Oh never mind :D

Thats far cheaper than here. I would have bought that instead of cutting on my own.

Well, once I run out of trees here ( not many left on my property to cut down) I will either be finding dead trees to chop or buying it. I think Im more for buying it already split, Oak and Hickory is the main source here and I could use hickory to smoke the BBQ as well. If I have it delivered and stacked, I can actually have it stacked in my basement to keep it dry.

Is there a National Forest in your area?

Some cities and towns will let people take trees that had fallen in parks during a storm for firewood.

Yes, a buddy of mine has a letter from the local government stating he is allowed to take trees that are dead or fallen in any park/forest as long as he does no cut or damage living trees. As he heats his home and his hunting cabin with wood.

You could also ask people if they want the wood from a fallen tree if not you could move the wood for them .

I do if its something I can handle, I only have a small 16" chainsaw. If its a small tree where the limbs make nice small logs without splitting and the trunk is small enough to cut through which also make a nice long burn log then Im all for it. Some people have felled trees from storms they already cut up and advertise for free to haul it off.

Mark Twain National Forrest is nearby here as well.

I'm sure each National Forest is different but you might inquire into the Mark Twain one and ask what they offer at certain times of the year in the way of fire wood.....I bet they have a website......

The offers are wide ranging. Some places have you bring your chain saw(with fire suppressant) to cut up trees that they have dragged to a designated area; some places have already cut the trees into logs and you haul away and split, and they (used to, anyway) impose a ridiculously low fees to the really reasonable........

sounds like a plan in the making... thanks for that insight.
 
Too bad you don't live near me. I have a ton of firewood outside from our own trees we've had to take down. We've been burning it steadily in our fire pit, but we're not taking what's left to the new house. Too much of it to move so we're leaving it for the buyers buying this house.

Its now illegal move firewood more than 50 miles, unless it is kiln dried for at least 90 minutes 180 degrees minimum.

I know here in Missouri, they wont allow you to bring your own firewood into the forest or state/national parks due to invasive species or diseases, but as far as for firewood I don't think there is any regulations on it as I know some is shipped in from Pennsylvania. Also logs are harvested in other states and used for log homes all over the US... so depending on the use and other Federal regulations??? Each state is different.
 
Its no longer state issue, its now federal, 50 miles rule applies everywhere, but many not knowing or ignore them. Have nothing to do with park, technically its quarantine, I dont see how its gonna work even though I support these law because I got few ash trees in backyard and I dont want them dead, two of them my neighbor got killed few years ago.

Hmmm, didn't know that. But there have been advertisers selling split seasoned firewood from other states that deliver across the US, If I can find that ad I will post it up for ya, I never heard of the 50 mile rule.

Lol. I'm in Minnesota. I didn't know about the 50 mile rule either so guess that's not an option for ya. While we have a lot of wood, don't think it would've been enough savings to justify the gas to pick it up.
