Thank you, sir. I don't buy by price and I'd def stay with someone once I find an honest seller.
Around thanksgiving I decided to buy a cord to keep on hand. I had about a cord of cherry but figured I'd get a cord of oak, the cherry burns nice and smells good but goes fast compared to oak, locust... I found a local guy, said he had to deliver, I couldn't pick up. He dropped it in the yard and I had to go to California for a week so the boys stacked it. I got back and have a row about 18' long, 4' high and the prices are 15-17". The wood looks like it was standing dead for a while but when I split it it's wet, hisses like crazy when in the stove. Honestly, it's the hardest wood I've ever had to burn. I have to split it down to 2" sq pieces and It has to be on a heavy bed of coals. His splits are pretty big so I'm going to split them down smaller and let it sit...I'm in need of another cord. This seems to be how every purchase goes. If I could find an honest seller at a reasonable price I'd hang onto them like grim death. Damn shame how a lot of these Craigslist sellers are, I think their average customer doesn't know better so, a lot of times, they get away with it.
