Hot trend: Demand for designer firewood heats up

    Warning, puns galore! ;)
    This high-end wood has prices to match its pedigree. At more than a dollar a pound before shipping — which can run into the thousands for big orders — this wood might seem too valuable to burn. Many customers don't burn the firewood they order. Wilczek said customers who plan to burn the logs typically order them split; people who want to display them request that they be left whole.
    My god! That pile of firewood in the garden has suddenly gone up in value, now I just need to find some dumb fúck who's willing to pay me a fortune for it. :rolleyes:

    "more than a dollar a pound before shipping" is not a specific price, is it? :rolleyes:
    ... Besides, I was going to buy from the OP not from whoever that article was about.

    its also pretty common over there to get solar panels but on the roof slope facing the road, not facing the dominant path of the sun.
    just so your neighbours know you have them even if they don't do anything.

    and for years people have bought matching books "by the yard" to look good on shelves.

    when will this madness end?!!?

    Wait until the new year and buy them in a fire sale.
