This post is to sell 2 cubic metres of firewood and burnable chip & twig debris, first in, first served.
(but there's also another ad in TradeMe titled "Woodburner - Metro Rad - Complete, all parts including chimney and rooftop boot)
See photo, take all the wood and the burnable wood debris in the bags, or take nothing.
Mix of cut building wood and cut plum tree, other tree wood. Dry. Burns beautifully, hot. See the recent picture.
The debris is good kindling - twigs, small chips of wood, swept up after the cutting, dry cabbage tree leaf bundles.
What you see is the remainder after another person filled her big horse float with similar, 4 cubic metres, today.
The bags aren't included, sorry - I use them for gardening.
