Get a recommendation from someone, or at least cut into the wood you are buying to make sure it is not green or sappy. Some dealers deliver, while you must haul your own wood from others. You can find dealers listed under Firewood in the Yellow Pages, under the Services Directory in the classified advertising section of The Eagle, and in other publications and on community bulletin boards. While people such as Schrag are able to put a dent in their utility bills by heating with wood, the cost of wood also is going up this year. At Nutsch's, a rick is 4 feet by 8 feet by 18 inches of wood.
Mixed wood is the same price as last year.
Cutting your own For Schrag, part of the appeal of burning wood is cutting his own. It's some work, but I enjoy cutting wood. It gives you good physical exercise. It's hard to describe it in terms of accomplishment, but once you see a tree down, it's like an artist. Schrag never cuts down any tree that is not dying or dead or that has not been marked for removal to make way for development.
