Spoke with Bunky from St. Johns rd last night and it's $150 a cord delivered. I'm gonna pass for that price. Got a cord coming in on Monday from a guy on CL for $120. I'll let you know how it looks.

Hey sorry I didn't get back to you sooner, PM sent - but it looks like you already called him. Sorry.

150/cord delivered is a good price. I'll pay that if there's anyone that delivers to the West Friendship/Sykesville Main St. area. If so, PM me so that I don't miss the reply.

Thanks

His sign clearly says 125 for local delivery. Was he adding a delivery charge?

It's amazing how expencive a cord of wood is here in md. It's $60-80 a cord in western NY (buffalo area).

Dunno but I said could you come down if I got 2 and he said $290 so I went elsewhere.

Crow Bait · Jan 12, 2014

Very Strange. I snapped this picture of his sign three nights ago. I'm not going to say he was trying to cheat you, but seems it should have been $250 plus a little for delivery if he thought you were outside of 'local'.

Sorry it was a goose chase.

I've been doing a little internet research, does anyone burn pine in their stoves? I've always been under the impression thats always a big no, but the more I read, the more I see it being referred to as an old wives tale. Green wood will build up creosote no matter what type of tree...

It seems what everyone agrees on as well as how fast it burns. Lots of people in other parts of the states mention primarily burning softwoods like Pine due to their harvesting options.

From what I understand pine generally burns faster and you'll use much more wood. Creosote generally builds from slow burns that aren't hot enough or a lot of moisture in the wood.

I got a truck load of pine this last summer and burned the whole thing already. No problems. I had huge like 18-20 inch diameter pieces i would put in with some oak before going to bed and it would be basically gone 8 hours later. So yeah it burns pretty quick.

Got a big tall pine that is going to be cut down in the Spring, I think it's going to be split up for firewood.

dtmeyers · Feb 6, 2014

I burn well-seasoned (1-2 years) to start the fire. Before going to bed I load it up with some Oak to get it real hot to burn off any creosote that might have formed.

I wouldn't let the fire die out with Pine but starting it with Pine should be no issue

Good guy, gives a good price, and always get more than I pay for. Been buying from him for a few years now.

whats the price this year? im looking for firewood.. delivered in northern calvert.

JKOwens · Nov 11, 2014

Same here, I'm looking for firewood down in Odenton. Anyone know of a reputable dealer down here? I've phoned Garman lumber a few times to pick some slabwood up but they aren't answering.

Getting ready for the winter.. bump..

Anybody bought from Kelly's trees in Dunkirk?

Any review of them from smd peeps?

Winged Pig · Aug 31, 2017

I bought two cords from Kelly a few years ago. Not the driest wood I've ever purchased, nor was it the fullest cord, and it wasn't cheap. Not saying he shorted me, just that I was used to what Mr. Beale would deliver, and that is always more than a cord. I'm not sure what I paid for it though and it was not all hardwood.

I went back to buying from Loveville timber works. Mr. Beale does add a surcharge for coming all the way to northern Calvert, but his wood is always cut to a good length, always dry and I always get more than I pay for, with regards to a cord.

Even with paying his premium I still pay about 1/4 of what it would cost to buy oil all winter, and I enjoy the wood stove much more than the noise from the furnace.

Thanks.. appreciate the info.. will check on loveville timber..

Edit:. Just called him.. he was about to setup his firewood sale next week.. (he was at UMD open house when i called).

His price is pretty much same what I got quoted from Kelly's.
