I'm a real estate developer, and one of my upcoming projects I have going I need to clear cut 3 acres. I am thinking very hard about getting 3 log truck loads delivered, which will be essentially free. This winter I c/s/s one load, basically by myself.
My positives:
- I have the room.
- It's flat.
- I have 2.5 years c/s/s at this point, all done by hand, I just like it, it's exercise for me
- I never burn more than 4 cords in a year
- I can definitely use 3-4 cords off site (cabin)
- I definitely have some friends who would access the pile. Most are recreational burners but 2 are year round guys. I don't give it away but if they wanted to come over and help they could have at it. I don't keep track of work vrs. take.
So I am looking for the negatives of having that much wood. I can easily alter the number of loads, I could even get more, but I can get the loads usually 1-2 times a year, as many as I want.
The negatives:
- I've never had that much
- Risk of my supply rotting, some may not get burned for 5-6 years
- Maybe too much work
Any of you guys with experience have any thoughts or suggestions?
