Just got a new neighbour and they couldn't be bothered to move the firewood from under the car port into the house. Admittedly it was up 3 very steep flights of stairs. So they asked if i wanted it they said it had probably been there 10 years. I backed up the ute and got 4 loads like this.
They also mentioned there was another few loads (~ 15 ute-fulls) at the end of the car port. I got a few of them but unfortunately it was stored under the run off from the car port roofand the tarp had deteriorated so it was covered in 'stuff'. Some had gone punky but 90% was good solid wood, even the ones directly on the floor were OK.
Tried some this week as we are having another cold spell and the wood is unbelievable - even with the air turned down on the big stove it cruised @ 600 all night. I cant wait for my stacks to be this good.
