We just moved around the Neosho area. I'm putting a wood burning stove in our cabin and with everything being done around here I'm not going to have time to chop firewood for this winter let alone season it. Does anyone know where I can buy it for this year?

In addition to that, this is our first time using a wood burning stove. I've done quite a bit of research so far and I'm confident with the decision, but any tips or tricks from experienced people is always welcome.

Craigslist is your friend and the bulletin board of your local cafe or grocery store and the feed store also.

Found a couple guys on CL selling ricks of wood for around $45. That should give us a good start so I can keep working on insulating and other things that need to be winterized. I don't know why I forgot about CL!

Do not burn Osage Orange (usually called "hedge" around here). It burns too hot and can set your home aflame. Also, it is very hard to cut should you need to fit it in your stove and will dull chainsaws and axes quickly.

I burned hedge for at least 15 yrs in a double barrel stove. Yes for the lazy or unknowing Hedge can be a disaster. You do need to keep your flue open with it.

If you use CL just make sure it isn't wood from a county infested with emerald ash bore...we don't need that getting around.
