Quote from: JohnandLeann;211122There is a vendor here on the central left coast that markets bundled firewood of oak for -bq and such in bundles of 5 sticks or so and are sold at local markets. They cost about 5 bucks a bundle and it is wrapped with that pallet type wrap plastic and is very convenient to handle.

Could that be "California Hot Wood" with a red flame on the box?...I was once their accounting manager. They sell throughtout California and a few locations in Nevada. At least that was a few years ago....

Since I camp mostly in the states that have some infestations of the Emerald Ash Borer, I no longer transport firewood.  Back when I did, I used two large folding boxes made of corrugated plastic.  When the wood was unloaded at the campsite, the boxes folded flat into the truck or SUV.  There was no mess in the vehicle and no wasted space transporting back an empty container.  

Since I can't always get firewood purchased the first night camping at a new location, I carry a few of the 6-pound manufactured commercial wax logs that burn up to four hours each so I can at least have something.  Kroger's has them on sale for $1.99 each.

Actually it is Nick's firewood and it used mostly for -bq ing Santa Maria Style.  I have used that "Hot Wood" before and it does crank hot and fast, but does not last as long as oak which a lot us prefer here even in our fireplaces when it gets cold.
It is getting closer to the time to burn a fire in the fire place and cook with the oven and make the house smell all homey.

Plastic wrap's not a bad idea, and I like the idea of burning the wrapper to return the molecules to their earthly origin!  Just not being downwind. :yikes:
Seriously, what brand is better than "Charlie's Own Roadside Pick".  Just happen to have almost 2 cords neatly stacked up on the side of my house.  Husqvarna 455 Rancher.  Eucalyptus, readily available everywhere in SoCal, and burns like oak.  :theking:
