tegwini Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Hi AllCan anyone give me the price of firewood (approx) & perhaps the best places to get a load delivered NE of Poitiers (30 mins) near Christmas - and, would the holidays be a problem for delivery?Many thanksTegwini Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnRoss Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 About 55 euros a stere (Cubic metre stacked) near St Maixent L'Ecole. Cut to 50 cms, mostly hardwood. Try local farmers but get him to show you the wood first if possible. Try this http://www.bois-de-chauffage.net/...............................JR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ngh Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 Sorry TegwiniBit of a bum stear. Just spoken to "my man" and he's all out.Think people start cutting again early in the new year. But that isn't for burning for a further 2 years at least.Will keep my ear to the ground for you.nich the wood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tegwini Posted November 7, 2008 Author Share Posted November 7, 2008 Many thanks all, and to Nich too.I expect I really do need someone local to ensure a reasonable price.Anyone else with contacts near Bonneuil Matours ?ThanksTegwini Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnRoss Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Had some wood delivered today, 4 stères cut to 50cm and mostly oak. The same price as last year, 45 euros a stère which was a pleasant surprise. I get mine from a local farmer and never been disappointed. Cheaper than the big boys I think..............JR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
