I'm going to camping this weekend in Rainier, and will be driving through Greenwater and Enumclaw. Anybody know of a good place to stop and get some firewood?

Are they even allowing camp fires with all the dry weather? The county I live in has a burn ban.

I have made the drive to his place for some Alder for the Smoker. As a matter of fact, i smoked Ribs Saturday and a Brisket Sunday using that wood. Thanks brother!

Dry fir, maple, alder Thanks for the offer, but I'm pretty sure you are now trolling me. I had to look up Tenino. Today I learned there is a city called Rainier. I'm actually going to the Gifford Pinchot National Forest, just outside Mt Raininer, so you are quite a distance out of the way. Plus, I don't have a chainsaw or Axe, only a hatchet and hand-held saw. I guess I have a sawz-all...but for chopping up wood I think a chainsaw is the proper tool. scorpion rider wrote: Are they even allowing camp fires with all the dry weather? The county I live in has a burn ban. I thought the same thing, so I called the Ranger Office. They confirmed there is no burn ban.

I'll be driving through Enumclaw and Greenwater, into Mt Rainier Park and eventually camping in the national forest. I figured those two cities would be the best place to grab some.

To me collecting firewood is part of the fun of camping. I sometimes bring scrap wood from home. Enough to get me through the first night. When leaving after work. But the next full day I head out to find wood. A small axe and saw are all ya need. I've never brought a chainsaw. And almost never use my full size axe. Good luck, have fun

Check Craigslist and buy some wood by Friday near you.
Problem solved.

Good luck, have fun Yeah I've got a hatchet and a little hand saw like this: https://smile.amazon.com/Survival-Emerg ... 06VXZPZLW/It's great for small jobs, like cutting a 20ft log in half, once. If I was going to turn logs into firewood I'd haul in my car, I'd want a CRV.

Yeah I called because the risk was high, the ranger station said no burn ban. I'll have a fire extinguisher, shovel, and water. Plus a brain. We will be in a low-lying area, surrounded by trees and mountains, so not much wind at all.
