Just sold a G100 to a guy to replace his 17 year old Woodmaster, he has maybe a two acre lot with a total of five trees on it, anytime he sees a tree service working he stops and asks if he can have it. Once the G is up and running he probably has three years worth of wood stacked up. A lot of times it’s already cut short enough as well so all he has to do is bring it home and split it. If there is some to beefy for him to lift, he takes his splitter along to get it. He’s 65 this year btw and just retired, drives for Uber in his spare time, real sharp cookie and a Vietnam vet.

Put in a MF10000 in an ag frat house Virginia Tech 11 years ago. 10,000sq.ft. ,4 furnaces, 2 water heaters. Said these Guys will never cut firewood for this thing, but they found a tree trimmer that was paying to dump his wood at the landfill. They get all the wood they can handle already cut dumped in front of the furnace. But it takes a pile of adult beverages to get the wood split. The pile of cans gets about as big as the woodpile at times.House set up for 40 Guys. say they never run out of hot water with stove on, about 3 showers with it off.

Here in Wisconsin, the countryside is made up of thousands, probably millions of 10 to 40 acre fields, each surrounded by a fence row determined to slowly take back the land cleared in the 1800s. Just about any farmer will jump at the idea of having someone trim up his fence rows free of charge.

Yeah, make friends with your neighbors, watch Craigslist in the summer.

Seems like any of the tree service guys around by me either sell their wood or use it themselves. I've gotten lucky on Craigslist quite often, when the time comes I just go out to the land and get the wood I need but that's a lot more work than picking it up. I just got 15 box elder trees dropped at my place, they burn hot and leave a lot of ash but free is free!
