Sounds like a Dirt Doctor ad. They advertise outrageously priced...debarked...kiln dried wood all the time. An outfit out of Pembroke, NH. To be avoided at all costs. Just a ripoff outfit pretending to give a rat's rump about their victims..I mean customers..

Thats sticker shock!

If I remember correctly, there was a guy in the Salem area selling kiln dried firewood in that price range. Don't recall his screen name, but he was a member here and got into some heated discussion here on AS over his prices. I believe most of his customers were 'ambiance' wood burners that generally burned 1/2 to 1 cord per year in their fireplaces. I can't imagine anyone would heat their house on wood priced that way.

That'd be my guess. Lots of folks are willing to pay for convenience. Think of that next time you're in line at Dunkins. The cost for you to brew that same coffee would be a pittance by comparison.

I see a lot of bundles for sale around are labeled that they're guaranteed bug free. I doubt too many bundle retailers would be able to eke out much of a profit if they bought their wholesale supply at $450.

I guess that would depend on how one defines a “bundle”. For instance the bundles I see at the supermarket are .5 cubic feet. They are selling for $6 bundle. Unless my math is fuzzy (highly likely) that works out to $1,538 per cord. So if you bought it for $450 that would be a tidy profit.

128 cu ft (cord)/ .5 cu ft (bundle) = 256 bundles x $6 each = $1,538

As far as loam goes, I buy mine from Decato Sand and Gravel. Good product at a good price. As far as mulch goes.. I find that Outdoor World on 106 gives me a more accurate yardage than the Dirt Dr. ever did.opcorn:

I sell small split 16" oak face cords for $120 here and am surprised every day that people will spend that kind of money for a little camp fire. If they are happy, then I am happy...

Only $450 per cord? Wellsir I believe i'll take 25 cords.
