    Turned out the guy was a scammer. Got a notice from Armslist. First deal for me and the last on Armlist.

    So after a month of burning my imported firewood, I prefer the Brazilian over the Indian. Indian has better BTU content content, but Brazilian is easier to start and easier to split. The Indian stuff appears to be some sort of hardwood that is very light weight but hard to burn unless fire bed is already hot.

    Just imagine the size of your carbon footprint, lobo. Importing firewood, burning it, splitting it, carrying it (extra breathing). You must plant some trees, friend.

    No, I did not meet him. I had an inclination that this was a strange deal, hence HB offered to accompany me if we did meet up.

    All negated by the fact that I am actually recycling wood that ends up in landfills. At least that is what I tell environuts.

    It is the crating and framing that our granite slabs are packed with in the shipping containers.

    The company likes it because it saves them a small amount of labor not having to break/cut it down(I do it after hours) to fit in dumpster. Each container load will fill the 3 yard dumpster and costs $75 to empty.

    The ultra liberal environmentalist business owners next door to our slab yard give me thumbs up because I told them I haul it off for recycling. Did not tell them I burn it for heat, but discovered later they don't cry too much over fireplaces/stoves.
