That back ground in the pic and the sand sure reminds me of the barstowe area and Ft Irwin.

I burn mostly Oak and Alder, use Pine or Cedar to get a bed of coals, then go to hardwood.

What are you folks paying for a cord of wood in your area? That's if you have to pay for it. Oak's $ 350 dry, and about $ 250 or less for anything else. Just North of us in So Ore it's almost have that. Drive a little save a lot ......LOL.

Pay for!!! I get a Forestry permit for $25 and go get my own, that is if I need more than I collect during the year. We have a tree company here that will deliver a roll-off for $500. Thats around 7-9 cords of mixed wood.

Used to chop wood when I was a kid for winters at my parents house. Usually we last thru one winter with 1-2 cords in between. The wood were mostly pine and fir. My dad got them free at his work where they had hosted forest logger's tourmants there. That was many years ago!

I wonder of anyone could help me with something? I'm looking for 2 tree stumps with a circle of 12-14 inches and height 12 inches... wood can be cedar, oak or hardwood.

They're for my van project and is a important part of the project. I would pay for shipping- please PM me. Thanks!
