Hello @TAB I noticed a while back the cost of wood used for heating in Europe going up - the same is now happening here. Saw something in the newspaper yesterday about cost of firewood going up locally. I bought some bags of it when prices were down. I intend to use it for my rocket stove if we have no power. There are rolling outages now in many countries and people have no power to heat/cool/cook etc. Sometimes arborists give away wood for free from trees they've chopped down. They may leave it on their naturestrip for people to pick up if they don't have a machine to turn it to mulch. You could ring around arborists to ask to stock up for next year. I made myself an apricot slice yesterday. Just in from my walk.
I don't know how high the prices are going up but I bought bags of firewood for $20 each from the petrol station. I will buy more. Should have got more. That idea using wood and starting a fire I have heard of I have a special firelighter that withstands the wind. It uses lighter fluid and you strike the reusable flint match with it and it simply wont go out unless you put it back in its canister. I got it off ebay several months ago as part of prepping. Just spoke to the lawnmowerman and hes coming by to mow the lawns and will bring some firewood from the servo @TAB
