[QUOTE="Wood Doctor, post: 2423230, member: 20385"] +1. The biggest factor holding down the price for firewood is cheap natural gas and propane--alternative fuels in general. I recall three years ago when NG reached $14/MCF and propane got to $3.50 a gallon, firewood seemed really cheap. Those days are gone. I think for awhile our market is now defined by the aesthetics--people who burn firewood for atmosphere and comfort, not those who seriously heat their homes with it. Yes, there will be some diehard woodstove burners, but their numbers continue to dwindle. I still like the exercise and keeping the saws tuned up and using my truck productively is a great hobby. I'd rather do that than throw around a basketball and play handball, which is an expense that produces practically nothing. [/QUOTE]
