Any interest in a load of firewood?????

TRNDRVR · Sep 30, 2003

:flame: :flame: :flame: :flame:
I know this idea was mentioned in an earlier post, but would it be worth it to bring a trailer load of firewood down with me. My motive is to bring a supply of wood not only for myself, but for others who would be willing to pitch in for it. All I would want out of it is just to be paid back for what I don't use and somebody else does. I am not looking to make any money on this. Also, if there is interest in this, I have to say, I can't bring enough for everybody. So I guess it would be first come first served.
Please let me know some thoughts on this idea.
Thanks,
Dan.

Sounds like a great idea, especially considering what they charge for firewood in Moab. Perhaps enough people are willing to chip in to keep the individual cost low. I'm willing to contribute. I haven't bought firewood in a couple of years.....how much will this load cost? We usually have a nice roaring :flame: and talk about the day's events while tipping a cold one.

I never really thought of that. I guess being from the east, there is always a supply of firewood. Maybe have one fire pit that everyone could enjoy at their leisure. I'll contribute though, just the same.

I'll look into a price of wood today.
Its been so long since I've bought any firewood, I forgot how big a cord is. Isn't it something like 2wx4hx8l? My trailer is probably capable of at least one cord, maybe one and a half. I would have to watch the weight. I'll post later.
Thanks,
Dan.

aren't there some huge cottonwoods at the campground we can cut down?

please aim to fell the thing towards danno.

TRNDRVR · Sep 30, 2003

Okay, here's the skinny.
My eyes are bigger than my trailer.
I also learned a cord of wood is 4X4X8. Doing the math, my trailer is only capable of hauling half a cord of wood. Still, that's a lot of wood, and I can get that for $70.00. A lot cheaper than buying it by the bundle at the grocery store.
Count on me for bringing at least a half a cord of wood. I'll obviously keep part of it for myself, the rest will be up for grabs.
Thanks,
Dan.

up near bear lake there is a small town called paris, idaho. if you go up paris canyon there is free firewood, you just have to chop it and bring it. a bunch of trees fell in an ice storm a few years ago, so now they're aged and ready. the forest service has a sign up saying "take enough for a household". i think that's an invitation, if you feel like driving 1.5-2 hrs to get up there.

I'm in for a couple of good armloads. I'll be there Thursday through Saturday night. How do I find you?

I'll be in #146 at Slickrock Campground.
No guarantees as to how long this trailer load of wood will last.

Understood. I know I'm not getting there until the end of the event. I think the firewood selection will be slim pickens!

TRNDRVR · Oct 1, 2003

I just lined up the firewood.
The guy I'm getting it from says for $70.00, he'll let me stack the wood in my trailer as opposed to tossing it in. It will be a true stack of wood 2Hx4Wx8L. That's a lot of wood.

I have to say though, I'll bring the firewood, but I'm not going to be responsible for the marshmallows.

I'll take some off your hands!

When are you getting to camp? I'll be there Saturday evening.

You can put me down for at least $10 worth! I'll even kick in $5 for your gas!

We can negotiate the marshmallows...

With money donations which equaled $55.00, and a wood donation from Jeff (Armstrong) from IL., firewood is bought and paid for for next year.

Just thought I would give an accounting of what I did with money/firewood.
Yes, I did drag home the leftover wood.
Thanks everybody,
Dan.
