Default Birch Logs

Does anyone have a contact for purchasing birch logs by the truck load?
Looking to start processing my own firewood.

Thanks

Semi loads from Slave Lake, or smaller close by. Depends on whether you are talking pickup size truck or actual tuck loads.

Sorry, not meant to derail, regarding the Kijiji ad…
Are they really selling those large IKEA bags of birch for $50?
$18 ea (45lbs) was our price when we had stock, but our season has passed.

You have no idea! A friend of mine here in Montana got out of firewood business when he was selling cords of split lodge pole for around $280/cord. He felt it was way too much but he hardy made anything at that price and gave it up as he also runs a mechanic shop. Was just chatting with him the other day and another one of his friends took up the business in Big Sky Montana and is selling a cord of cleaned (tumbled) firewood to the rich folk in the Yellowstone club for over $800/cord. I couldn’t believe it and he’s backlogged with them number of people wanting firewood at that price. Stupid insane when I can get a permit to cut up to 12 cords on the forest for 6$ cord!!
