cedar and pecan on the stacks too before I am done. My issue has been what about this year? I have scrounged up some deadfalls that were okay, a lot of punky, but some decent stuff, but I have been desperately searching for some truly "seasoned" firewood for sale for right now. What I have found is most of the firewood dealers down here have it cut, then split it as needed for sale, so it is not truly seasoned and still really wet. But today, I found my huckleberry. Good seasoned wood, and really cheap. I had to drive about 35 miles, but I loaded my truck to the gills for $65! It amounted to just a tad over half a cord, and was cut and split 2 years ago. Mostly red and white oak with some birch and cherry mixed in. I am going to go get another load, if he has any left, and mix in some of my scrounges in with it to try and make it through this year.
