I'm pretty lucky... use the same firewood guy for years and he's really convenient and quick.
It's a trailer load and they unload and stack it wherever you want for about $125 a load. Maybe two pickup loads worth.
It's always oak but sometimes you can ask for hickory which I really like... plus, if you give them a few days, they will cut it to the size you want. This is great for me as I have a big fireplace insert and like shorter, fatter logs.

Wish I had a firewood source like that Dave! It's harder to find firewood in Iowa than it was in KY.

From a little bit of digging a standard truck bed loaded is just about a half cord of wood. 125 for a full cord is a good price.
Was supposed to pick up a cord here for 180 but ended up burning leaves and cleaning up the property while the wife went to the state fair with friends.

125 for a cord is a damn good price.
RE: Prepping EOY 2021 - Spring 2022 - dave - 10-04-2021
Probably not quite a cord, I'm going to guess it makes a stack about seven feet long, five feet high, wood is cut about 18" - 20" long.
But, I'm happy with it.

What kind of generators do you all have?? I got nothing but am thinking maybe just a little something for emergency sake?! Tons of folks at Sam's this am looking pretty focused. I bought a 6 tier shelf for pantry, need to get rid of some junk and open up some new storage space!!

I have a Generac XP8000E. I bought it about 12 years ago when there was a massive ice storm and I knew we would be out of power for days. I actually had to drive an hour away to find it. I use the unsafe method of using a male to male extension cord to bring the power into an outlet.
I need to be careful to shut off the main power and all of the breakers before feeding the power into the house. It works really well though. I takes care of about 75% of all my outlets. I have to run an extension cord to my basement freezer but other than that it powers almost everything. It has both electric and pull start.

Day 2 of the 2021 Fall TP debacle. Sam's butt tickets still nowhere to be found!
Anybody else experiencing shortages?!
RE: Prepping EOY 2021 - Spring 2022 - Stank Delicious - 11-03-2021
I've still got TP left over from the 2020 debacle. How much shitting are people doing?

I've got a predator 670 twin that's peaks at 13.5 k. And a Subaru single cylinder good for 7k
