You can burn it whole as well, works just as well. The key is to have it seasoned to the point where the cracks are showing on the ends. At least 1 year of seasoning, no more than 10 years. Oak burns very well, as does maple, ash, hickory, cherry.
Not sure anyone has a fireplace big enough to hold pieces of the lower part of the tree The circumference would likely make it impossible...

I've only seen one fireplace like that on an estate in the carriage house. Several children actually stood inside of the box with plenty of room to spare. I wish I could have seen it when it had actually been used.
I ordered a full cord 4x4x8 for delivery Saturday from woodvalley firewood, vinny. An aquaintance recommended them based on his sisters experience a few weeks ago. I'll post back on quality and count (when its stacked). $165 dumped.
Wood was delivered Sat at 3 pm, was told it would be before 12. Wood seems ok, it burns. but the count seems low, I haven't stacked most of it, appears more like a half cord, maybe slightly more. Not bad for 150, but not a 4x4x8 cord either. Am going to try someone else next time.
anyone else that orders wood, please post back so others can learn about different vendors.
Maybe not with storm or gas issues, but anyone buy wood recently? Post your experience please. thanks, looking to buy some additional wood for rest of season.
Pricey yes, but it truly is seasoned and completely kiln dried, so there is absolutely no moisture or bugs, so you can keep it inside. I went to those places that have cords for $50-100, but the wood is ****, full of mold, wet and bugs. No thanks.
I doubt that there is any place that has a Kiln set up to dry fire wood around here and if so It would be priced out of reach.seasoned is one thing but dried in a kiln ??Doubtful.

I realize this doesn't help for this winter, however, if anyone is willing to pick up huge logs of healthy white oak and let it season for next year (no charge!!), let me know; of course you need space to store it.
I have an enormous supply . I'd rather it goes to someone who can save some money than eventually have it picked up by some company...
