Paper mill is shut down flat for about a year now - doors closed. Split wood is going for $220 a cord. I would never go back to the mess of wood again. I put my ton of Blaschak in the basement and piled in 40 minutes. Took me all day to put Mom's 2 cord of wood in her basement and clean up the mess outside and in the basment the next day.Cold_Mainer wrote:With the paper mill right there, isn't wood cheaper?

$289 is not bad for Blaschak. I paid $239 a ton for it, and I am 30 minutes from NEPA.
Blaschak or Kimmels

There must not be enough competition in the Augusta area. Blaschak is $350 a ton, last I checked, and Kimmel $320 to $330. That's not including delivery. It's $30 to $40 more than last year.

I burned both some Kimmels and Blaschak last heating season. The Blaschak was cleaper and had less junk in it.
