On the contrary that's kind of the situation I wish I had. I'm "over" trying to scrounge wood - CL ads are few and far between as most just sends up on FB marketplace, but the way FB organizes all those ads is pretty irritating and it's easy to not see a new ad for about a week....by which point that wood is long gone. I do have a neighbor who will drop free log loads next to my driveway which has worked out great but that also comes with certain headaches, like a ton of scrap to get rid of.

The more variety of woods I burned over the years the more I come back to ash just being my favorite overall. splits easy, seasons easy, lights and burns easy. What's not to like?

I do agree though I've made many good memories over the years scrounging wood. Meeting other people, talking with land owners, meeting good and bad tree services. It's certainly an adventure lol
It’s a shame marketplace pretty much killed CL and it sucks so bad. I got so much from CL over the years now it’s dead.
 
Nope. Still love it!

I will say that FB marketplace has been slim Pickens for wood the last couple of months, or more. People either want a fortune for what they have, or there’s just junk wood. I check every day. Last year I got a ton.

I can’t even find a a couple cords of log length for less than 100$/cord right now. I am good with wood for a while, but like to replenish what I use as I go to some extent.

With storms this past few summers wood has not been a problem to get. Not a bad problem to just burn through it, there will alwayse be more to find or get if willing to put in the work
