This winter is the first year we've burned wood in our home. Getting enough dry wood has been an adventure and finding kindling sometimes takes a backseat. We've made due with cut branches and leftover 2x4s we've come across. However, I decided I need to make a really good score and take a day to cut and prep some for awhile.
Long story longer. The wife and I both with kids in the city and we were leaving a school in Manhattan last night and very unexpectedly next to our car someone has put out 4 large hardwood pallets for the trash. For those of you who haven't been this way one of the charming parts of NYC is that there are no alleys or spaces between buildings to accommodate trash so there are large piles lining sidewalks in the evenings and mornings (and most other times truth be told!).
While I thought the wood scavenging wouldn't happen until this weekend, Manhattan turns out to be an okay place for this too!
