Guys, I think its a sign... last year the wood I got, I was not impressed with. The first year I got wood from a local guy and it was pretty darn good, and I got it pretty late in the season (Mid-November).
I burned through my 2 cords last year very quickly (and I didnt really think it was that cold of a winter in CT.)
This year I bought 3 cord for around $720. The moisture content in this wood has been off the charts, and a lot of the wood is clearly insect riddled. I am definitely going to have to do a mid-season clean on the liner. The creosote must be pretty dang bad from this wood.
Anyone in CT know of a good wood supplier? I'm just getting fed up with this crap. None of the wood felling companies will drop off wood, and I don't have a truck to pick up road-side stuff. I mean if I'm going to pay $700 for 3 cords, I'm tempted to buy a ton or two of Bio-bricks at around the same cost.
