I'm gonna bet that you would have far better luck if you were asking if they had any to SELL. After all, this IS a firewood forum! Guys that come here are in to firewood and making it and they use it or sell it.

And if you feel the need to dispose of excess cash, just PM me, and I'll be glad to help.

Seriously though, not a great time of year even to be buying wood. What you can find will likely be wet or even green, and pricy, if you can get honest measure. If you can work it up yourself, you have at least three options to investigate:
1. Scrounge it. Cruise local back roads for storm-downers. Ask folks if they want storm damage cleaned up. Hit the dumps and companies with used-skid piles.
2. Investigate cutting dead/down trees in state forests. Likely, you'll need to buy a permit for X cords.
3. Buy grapple-loads of cull logs from local loggers.

The above presumes that you're able-bodied, capable of the dangerous, intense work, AND have the tools. Gotta plan ahead, or pay the man.

You could try a pellet-stove, but good luck on finding decent pellets at this time of year.

I'm sure that there will be plenty of sarcastic and/or truthful answers to you question. I would ask (not that I can help you from KS) what are your circumstances? There are a lot of charitable folks on this site who are willing to help those in a genuine time of need. It can be a hard thing to ask for help, especially publicly, but given that you have, it would likely help your cause greatly if you explained the request. As mentioned above, many in here are either heating with it, selling it or both. In any of the cases, it represents income to them and most don't freely part with theirs without good reason. I mean no sarcasm by this. Just a suggestion.

Getting my own firewood is too much work.

Call the businesses in your area and ask if they have free pallets to get rid of. Many are hardwood such as oak. Cut'em up and toss'em in.

This OP is what one defines as a troll.......no offense meant to "Saw Troll".

free wood. $35,000-$45,000 investment required.

Stumpage by the cord is most places not that bad. Then just cut primo.

I used to scrounge a lot, my criteria was, will it burn?

I got about 15 cords split and stacked since may 2013 and I am in it about $40 (Fiskars x27) $100 gas money, (3) 12 packs of negro modelo (beer for tree service who drop off wood) so about $185 total. What are you referring to for $35-45k investement?

I think youre pretty far from Collegeville, but I have offered someone around to come cut the smaller stuff from a cutting spot I have. could definatly fill a truck just have to wait for the ground to freeze again

Only 12 replys, I figured people would be lined up to give away wood.

This thread reminds of jackasses that stand at the corner intersections with signs begging for cash... You tend to see the same able bodied people day after day. Makes one wonder why they just don't go get a job? Could it be that they don't want lose their welfare bennies...

I'm all for helping people who can't help themselves but refuse to enable welfare junkies. To these people I say go get an F'n job.

Have you tried Craigslist? Try searching for tree or wood. This should be nearby if it's still available.

Always a day late. I was going to ask for free wood. He beat me to it.

I just saw a cl ad yesterday for free firewood, guy had four dump truck loads, cut and split, he needed gone asap. He was even willing to deliver! I called, thinking I could get that much farther ahead. I figured I would even give him some cash. Never heard back from him. I just keep telling myself it was poplar anyways.
