Free wood

There is no such thing as free wood. I used to get my side stoking wood from a local cabinet making shop. They took container after container of oak, cherry, maple and birch kiln dried wood to the dump every week. I'd bring home a pick up or two to side stoke my wood kiln. It ain't free really as it would take me driving and man handling the stuff. Now they have decided I might drop a piece on my baby toe and sue them so it is no longer available. This week I ended up paying for the side stoke wood and got the rock elm from a friend for free. Well, free means, gas, a morning to pick it up, a sharpened chain saw, and an afternoon to saw it into firebox wood.
