Anyone need hardwood sawdust?

I found a local guy who has alot of hardwood untreated sawdust. He said his company produces a 55 gallon drum of this stuff biweekly. Basically I'm wondering what someone would pay to have some sawdust mailed to them and maybe I can work out a cheap deal with him to get alot of it. Let me know if you're interested.
This is kind of marketplace type thing but I thought it would get more attention here in the gourmet forum based on what the product is.

i would be interested but shipping large quantities of it would likely be more costly than its value.

Here in Canada at the village I can have tons by weight of sawdust or wood chips for about $0.20 a pound and sometimes for free, but only sending a few petri dishes in West coast Orient cost $14.. It's probably the same to Europe. So...  If you can buy hundreds or thousands of tons of them, shipped by boat then you'll maybe pay a reasonable price

Go to a hardware store, look for woodstove pellets. They are easy to pasteurize or sterilize. I think that's the cheapest you can find.

Hi I just went to the sawmill yesterday. I checked and there was sugar maple sawdust and wood chip falling on the piles. I like those ones because you can grow all kinds of mush on them, shiitake included. I took about 400 Pds for my needs. It's the best time of the year to get them, quality is higher. New-York is about 500 miles from here. I have a Ford 250 4X4 diesel truck with a 12X6X5'trailer if you want a lot of them. If you want more like 30 tons or more I can make arrangements with bigger truck. If you want less just let me know I'll check with the mailman for shipment. Or maybe you prefer to come here get them? Or maybe you can use sawdust pellets from the stores + wood chips that I'll send you?

Just have an answer from the mailman.
10Pds. shipping to New York $17, 30Pds. $32, 66Pds. $58. + price of sawdust or wood chips depend how much you want (starts at $8). The mailman don't take more than 66 Pds. Wood stove pellets are only around $1 a pound, and really easy to sterelize. Maybe could be a good deal here for you if you need wood chips to mix with your wood stove pellets. Good fresh wood chips are rare and give help to get good flushes. Maybe you can check with UPS or others if they can make cheaper.

You can get the pellets at 4$ per 50 # bag during the "off" season.
But if you live by a mill and i kinda assume most people do you can get it by the truckload.

Error, I wrote wood stove pellets are 1$ a pound, it's $0.10 a pound.
Yes You can get it at about $1800. for a 20 weels truckload. Probably around $500 for a 10 weels. or $0.02/Pd. That's delivred for 80 miles around. If you got the truck i'ts about $0.0125/Pd. I know the owners, I get them free if I don't take more than a full pick up load at a time.

I'm a total convert to hardwood pellet (woodstove or grill) fuel. You can get various "flavors (alder, oak, etc.)" the stuff is darn clean when you get it (they use heat in the compression process), the stuff is cheap, easy to store... Many advantages over raw sawdust IMHO.
Store it for as long as you want without risk of mold. When ready to use, soak pellets for 10 minutes in hot water, strain, and BOOYAH you have sawdust ready to supplement & sterilize for your latest mycological adventure.

Is $16.95 for a 25 pound bag a reasonable price for oak-flavored grill fuel? All the feed stores I visit for wood stove pellets that are more reasonably priced either seem to have a glue glaze over them or are composed of fir/cedar. I'm excited to try my new PC, but maybe I should make the two hour drive to an alder mill where I can (maybe) get some sawdust???
