Cost Of A Cord Of Wood

And die you will when you get the bill.

You guys are digging it I see haha. I will try and get more detailed pictures of mine and post them up.

I just hauled this 4 hours.. going for more next week (ignore the picture date, camera wasn't set)

i burned wood for about 8 or 9 years. i was clearing out the property little buy little. mostly hard and soft maples , with some cherry trees. i sold the big trees for $ and cut up the 12" and under stuff for the wood burner. i never split one pc of wood. i could get a 10 to 12 hour burn. i would put a big pc in and couple small ones on the side when i reloaded. i always felt that spliting just made it burn faster. it burns hotter , but alot faster.

$175-$190 a cord in northern Maine. Depends who you get it from. Pellets are now at $289 a ton. Just heard on the news yesterday that someone had 2 ton of pellets stolen. He had it delivered and was going to store them in his basement the next morning. People are going crazy.

^ Someone stole a trailer full of steel here this weekend. A guy at work had a 1000-1500 dollar trailer loaded up with steel to recycle for $$.. woke up in the morning and someone went behind his house, cut the lock, stole it.

Pictures of my wood pile so far



The first picture is the wood I have hauled across the state.

Ok everybody hold on to your shorts! I just helped a Buddy load 15 cord in his basement he got it delivered for 65 a cord(face cord) that equates to about 3 buks per million BTU's.

^ 1000 in wood?

Forget that

I paid $550 for a tri-axle load of logs this year. I was informed the price will go up next year which doesn't supprise me. Typical tri-axle load prices are $650 to $700 around this area now. Since I have been a long time customer, I get a break. I get approx. 22 face cords out of a load at 16" wide.

Cut and split wood is going for about $55.00 a face cord (16" width) right now.

I expect a shortage and prices to spike as soon as the weather turns cold. A lot of people are turning to wood this year due to oil and gas costs. Many people don't plan ahead and are going to be disapointed when they want wood. I ordered my logs last April and did not get them until September. Wood lot production is down due to lower demand for hardwood building materials.
