Taking away the fact that I enjoy cutting wood as I'm sure many of you do as well. Have you ever sat down and added up every penny it costs to cut wood.
I cut in many different woods in my area so I'll average out the distance at 5 miles each way.
10 miles total plus a little movin around in the woods. I get about 9 miles to the gallon with my truck so lets say 1.5 gallons of gas.
1.5 gallons in truck
1/4 gallon in saw for 1 truck load
$2 per gallon = $3.50
Let's throw in $0.50 for two stroke oil and another $0.50 for bar oil.
cost of the saw per load is a shot in the dark but I'm gonna throw in $2
$6.50 per load and I burn about a load a week (tossed in the truck not stacked)
I'm guessing about 28 weeks of heat for my area = $182
I'll spend this $182 with a smile as I watch the propane guy fill the other guys tank.
