As you both have said before, when a customer is about to give you money don’t screw it up. I have seen the firewood Facebook groups where people bash unknowing customers. Very unprofessional. Great podcast! Enjoy listening every Wednesday morning.
Back in the 70s, before either of you were doing firewood, I was mentored by a New Hampshire farmer who was born in 1896. He explained to me that trees were designed with an outer layer, like our skin, that protects the inner parts of the tree. If you stack with the bark side up, the bark, skin, protects the firewood from moisture. The trees are round. The bark is curved. If you mistakenly stack split wood with the bark side down, then you form a cup that will hold the moisture in against the fuel. I was taught to always stack split firewood with the bark side up. If you are not sure, always stack your wood with the bark side up.

One of the best habits to live by is to seek first to understand then to be understood
