...I found this deal. I have always utilized my US Forest Service permit ($20/yr) and scrounged my 4-5 cords. However, I came across a deal at the local lumber mill. I can fill my 6ft truck bed, neatly stacked, to the top of my topper for $40/load--all split and seasoned. The load I just brought home was all locust (except for the last few pieces we threw in to top it off). Seemed like a good deal to me. The load was approx. 6'longX3'highX4'wide. The reasoning for the $40 was because they sell it by weight--$4/hundred pounds. However, the guy said I had a 1/2ton pick up so don't bother even pulling on the scales. $40 it is then.
