Most of us have either learned the hard way, heard it here, or just come to accept the "golden rule": You can't buy seasoned firewood from a firewood dealer. However, time or money contraints, special circumstances, etc. sometimes lead us to a point where we can't get our wood up and drying soon enough, even if we are quite familiar with the Golden Rule. I'm making this PSA for people in CT, because I found decently dry wood, and I'd like to support the guy who is actually providing it, as well as possibly turn the trend around of people buying wet wood and just allowing dealers to continue selling the stuff.
I bought a cord of wood from this guy:

I got the stuff, and it's split small, bucked to about 16-18", but most of all, it's DRY. I'd say it's probably in the 25% MC range. It's not absolutely perfect, but it starts up right away, burns hot, and not a hint of anything on the glass. 200 a cord is a bit high, since it can be gotten for 165/cord, but he brings the price down if you get more, and the fact that it's actually burnable(which I've NEVER seen from a seller) leads me to the conclusion of "you get what you pay for"
Mods,
This could be construed as advertising, so remove it if you think I've gone over the line. Maybe people can PM me for the info or something if this is a big no-no.
