City Firewood Supplies

If anyone in the Auckland area is still needing firewood for the winter DO NOT (R) DO NOT use these cunts.

Mrs got a top up load from them off grab one, and the shit is so wet it might as well have been dragged out of the sea. If anyone has a order in with them cancel it now and look elsewhere.
Just wasted 2 hours of my life stacking the shit after they dropped it off 50m down the drive. Ah well good for the fitness and it looks like I will be sussed for wood next year.

Anyone else had dealings with these clowns?

I get the firewood in during February. Stack it up and for some weird reason it is all dry for winter.

People who leave it until the last moment will always get wet firewood, from any source, at this time of winter.

It never ceases to amaze me that people buy their firewood mid-winter, and bleat that it's not bone-dry. As always, it's the supplier's fault.

It is there fault. The advert said good quality "dry" firewood. The Mrs brought home a moisture meter from her work and all but one piece we tested came up with over 28% moisture content.

Never a truer word spoken. i'm about half through my dry wood now and have re ordered for next winter. Can't guarantee dry wood this time of year no matter what the wood guys ads say.

Leave him alone ya sad saps.

I loaded up pre xmas but due to my fucked earthquake damaged house you may as well have a conveyor belt feeding wood in to the log burner in an attempt to keep the house warm. Burn 40% more wood than pre fucked house (that's a technical term now in CHCH) so I also end up topping up the wood pile mid winter.

But it does actually get cold down here ........

It's got into single digits up here now too! 9.9 degrees... Do you think I'll make it through the night?

Im already cutting trees down for 2016. The stuff I will be splitting this summer was dropped in 2011. But then I have a forest.

Heh yeah... having no doors that close properly does not do the power/gas bill much good

I hear ya. I'm going through a mtr3 every 10 days or so, the fire has not been out for a month. All in an attempt to stop mushrooms growing on the walls. It's working, though.

I cringe every winter. The retards who live out the back of Mum's place get a cube delivered but only in the middle of winter. It gets dumped on their driveway and there it stays... out in the open. When these retards need a log for the fire, one of the MENSA candidates comes out to get a log. A (singular) log, which is wetter than a fishes tail, and takes it inside.
I bet they lose more heat than they generate, each time the retards leave the door open to go outside.

Where is Mr Darwin when you really need him?

Maybe the dude doesn't have adequate dry storage for a whole winter's worth, so expects to pay a firewood co to store his second half and sell dry wood if it is advertised as such.

Selling wet firewood as dry is like selling a watertight boat which has a few leaks, or like selling susan boyle as a hooker, either way you're gonna be wet, cold, and unsatisfied.
