So I finally stopped at the lumber processing plant that I pass by on my way to the vacation house and asked then for scraps. I loaded up the car with a bunch of 6x6x8†(I assume) pine blocks. Thought they were kiln dried, but they're apparently green wood.
Pros: free. Unlimited supply. Perfect size to load up a small firebox and pack in. no work at all.
Cons: pine. Wet.
If they were dry, this would be a no-brainer. Still seems like a pretty good deal though. Wondering how long they'll take to dry. Thinking small bark less pieces of pine will dry pretty quick. Since this couldn't possibly be less work, I'm still excited. Figure I can get a cord or so before the summer, have it dry by next year, and use it while I'm home to trends the fire, saving the better stuff for at night.
