    although you are spoiled with Doug Fir from being out west, here it commands $330 -$360 a ton because of shipping / handling costs.

    you could look at some very good alternative softwoods like LaCrete or EZBlaze for much less money.

    True. It's a wonderful place. No phones, no 'lectricity, very few people. I love it.

    And that's on the low side, lol. RF is going to charge $380/ton for the Okie DFs and Wood pellets dot com is charing $400/ton for whatever DF pellet they are peddling these days. :eek:
