Bucks county pa firewood help

[DIYstoveGUY]

So I know its late in the season but does anyone know of places that actually sell SEASONED firewood under 20% moisture inside a split? I've been to a number of places in Doylestown, warminster, Bensalem and Huntington valley. So far no good wood and got a half cord of kiln dried with the lowest measurement at 25% that in taking back tomorrow. I ran short on my own supply and have been getting screwed since. Burning some North Idaho energy logs for now.

Did you look at the large tree supplier on Route 611 near Edison Furlong Road. They always have a big stack that sits there year round... like hundreds of cords.

 

[DIYstoveGUY]

Yes he's one of places I've been. Although his wood is pretty good, it's never under 20%. Most places take their measurement on the outside of a split that's been sitting in a pile or stack for months.

Ever see anybody that lives in your area with large stacks of their own?
IMO woodburners tend to be good people on the average...it might be worth your time to stop and ask someone like that if they'd be willing to trade wood...your green for their dry...you'd hafta do all the hauling and work of course...and if it were me I'd be giving them more than I'm taking, just to be fair about things...especially if the wood species are not equal (them getting same, or better)
Short of that about the only thing I can suggest is to supplement your wood by adding some kiln dried scraps (construction cut offs, pallets, etc) to each load of your less than optimal firewood...kinda average out the moisture content of the load, not ideal but it works in a pinch.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll keep my eyes peeled for other people burning but I can't say that I know anyone else that has a stove. As far as the work of moving and hauling the wood, I'd me more than willing if I could find someone in the area and was willing to trade.... I've got plenty of green wood lol

That was a tremendous help, thanks for noticing! Think that's the only one left on the house and it's hanging on by a thread lol

Our goofy cat decided to scale our kitchen window screen last summer (outside) they are casement windows so the screen is on the inside, the window was open (obviously) and I was at the sink...kitty got a bath from the kitchen sink sprayer
His claws left small holes though ...hope that wasn't from his hasty exit

 

[DIYstoveGUY]

Damn cats lol. The screens I DID have at my place were horrible, I guess from being on the outside of the window they all started getting warped and the clips that latch and hold them into the casing all broke or just don't work anymore... we never really have the windows open here just the screen doors in the spring
