In early December I spoke with Jennifer at M&M Tree Service about their firewood. She assured me that the firewood I would get from them would be seasoned for over 12 months. I ordered a half a cord and had it delivered to my driveway. As soon as it was dumped I knew I'd been had. The pieces are way too thick. Firewood should be split down to no more than 3 inches in thickness and be consistently about 16" in length. Most of the pieces from M&M range from 6-8 inches thick and the lengths vary greatly; anywhere from 10 to 20 inches, which made it very difficult stack. I thought "Well, as long as they burn I can deal with it". Fat chance. This stuff is green. Using the expensive bundles of real firewood I bought at Lowe's I could get a hot fire going with a nice bed of embers. I then added a piece of the wood that M&M sold me and you could hear the water inside it sizzling. The M&M wood would just get charred on the outside and that's it. Maybe it will be usable next year, but I will still have to rent a log splitter to get them down to the right thickness. I sent Jennifer at M&M an email describing my disappointment. And to no surprise, there was no reply. M&M has many other services, but do you think I would ever consider using them for anything else? No, and neither will any of my friends or neighbors. A lot of lost opportunities for a $100 sale.
I know, I know, "Buyer Beware". So, now I know and so do you. If you live in Southeast PA and need some good firewood for heat or just for ambiance, stay away from M&M Tree Service. Try March Lumber in Limerick instead. At least they told me truth, that the wood they have left is not ready and to try them again next year.
