Cord of wood

[DD977GM2]

I am thinking I want to buy a cord of wood. Probably a full cord. Anyone have a person they go to or sell outright? This is mearly for when we dont have electricity etc and I need to stay warm with only a fireplace.

get a permit and go cut it.
CL has lots of Free wood in the free section. you gotta be quick. i've scored 10 cords between 2 homes. one guy knocked down 10 30' poplar trees for me so i didn't have to spend all day cutting.

from what i see in the metro area $140-200 per depending on if it's mixed or a full cord of hardwood.

Thanks, i forgot about CL, Just sucks as I am in and out of town so much I have a hard time figuring out cutting my own or even making it to CL adds etc. Time and effort may be just as easy to buy the cord and have it delivered.

Hardwood, in Colorado?

The one thing I'd caution against is burning too much pine in your fireplace. The creosote buildup from pine is much faster than from actual hardwoods. Chimney fires are a real spooky event and could cost you your entire home (My folks learned that lesson when I was a teen - scared the crap out of me because there isnt a lot you can do to put the fire out). If you do use much pine or heavy creasote woods, make sure you get a chimney sweep to clean you out regularly (I recommend annually, and yes, chimney sweeps still exist).

Something I already knew, appreciate the reminder though. We had the chimney cleaned before we moved into my house just so we had a time frame of when it was last done. We have not burned any wood in it since we moved in.

not sure where you are, but Franktown Firewood has a good variety of hardwoods. all their stuff is seasoned.

it's not the cheapest, but it is good.

YOu should have said something last week. I just sold out of my last cord of mixed lodgepole and russian olive hardwood. Firewood is a good way to make a living in the winter. I can buy an unsplit cord for $15, and sell it for $125-$150 split. You just have to invest in a good log spliiter!

russian olive, russian elm, apple crabapple. yeah hardwood. its here. i have a place north of ft fun that the lady wants some more of the russian olives taken down. we took 12 trees last year, the trees sit on 2-300 acres.
after the tornado in town we were going to take all the downed trees in the neighborhood. unfortunately 95% of them had more shit imbedded, wasn't worth the hassle
