Moved into a new house last fall, and have been scrambling to get a wood supply built up. Previous owner left me just enough wood to get thru last fall, and then I limped thru the winter splitting up some old rounds he had left lying on the ground. Far from ideal.
Because it was such a light winter, I was able to get a little ahead, and I have one cord CSS'd and seasoning since January. I was able to add another three cords to that this past weekend, from wood I had trucked home over the last month.
A year ago, I'd have just figured on burning that this fall, but you folks have made me realize I might be better off reserving it to dry for the following year. That means I'm short on wood for the coming winter, and may want to consider (gasp!) buying some. Yes?
If so, I need some tips on buying firewood. It's something I've never had to do!
Thanks.
