Endless supply eh.

Wonder how much for a chord of that spruce?

 

[Seanm]

Yeah I wonder. Poindexter burns lots of spruce and is happy with it but he also burns lots of birch. I would think since spruce is lower btu than pine or larch it would be cheaper.

I just bought two cords, at $250 a cord. A rip off, it's garbage.

Bummer. From the same batch?

Feast or Famine that's always the game. Usually dry summer and few lightning strikes is what clears it out.
