I got a half cord delivered by a dude on Facebook for 180 I’ve had enough for fires the entire winter and gave some to my neighbors

The free section of craigslist is my first place to look. Seems like there's some for free ready for pick up in Mt Airy: https://philadelphia.craigslist.org/zip/d/philadelphia-free-cut-split-firewood/7596612287.html

If you can stock up over the summer when people do tree work, and let it season till the next winter, you really don't need to buy.

But just be sure about the wood you're taking, some shouldn't be used indoors.

No car?

I heat my entire house with a woodstove using scrounged wood I need to cut, split and stack.

I'd add that that list of no-go woods includes anything still green; treated/creosoted/painted/stained lumber; and any conifer.

this would be used for a fire pit in the summer with limited storage space for stockpiling wood

Phil's Firewood

We spend around $150 in the spring and get enough delivered to last an entire fire pit season.

I thought I scored the mother load the other day before I found it had termite infestation. I decided not to risk bringing that near my house.

The recycling center in fairmount park has free firewood but you have to cut it up yourself. BYO chainsaw

Just look on craigslist like a week before you need it, there's always someone trying to get rid of wood

There's a ton that gets offered up for free from various arborists across the city, and there are also a lot of undeveloped lots scattered around (especially in the NW) where deadfall is free for the taking.

Craigslist is a good place to look. I’ve seen listings for free firewood even, some people just have firewood that they want removed from their property

Smart. Never worth it.

No termites up here in the Poconos but with such a mild winter, carpenter ants didn't die off and everything's gotta be checked for them too.
