It was a mistake to try Simply Local Wood. I should have read the reviews. On the plus side, they delivered quickly. On the down side, Simply Local Wood only delivered 3/4 cord - but I paid for a full cord of kiln-dried. 395 plus 59 delivery charge for a total of 454. I sent them the below pictures and asked them to come take a look. They said they would, but then said they would not, telling me that the wood they delivered was "sufficient." I asked for a partial refund and they declined. Essentially Simply Local Wood screwed me out of $100. Other issues (kinda nitpicky): log length is not uniform. Ranges in size from 7" to 17". Most fell within the 14-16" range, but there were wayyy more shorties than 17s! The shorties were doubled up where possible, and used to fill gaps. Wood was not screened, so there were two trash barrels of bark and dirt left over on my gravel driveway. Pics are below. It's easy enough to do the math. The length of the pile is 20', the width of the pile is 1.333 and the height on the right side of the pile is 4.8'. The big gap on the left where the wood is missing - that is how much Simply Local Wood screwed me. read more

i got my wood on Tuesday, this is the easiest wood to burn, it's great. I've had a wood burning stove since the early 1980's. this is what heats my home so I know wood. I have a whole cord that was given to me as a birthday present and I could barely make it burn had to keep throwing in firer burners in it to keep in going did that for 2 days. I stopped, I found Simply LocalWood and bought 1/2 cord of wood. I couldn't believe it. I put in a little fat wood a little paper I put in wood I got, it literally started blazing in about 15 minutes and it never went out til it died a great death. All I had to do was take out the ashes. I will be a Simply Local Wood customer as long as I can burn wood. I will tell everyone I know about this company and how they season their wood, they bake it in ovens to take the sap out of the wood and that is why it catches fire so fast and doesn't stop til it's a pile of ashes. I've been burning wood for over 40 years, never heard of baking wood but it's the best way to go if you don't want keep fighting to try to keep your fire burning. Give Simply Local Wood a try you won't be sorry. Really you will feel great knowing that you won't have to worry about unseasoned wood not burning again. I am now a customer for life.

Granted, I bought my wood in the dead of winter, but it wasn't dried through. It blazed up fine, but the fires struggle to stay lit. Clearly my batch was taken out of the kiln too early. The guys are nice, the price is great. But bring a hatchet and a meter. I'm not going back. read more

I used them this past winter and they were easy to work with, prompt and reliable with delivery, and the wood is lovely!

Good wood at a good price, you can take your chances on Craigslist with wood from someones "seasoned" wood or just buy kiln dried that is not going to give you a problem. read more

Address off of Brayton ave is old, now located in the back of "Stevens complex" down Omaha St. Rupert was great to work with. Didn't have a credit card machine (at this time) but just paid through their website if you don't have cash. Will definitely be back once I burn through the wood. read more

These guys do a real nice job. All the wood is dry and ready to use. The kiln dried stuff especially cool. I get my wood delivered to South Dartmouth and I get the 2 1/2 cord drop at my home in Dover. They are reliable and helpful. Can't say enough. read more
