I think I know where you got it. That guy called me last week and left me a message on my cell phone that I didn't check til today. I called him this morning and he said he had posted it on CL and it was all gone in a manner of hours. I have plenty of wood but I would have got some just to try out some black locust. Ha Ha. Like you said there's plenty around. Enjoy it.

Maybe he'll let you cut them down before they fall on his house.==c
 
Nice roaring hot fires with that. Remember 3 years now;)
 
Three years no way, split it ASAP single stack it, place it in the sun and wind, it will be ready sooner then most say. It is yellow when first split but turns reddish on the outside as it dries, I have a load from Mother's Day that is now at 19%. Do the job right, you will achieve...
 
Look at those tiny sticks on the back on that stack!!

I REALLY love loading it in the stove on a single digit night in the middle of January, just before bedtime......
Because I know when I get up in the morning, the house will still be in the 70's and there will still be a huge bed of red-hot coals in the stove awaiting a reload!!

I can't take credit for it.....some of it I learned by trial and error, but a lot of it I learned by being on here with guys like Dennis, among many others.....you'll be a pro in no time.
