Found a wood/stump recycling place near by. Talked to the owner 20$ a truck load wood is bucked into stove size pieces.
Drive up to the pile pick your pieces, pay and leave. All most seems like cheating. I seem to spend a lot of time trolling for free
wood which I do enjoying doing, but one easy load a month would be nice.
 
Sounds like a great deal! For $20 per load, I would get as much as I could. If you figure the work and gas you would have to put into cutting that much yourself, it's almost free.

Last year I found a guy that logged his woods and charged me $30 per load to pick up what he cut into rounds. I ended up with 3 full cords of oak for a cheap price of $120. I should of got more.
 
In Maryland. It will be easier then having to hurry up all the time get the free wood.
 
THis may give you some reference..

About 2 months ago, we had an opportunity to buy some logs on the landing from a logger friend..Told me $45 for the pile it ended up being about a 1 and 1/3 cords. Mostly maple with a little cherry, elm, ash...It was about 45 minutes round trip with the big trailer but I figured I could not get it out of the woods for that price. Could put the truck 10 ft from the pile.

Is it hardwood? cut to length is a great thing!! CONGRATS!!
 
John what part of Maryland are you in and what is the name of this place? I am in western MD and would be interested in some $20.00 dollar a load wood if it is not too far to drive.
 
Thats a pretty good deal, go for it.
 
North East MD by Delaware
 
John, could you please provide a name of the place or telephone number. It would be greatly appreciated.
