I believe if I was you I would be all over that one. Delivered, cut & split.
Yes, I'd take it all without a second thoughtCall him and get the rest of it.
Just keep in mind that OO isn’t worth a hoot for starting a cold fire. The stuff is so darn hard it doesn’t readily light from low temp flame. That said - I would be hoarding that stuff like gold nuggets. I have had a few stove loads this past winter (and many winters past) and there is almost no comparison on the length of burns that stuff puts out.,
Verify that these are full cords and not face cords.
Guess I need to be in Hagerstown to get the delivery. Too bad I'm a county away.
Hello neighbor.... Frederick County?
I find it easier to put dense wood like White Oak or BL in on a decent coal bed to get it burning easier. I'm assuming that the Hedge I have will be the same, whenever I get around to trying it. If I'm starting a cold stove, I'll put a couple of dense splits in the back but start the fire in the front with some Red Oak, White Ash or other easy-to-start wood.I start a fire with hedge all the time. It's a non issue
Well... so... about that Osage Orange...
We had a lot of rain, and the guy told me he was stuck in the mud and wouldn’t be able to get a load of wood to me until the ground dries. I told him no worries... hit me up when you can get the load. He also then asked me if I wanted a cord of oak for $120 in addition to the Osage orange. I told him I had wood purchasing obligation to another guy and we could play it by ear.
So far..I haven’t heard from him since. I’m not seeking him out... I figure if he really wants to sell the wood he will reach out.
