How to find wood
Before purchasing firewood, you must clearly understand your requirements and your market availabilities:
- Construction market
- State of commercial firewood (full cord, half-cord timer or firewood logs)
- Dryness (fresh, half-dried, seasoned wood)
- Terms of delivery (self pickup or door-to-door)
Logging companies and local woods managers are the best procurement source for beginner firewood users, as they normally have all sorts of firewood available from different producers.
A new trend in certain countries is for wood managers to organize firewood or forest days and release information to firewood users.
Basically buyers should mind for quality of firewood as well as for the right price. Particular attention must be paid to small bundles, normally sold by cords, and frequently charged with huge mark-ups.
