Fair price for standing hardwood firewood??

[DanManofStihl]

We can get a face cord split and cut for $100 if you buy it in bulk at 3 or more cords a time. I think $25.0 a cord is very resonable considering cutting haulin fuel time and spliting thats alot of work especally for alittle more money you can have it droped off at you residence. Thats just my opinion.

Amen to that! It torques me no end to see discussions referring to 'face cords', 'ricks', 'loads'. Those are all illegal measures that were developed to fleece the customer. As for selling stumpage - not for any 10-20 per cord if it is my wood lot.

BS. 95% of wood here is sold by the "rick," which is an agreed upon size. Why in the hell would this irritate you? Virtually NO woodburner wants a true cord, because a cord consists of 4' sections. Most people want their wood pre processed. If it is not 4' sections, it is not a cord.

Somebody must have access to Spacemule's password! That ain't him.

Another possibility to get wood is to offer to cut some for the landowner also on a shares basis. There may be a few people getting on in years or too busy, who would welcome that proposition. After you do it for a short while you will realize your price is a way high. It is not nearly that much fun after the novelty wears off and the costs come home to roost.

A cord is a cord!
Selling firewood is a great cash job! But it dose erk me to hear how some rip there customers off,,,,, but they do get away with it! Its more then just a good feeling to drop off a true cord to someone that just cant believe how much wood you brought them. Its when they make sure that they have your phone number down right and when you start getting calls from ther friends that you job was done right!
Here are just a couple links what you can bet people that buy firewood can also find,,,,,

Do the people that sell undersized cords make up for the waight buy selling it green?

026, give Domtar or Tembec a call, they are the end user of the majority of the logging in Ontario and may be able to recommend recently logged bushes in your are for tops to clean up for free. there is too much wood available to need to pay anyone.
