twistedfocus1647545489 Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 I'm about to hit AEP Recreationland this weekend and just realized I'm all out of the firewood I had saved up from my last downed tree. Does anyone know where I can get a small pile of firewood for cheap around here? The gas stations have some but that shit sucks and is way overpriced.:dumb: I just need enough to fill my hitch-mounted carrier, which is maybe 1/8th of a truck bed's volume or less.

harmonda Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 Lots of restrictions on transporting firewood across county lines due to the emerald ash borer. Best to buy local when you get near your spot. Usually lots of places near camping areas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twistedfocus1647545489 Posted August 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 Shit, I forgot about the bug issue. I can probably find some along the way. I have been less than impressed with what's what I've seen for sale but I don't usually need wood so I haven't really looked I guess. I'll just have to look around a little more this time.

XChris1632X Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 Im on 42 between Plain City and Deleware. If you get to back to me before I am done mowing tonight, I can either give this wood away or I am going to burn it all tonight. I lost 3 trees and I dont have enough room for it all.

BDHG940 Posted August 26, 2011 Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 Jason, do you have a truck and a chainsaw? If so, my girlfriend's grandparents have a bunch of downed trees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twistedfocus1647545489 Posted August 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 Didn't see the free wood posts until I got back. Thanks for the offers. I didn't find ANY wood for sale along the way this time. I wound up setting up camp then venturing all the way back to some small town near Zanesville before I finally found a little country store selling wood (~30 mile round trip). I need to look up the specifics on Emerald Ash Borer firewood restrictions. It sure would be nice to source my own as I have in the past but I don't want to be part of the problem, nor would I enjoy paying fines if I was caught. There are no signs about it down there. I know there are signs posted all over the campgrounds up here though. Sometimes sourcing firewood right from the woods around the camping areas is not so bad but the pickings were pretty slim this time. The worst part is after buying $25 worth of wood, my dumb ass left the cooler out and we got raided by punk-ass raccoons. They took almost all of our food including beef, cheese, hot dogs, chocolate bars and the dog's bag of food with her toys/bone inside. I was so pissed I packed up the next evening and went home instead of shopping and coming back. I ended up giving most of my wood away. Fuck Raccoons.

Any signs restricting anything is old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
