    Wild $$$ variation

    Amazing variation on firewood prices. Look on Craigslist in any given area... $400 and up in some places. $100 and less in others. We get all the wood we want for nothing here.

    We have many mills around here and one has a firewood 'annex' with cull and end cut logs sitting outside seasoning. They do not sell anything locally. They have a saw and splitting operation in an open roofed area, and they cut and shrink-wrap bundels of Doug fir firewood and put them on pallets for shipping to grocery and hardware stores in the cities. At $3.99 a bundle (1 cu ft), that's $500 a cord! For medium grade firewood...

    That's low enough to justify the shipping cost if a guy could get a full 53' open top semi load up here.

    My brother in law just sold about 10 cords split and stacked for 300.00 All hardwoods, seasoned. He is building a new house and is desperate for money. A man came along offered 300 and he took it. If that aint great, he is delivering it which he isnt charging anything for. If I would have known I would have bought it all. Makes me sick, and pi$$es me off.

    With brains like that he'll be deperate for money forever. Kick him in the head for all of us. Ten cords of logs delivered would cost me $1000.

    You got it. I wouldnt buy any from him because I cut my own. At that price it would have been worth me getting. Last year we bought about 4 cords from him for 100. Nobody would buy it, he claimed. Only problem he wouldn't advertise. Obviously if he would have kept it, in the dead of winter it would have sold. Like I said, I was pissed. He just hadnt got any brains. Also while im on this subject, all of that wood, a nice new home, he is heating with electricity and doesnt want a wood stove in his house. LOL I save about 400 a month in propane burning wood, that wood would have saved him alot of money. I do believe the people who work hard and cut their wood are supporting their wallets and their families. Nothing wrong with wood burners.

    Sounds like the companys looking for cheap labor should be looking to relocate to Ohio instead of China? Or do we just like to cut wood for cheap? LOL

    Holy moley... I get wood for free here, but for $30 a cord I would not bother cutting it myself. 10 cords would last us over 2 years. That has got to be the hottest firewood deal of the year.

    Wood Prices

    I have started this fall at $50 for a face cord 16-18" length of mixed seasoned wood. 100% pecan I have been selling for $60. Any green wood I let go for $45.

    That is picked up at the lot. Delivery and dump is $15 more if in town and not too far away. Stacking is extra.

    I sold about 110 face cords last year at a slightly lower price. With this pricing I sold 23 face cords last week. I already have about 4 more to deliver this weekend.

    Deer season opens tomorrow but I will still have to cut and split some more wood.

    $60 a face cord is the highest I have seen here so far. Thats for dry stuff. Most is around 45 to 50 for dry stuff.

    I'm not sure exactly where your at, but that sounds about right. Buddies of mine are selling round wood for $50/cord and split for $65 or so. Pretty much all of it is green though, like right off the stump type green. A buddy of mine across the road from me bought like 4 full cord in 4' lengths, mostly green, beech/ash/little maple for like $300. That's pretty cheap. If you cross the bridge and run over into VT, I hear they are getting $100+ easily/face cord. That'd be in the burlington and surrounding areas over there....
