It didn't occur to me that wood mills would also have a slow year. One of my summer chores is to purchase three yards of mill ends for firewood. This year the vendor was only able to get sixteen yards. Due to my continued calling to check on availability it was my good fortune to get my usual load.
Usually there are some pieces cut to 8/4 and 5/4. This year all but a few small pieces were rough cut to 7/8".
Even those had more smaller pieces than usual.
At least there are a few nice pieces to pull out for some projects other than burning.
Burning firewood is a very efficient source of heat. It warms you when you cut it, when you stack it, when you pack it and when you burn it.
