Well, this was my first year of c/s/s and I ended up with about 4 cords from the rounds that I got from my neighbor. I figured out that last season I went through about 1.5 cords, and it was a pretty warm winter. I should be good for next year, if not two years with what I processed this summer. Unfortunatly, I have to purchase wood again for this season while I wait for all that to dry out.
I contacted a local guy who lives on ~25 acres of almost nothing but locust trees. He said that he has sold over 700 cords of locust over the past 15 years. He is going to deliver 1 cord of locust, 1 cord of mixed hardwoods (oak, maple, elm, etc) to my house and stack it for $160. Considering this guy lives about 35 minutes away, I thought that was a great deal, considering last year I paid $150 for less than 2 cords of mixed wood and I had to go get it myself. (2 cords of locust delivered and stacked would have been $180)
Here's to hopefully buying wood for the last time!
