I've been noticing people other than myself seem to only want firewood if its nice perfect rounds straight with no crotches.
I seem to get all the knarly twisted cut, bad angles, too long, too short or just plain huge stuff. Unless I go to the woods and cut myself. Even then I don't waist wood, I generally use it all down the the sticks.Sunday a guy seen me loading some wood on the roadside and said he had some for me. When I went to look at it all he had was a 5' diameter nasty twisted maple but log. I said where is the firewood and he replied right there. I said that ain't firewood, thats trash. I also pointed out he let every tom #### and hairy take all the stuff they could pick up and throw in their truck without thinking ahead to what will inevitably be left behind. He said well its free. I said then find another sucker to come and get it. He will end up paying to have it hauled away.
I'm starting to realize if someone has some wood left over from tree cutters its not going to be worth the aggravation and trouble. Even if its all there the way they cut things up just about ruins it for firewood.
