“The cold is my enemy,” Allen said. “When it gets colder, it slows everything down.”

Everything, that is, but the orders for firewood to be delivered. A.W. Allen Firewood, on Maple Street between Hall-Dale High School and Interstate 95, has been getting 30 to 40 calls a day from people searching for hardwood firewood to burn.

Why not go to the local lumber yard and buy distressed 2X4's? What a luxury. It must be pretty expensive.
