$250-$375 a cord here seasoned that means cut and put in a big pile this spring. I sold a few cord last year for $250 all oak all less than 20% was told by one guy it was to dry!!! He said it burned to well and had to keep shutting the air down.
up here 12 month seasoned cord... mixed hardwood.. 3 cord delivery 650 if you know a guy right now oils cheaper and driving down the amount of deliveries why you can still get seasoned last year this time no way!
Here its about $200 and more on mixed hard woods that isn't seasoned but they claim it is, some people sell dry wood for $300 or better..
Not here in Vermont where 1 in 6 burns wood, the loggers are on currently cutting neighboring farm there answer is if firewood drops below 200 they will hold it and not sell it. Good news is only taking logs so I will have access to tops While farmer burns wood his answer is his 800 acres get selective cut every 4 years they leave him cut split.. his hired hands log length. Costs him little and cheaper on insurance
A $50 bill can secure any number of rednecks with a POS half ton truck to deliver a load of wood that was cut an hour ago. "Seasoned" firewood, if you can find it, is sold by the more sophisticated wood sellers. It was probably cut 24-48 hours ago and will cost $75 for a guy in a decent 3/4 ton truck to toss a load in your driveway.
I have a small firewood sales business I have had for a while. With my recent move into an area near some million dollar plus homes, I can pull 360 per cord for ash. I do not plan to make a living doing this, but plan to sell 10 cords or so per year to cover equipment costs etc.
It's about 200 bucks around here for hardwood. Others are asking a lot more but there is a lot of it out there for 200 ish.
It's anywhere from 250 bucks here to 400 up in the DFW metro area. It'll mostly run from six month seasoned on the outskirts of the metro to dripping wet in the middle of DFW.....and they'll buy it and are happy to have it! It's pretty don't ya know Nobody wants that ugly grey looking wood stacked beside their pretty house!
If I were to add up all the cost of my 5+ chainsaws, hydraulic splitter, oodles of various and sundry supplies and PPE, the cost of buying up all the property around me and the property taxes on said property, I'm looking at >$10K/cord. But, I'd never have it any other way.

The buyer doesnt have to buy it ready to burn, but most buyers think it is ready, but have no idea how to comparison shop when it comes to raw materials like cord wood.
Around here if you buy wood you have to assume that it is not Stove ready, and buy it ahead of time. The other thing is most of the people that sell it and buy it, don't even know what Stove ready wood is. A seller might say, the people I have sold it to like it, but that's probably because they never burned dry wood before
Exactly right! But, once human nature gets involved.....and there is always the "you have to have that stacked in the yard for three years before we can burn it?" syndrome!
Nope. Until I started to research wood and wood stoves I figured that buying a cord of wood meant I was ready for ambiance burning in a fireplace that year. If you had told me I needed room for 10 cords in piles on my place to be ready for a 3 cord per year stove I would have thought you were nuts. Even now, if I had to invest in cord wood and let it sit for years in order to save a little on nat gas or propane I would question whether it was worth it. I mean spend a thousand on c/s/s wood for the winter of 2018/19 sounds pretty messed up. Because my wood comes from my own place and from scrounges and my only real expense is some fuel and 2-stroke oil I am willing to go there. Even my one time expense of my Husky 555 is just that. It is a one time expense that is far less than a year's fuel cost so I am willing to invest that for the longer term.
just stopped by and chatted with the loggers, right now they are getting 250 to 275 cord cord delivered unseasoned. Newest game in town is 450 a cord kiln dried firewood.. Yup, Vermonters are smart.. If you are low income and get heat assistance. You can use that money to buy firewood.. Wood has to be guaranteed 15% MC or less. Kiln dried if easiest to prove MC so that is pushing wood prices up! 450 a cord guaranteed dry and bug free.
At $450 a cord they ought to be buying heating oil that was about $1.10 on the futures market today. Even at a $2.00 retail it would be a lot cheaper than the cord wood.
