I'm good this year too. I get 2 cords at a shot and the fellow uses a
generous measure for it, compared to others. Fireplace split, all
hardwood. Generally pretty well seasoned. $285 for 2 cords.
Technically he prices by the truckload but I forget the tonnage of the
truck (it's not like a ford flatbed or anything, big monster), Stacked
you get 2 rows, 4.5ft high and about 30ft long.

That reminds me, time to order another stacking unit (firewood holder).
I'm slowly adding 1-2 a year for better storage. Right now I only have
about 32ft worth plus a cheater that uses 2x4 runners which have to be
replaced pretty often since it sits on the ground.

Thats pretty much what we get.

Here's the cheater:

The cheater works well enough in the center of 2 of the better ones.

Right now we have less than that amount since we burned much last year,
but we have plenty for this winter then will order more in spring. I
have enough for a harder winter right now since I had about 3/4 cord
left when I ordered 2 more last year. I have about 1.5 of their
version of cords left.

When we order more, we deconstruct the remaining and stack the new then
add the old on top.

PS: heating with wood effectively will drop your bills but takes some
work to do. It's also great to be able to have a backup incase of a
power outage.
