Firewood ?

Thanks SAB1, appreciate your comments, and have to agree !

For everyone's information, 'I would' be burning in a wood fireplace insert,
and a very costly one at that. I also just had installed last season, a new stainless steel chimney liner, 30 feet of it ! $$$

That said, I certainly would not want 'ANYWAY' creosote, to accumulate in liner.

Will continue to search for sources of seasoned firewood, at least cut last Fall or early winter.

Thanks everyone.

If you get down this way with a pickup truck, there's a house across the street from the Merrimack transfer station that has a "free firewood" sign. I'm not sure if it's seasoned though but depending on how much space you have in your yard, you might want to take advantage of any opportunities you find.

Good luck!

We get fire wood cut and split in the spring, stacked in June/ early July ready to burn this season. It is mixed wood,oak birch ect.. Never had a problem with build up of creosote. Keep in mind creosote tends to build up faster if you run your stove/ fireplace at a low temp, we run medium to hot= less build up.
Been doing this for every year for 40 years, same scenario. You pay up the ass for seasoned wood $$$ for what? Letting some other guy let it sit and dry in HIS yard, horse crap! You are running out of time so act now, midway through July better get stacking!!
