There's one born every minute.
My local quarry even sells sand by weight!!
When people buy wood round here, it's described by the wood - soft or hard ........ never hear of soft .............. and described by the price.
People buy a ton, or a tractor load, or a part-load.
Chat to our local farmer down the road from here, and you either get a good deal, or you won't use him again. If you don't use him again, he wouldn't have a log business.
So many damned trees round here, the farmer can't cut them down enough ............ and neither can I and we only a have a couple of acres of woodland.
The farmer has hundreds of acres, and people ask him to cut down their damned trees as well.
That someone is paying good money for a load of water and a non standardised amount of a product?
It's like a charter for conmen really.
And wet wood is crap as a fuel on all sorts of levels.

Less work all round in the end.
And other benefits.
Significantly less wood used, lighter to bring in, cleaner burning, no damp in the house etc etc.
You should have a look at the "all wood" French (and elsewhere) way.
It's a long and beneficial tradition.
