i was looking there but half of adds doesnt include price and info is wood seasoned or green, or what type of wood is it. On top of all what is trailerload? how much is 10x5 trailer (average amount of logs). So looking for advice of somebody who bought and was happy with it (or not) as i am 1st time firewood buyer. It is going to be burned in small 6,5kW stove.

Thanks

I too am of no use regarding the details of Kerry firewood, but there's a lot of good info in this thread that should be of help when making a purchasing decision:
timber logs

It might also be worth asking over in the Renewable Energies forum.

Kubiac-i'm not from kerry,so cant help you, but my advice on buying a 10x5 trailer load of chopped amd split logs would be to know what hieght the trailer is going to be filled to.Whether it was a trailer,pick-up.van or lorry doing the delivering I would want to start with price of a cubic metre of loose logs and then calculate WxLXH to work out the volume thats been offerred. Working it out in 'loads','tips' or even tonnes can be confusing,which could lead to inaccuracy or inconsistancy. I would also be checking,upon delivery, the moisture content using a moisture meter -and If found to be over 20%,reject or be haggling down the price and storing until it is properly dried.
Hope you find some before the big freeze thats coming up.
