He says they are cut 16” - 18 inches. But that is a great point. I cut my firewood to 24 inches long in most cases. Most people up here have huge wood burning stoves or even fireplaces.
Cash Larue I've burned shagbark hickory and even though it is a good hardwood, I don't find it worth the extra amount of what you'd be paying. $400 for that amount and I'd be wondering just how much heating fuel (LP or oil; whatever is in your case) it would have bought.
I agree. To me that looks like way less than a cord. $400 will buy a lot of natural gas to burn in my furnace.
I was going to include NG in my post but thought that maybe you live in an area that doesn't have it available.....like where I'm at!
We were on propane when for the first few years when we moved in. Then the gas company brought a NG line into the area and offered free trenching from the main road, all the way to our house and free hookup. So we did it. The problem we had with propane, is that for a good chunk of the winter - the propane truck can’t get into the neighborhood.
That's just a michigan thing. Got a buddy that just bought a house in Tennessee. Out in the middle of nowhere on a dead end road on 7 acres. He's got natural gas..... and city water. I'm a mile from town and the natural gas company wants me to pay them $5k+ to extend their line past my house plus the cost of hookup and a new furnace since I'm on fuel oil. They've been trying this for about 10 years now. I just don't understand their audacity.
Agree with what others said here, looks like way less than a cord and although hickory is good stuff, in my experience not THAT good. And agree with you, we are blessed here in the east with abundant high quality firewood hardwoods.
Even the commercial firewood processors sell and deliver hardwood for $275 - $300 a cord in my section of PA.
