I am looking to compile a list of firewood prices in different areas of the US and Canada, and hoping you guys can help me out. If you are so willing please post your area and price for specific woods in cord or face cord / rick.

I'll start:

Location: Cote Nord Quebec
Wood 01 | Price: Birch | $90/face cord
Wood 02 | Price: Sugar Maple | $120/face cord
Wood 03 | Price: Black Pine | $60/face cord

I'll leave the template here for easy copy and paste:

Location:
Wood 01 | Price:
Wood 02 | Price:
Wood 03 | Price:


Really interested to see what prices are at in different locations.
 
Face cord here is typically 16 inch splits.
PA doesn't allow us to sell facecords. Legally. Cords or fractions thereof. Or by cubic feet. Everyone on FB or Craigslist sells by the truckload though. Depending on species, $150-300 per cord.

mASSachusetts requires volume in cu ft. Not sure on Vt?

Face cord is a stack 4' X 8' single row. Width not specified.

Most everywhere cord = 128 cu ft or 4" X 4' X 8'. 3 rows of 16" or 2 0f 24"
 
I'm in far NW Oregon, surrounded by timberland, mostly douglas fir is grown. I've never seen anyone here refer to "face cords", just sold by the cord. Most common are douglas fir and alder for around $200/cord. Hardwood is less common, but bigleaf maple would the be the most common and I would expect to pay $300/cord for that. We can get permits to go harvest from state forest though for $15. Is that common in other states?

Considering I am surrounded by timberland, I would have thought it would be cheaper here compared to other places. I'm actually shocked you can get hardwood for $85/cord in other places in the country!

$85 a face cord......typically 1/3 of a real (defined) cord. Or, $255 a cord.
 
Face cord is a nebulous quantity. How long are the splits?

$275-450 here for full cord/128 cu ft hardwoods delivered per local craigslist adds

Vermont/Western Ma
In northern Vermont it's always 16 in as far as I know. A cord is a cord no matter how you split it, though.
See what I did there 😆
 
So the days of $60 cord log length dropped in your yard are over?
You reminded me of this fellow I haven't thought of in years, who I used to buy my firewood from.

If my memory is right, around 1977 it was $65/cord for split 4 foot lengths of green mixed hardwood. Terms were when he got around to sending an invoice, generally at least 3 months after delivery.

Green, split, cut-to-length hardwood is currently $325/cord here in midcoast Maine. I just gave away a pickup load of white birch and was glad to see it go. Spruce, pine, fir get dragged into the woods to rot.
