Last winter I finished off my supply of firewood that I had stored from a fallen Live Oak tree in my grandmaw's yard. The wife and I really enjoy burning the fireplace so I guess I will be buying firewood for this winter.
I know that I will go broke if I buy the small bundles they Sale at Albertsons so I am looking to buy a larger quantity. This will be the first time I buy firewood in bulk so I am hoping to get advice from my Salty Cajun friends. Does anyone have any advice on where to purchase firewood in bulk around the Lafayette area? I dont mind traveling an hour or so for a good deal from a trustworthy source. How much wood do you think I will burn in one winter in a fairly small fireplace? We typically burn 1-2 times per week. I am thinking 1 cord will suffice. What type of wood should I look to buy or stay away from? As I said I have been using wood from a live oak tree but I know that there are many different options. I am looking for firewood that burns well but does not "break the bank." I do have a 9 month old daughter so the smoke produced would definitely be a factor. What should I expect to pay for a cord of firewood that is chopped and ready to burn? How long should the wood have been drying out to burn good this winter? I appreciate any advice you all can provide! |
