The people falling for this shit are even stupider than the flatlanders up here paying an extra $100 a cord for “organic” firewood.

And no… not making that up! They are lining up to buy organic firewood…

Uh, @oneshot86

Mikey, sounds like you should set up a couple of cords as a joke test bed.

If the dumbasses want to pay extra for nothing, well....

I am serious... they sell it as 'organic' because they cut on the sides of ridges above where it gets chemical runoff. And all the trees are 'naturally' growing, not farmed. Can't make this shit up... it's an extra $100+ a cord!

Friend a couple of years ago got asked to do some 'chores' at a condo that some 'new flatlanders' had bought from 'old flatlanders' down near Ludlow. One of the things they asked him to do was "Get that old dirty firewood off the porch and please buy us some new firewood." So he gleefully got paid to load a cord-and-a-half of perfectly seasoned two-year-old firewood off their porch and replace it with a cord-and-a-half of nice, clean green firewood! And they paid him to take it away!

Can't fix stupid... yet these people who live in New Yawk City... blame us for climate change because we have pickup trucks and tractors.

This is why these cities need to be towed out to sea and sunk!!

I get that also.
Right now I have 2 big piles, one is 1 year old split live oak. Literally the best firewood known to mankind, already gray.
But people want to pull up to the newer split pile and adamantly want that wood vs the grayish wood because it looks better. Now, the rounds the live oak was split from are a couple years old and barkless, great wood, just to be perfect needs to sit in the sun and breeze to vapor off, Jan Feb, wood.
They'll say we cleaned out the old stuff we bought from you last year and we're ready for more, I just scratch my head

I kinda feel guilty with what we charge as it is.
.83 a piece these days, $25 for 30 pieces
I know what you're saying.
We had a scout group (at Kenny's Liquors 😄) selling firewood on Saturday. They were like $35.
They sold all of it though.

I do think a joke with a limited supply sign would be hilarious.

I wonder how many people would actually want to buy it, not knowing it's all organic...

Peeples iz stoopit.

Firewood is a study in social science. You would think that people would buy it either dry or store it. But they don't seem to do either one, they just screw the whole process up. They buy wood when winter is coming, and for some reason it needs to have a certain look that they have in their heads. OR they buy green wood wrapped in plastic at the grocery or convenience store for crazy prices - you would think that the condensation in the plastic would be a clue, but it nope. People who do these things do not possess the ability to engage in forethought, and there are a ton of them.
