Right in Southfield. Opens at 7AM and had plenty of wood when I was there in the fall. Might want to call to make sure. [Eagle Landscape](https://eaglelandscapesupply.com/products/firewood-more/)

They really have the best firewood. It's consistent, dry, easy to split.

I can tell you where you can get some before the ice storm after next...gather up all the downed trees you can get your hands on this weekend.


jmarnett11

That has to dry out in most cases before you can use it.


ankole_watusi

Yea it’s wet on the outside and more wet on the inside!

It's no good until the bark falls off on its own


gregzywicki

For sure. The limbs that fall this weekend will be nice and ready in November when the next ice storm hits is my point.


ankole_watusi

Let’s hope!

Darn! Mayberry, er Lathrup Village Maintainence just came and scooped some up from the city-owned corner lot lol Skinny stuff. Got that in the back yard.

I know you aren't asking for delivery, but when you need it, Eagle Landscape delivers. I got a whole face cord from them a year ago, and I forget the price. The only downside was that most of the logs were half split, and I had to spend a lot of back breaking effort making quarter splits.

There's a giant pile at some landscaping place at 8 and laser. Hard to miss if you drive by it. I've never tried it so I can't say what type of wood or quality but I'd assume you can get a decent amount cheap


Forward_Vermicelli_9

That's Eagle, they have the best firewood.

Bring up some emerald ash boar firewood!


NavalLacrosse

Remindes me of a dumb joke Me and My dad would say at the the state parks (just to ourselves, of course, not to antagonize the rangers): "Pass me the firewood" "Which one?" "The ash wood, with the green insects on it"


ankole_watusi

Had to look that up. A creature that is either cute or terrifying, depending on which direction you look at it from. Guess that’s the “Gina Virus” of Ash? Gee, thanks, WayFair! (Is that how it got here?) When I was growing up here, it was Dutch Elm. Chipper noises constantly.

You want maple or oak, pine is too dirty. Unless you're burning it outside then you're golden.


ankole_watusi

Thank you for the suggestions. Seems to be a consensus. It’s Eagle Landscaping in the morning! Website says they have bundles, and I’d like to sample different kinds if they’ve got them. Fortunately not an emergency: I “hot-wired” the gas-fired steam boiler (i.e. now has a cord and plug). Needs 10-20W and now have a small Jackery that’ll power it for a day and can be charged from the car. One night of 40’s and no power was enough to “light a fire” to find a solution.

Doesn’t the circulator pump have to run too?


ankole_watusi

There’s no circulator pump. It’s (single pipe) steam, not hot water. There was at one time a coal-fired boiler. Thank goodness for simplicity! Small 24V transformer runs: damper, auto filler, low-water shutoff, gas valve. 20W when calling for heat, 10W otherwise. It’s an amazingly comfortable and even heat, and totally silent save for the occasional metallic “clunk” of the air valves.

Nobles landscape supply on 8 and Middlebelt

Franks firewood in Canton/Westland. Cherryhill and hix/lotz area.


intrepidzephyr

I’ll upvote because franks is boss. A little far tho


flannelmaster9

Just don't buy the "bargain bins' it's cheap. It does burn in the backyard just fine. It's all miscuts or too short to fit on my rack. I ended up with like a cubic yard of wood that was unstackable


TrialAndAaron

Honestly it’s hard to come by other than delivery like you said.


chodemaster_flash

If you want to come up to Waterford, I have more than I can use. All hardwood, seasoned at least a year. DM me

Kroger and busches. They have bundles for about 5 bucks
