At the risk of being rep correct: most firewood dealers HAVE to be honest: "seasoned" is seasoned; green is green. Learn the difference between green and just wet. It's a tough enough business not to have nickel and dimers chiseling pennies from a stone.
Milk is $5/ gallon; do you ask for it at $3. ? Petrol ? RAM ? Hanes u-pants ?[/quote]
Maybe you ought to read the threads here a little more closely? There are dozens, if not hundreds of people,albeit, mostly newbies that tried to buy seasoned wood, and were told it was so, only to be sadly dissapointed. I don`t think you have any idea of how many people every year decide to jump into the "selling firewood" business, and then soon give it up cause it is too hard a work,for too little profit.
Not everyone is like Lees-wood and have been in business for a long time and is reputable. The vast majority think that it is just fast and easy money,until they actually have to do the work. Anyways, you are missing the point-(you should always be ahead on your wood supply-never behind). Most firewood dealers do not have to be honest, they are not around long enough to have to worry about that. If you do find a good one, like the aforementioned, then best to stick with him. With the rest, It`s Just A Crap
Shoot.
I have been a wood-burner for the past 30 years,and have seen more of these guys come and go, than you are old.
And fyi, I`m not asking for $5 milk for $3, just that most of these people that deliver csd,can carry 2 cords csd, and by me buying 2 cords at once saves them on fuel and time, that is why they offer a slight discount.
So take that,
ye cad For the most part, that loot is cash only, therefore no taxes to be paid by the vendor.[/quote]
Cad here.....and here....You ain't Brit are ye ?
And how is the H do you know how old I is ? How in the name of %$#@* do you know how long I've been heating with wood in a real temperate climate, not some Cad wimp place like the PNW where it rains 100% of the time and never ever goes below 10 C !!
The wood heat and wood Vitae is summarized below--read it lad. "LAD"
!! ????
Yes, we have heated with wood since the glory days of the 70's with more STOVES THAN YOU COULD EVER KNOW. ( That's to show you shouting I think) . Take that Cad.
Real wood burners Downeast who buy firewood are rarely cheated, if they were there would be H to pay, and ALL ( there's that shout again !) firewood dealers here that I am acquainted with ( "never end on a preposition" said our neighbor E.B. White) are scrupulously honest, have been selling firewood for many years, and do pay taxes.
Now maybe on the Left Coast, things are different.
So there you old Cad . "CAD"
!????? How old are ye ? And, do you know Mr. Lees Wood personally ? I don't, but he sounds pretty straight forward. Don't ye think so ? Our cousin Joe from Casteltownbere in County Cork, Ireland, use "ye" all the time. Are ye from Ireland ?
