Firewood Prices In Your Area

[StihlPotlicker]

Sounds like Craigs List pricing here. Some quantities are decent, some advertise "seasoned", meaning recently cut

it had sat for a bit too, and had mushrooms growing on some. He wanted it for his outdoor boiler, I didn't feel right charging more.

In your part of PA are there lots of truck load ads? Anyone enforce those as illegal?

Only time I've seen it enforced is if/when it's reported. No one really does the "truck load" thing anyway. Just the wastebook hacks/ idiots that don't regularly sell wood for heating.
Most people that heat with wood buy in log form, or have a particular person/ company that sells by the cord. There are a lot of companies/people that sell cord wood around this area.

Yeah them, and landscapers too. Too many really, most of them don't know what seasoned or hardwood means either.

I in chiloquin oregon it is 220 for rounds of lodgepole and about 250 for split lodgepole and that normally includes delivery and is per cord of lodgepole pine

Had to run to the mill and get some lumber last night. He had a sign in his drive by the road that said $225.00 mixed hard wood, delivered within 10 miles.

Now I'm more confused. Is this 2 stacks 4Ft x16Ft x16 in?

Darn it all. I'll get my fingers and brain in sync sometime. A cord of firewood is 128 cubic feet no matter how you slice it. 2ft pieces stacked 4ft high and 16ft long or 4ft x 4ft x 8ft. I built my woodshed at my hunting camp to hold 2 cords of wood. Although I cut it 16in or less for the small glass front woodstove on my porch, if I fill the shed I have 2 cords give or take
My original point is that I never heard of a "face cord" as no one I knew growing up referred to firewood with that name. You had "runs" of firewood and a cord of firewood. I know that on a youtube channel of a guy in Maine, although he is only a few hours from me as the crow flies, uses "face cord". It's interesting to me at how people in different parts of the country refer to the same thing by different names.

I've never seen or heard of a face cord for sale here, but oak is $500/cord PLUS a delivery fee.

That's because they're selling to these folks

Per the local paper $135 1/2 cord hardwood delivered w/i town.

Location: Smyrna, DE
Wood 01 | Price: Mixed Hardwood | $220 - Cord (split and delivered)

Note: It ended up being ~35 cu ft shy of a full cord. I've been having issues actually getting a full cord.

Around here the pro's have dump trucks or trailers that hold exactly 1 or 2 cords.

Mine hold just a bit shy of a cord stacked at the water line . But stacked nicely not just thrown in . I don’t sell but when I load my basement I fill it higher than the water line

Hardwood a cord can range from 300-500 a cord .

So you were shorted ~25%. Seller offer to make good (I'd be shocked)? Or just surprised you stacked and measured? Most would say "Everyone is happy with what I deliver". In my area it's mostly truckload / trailer load with no effort to address cords in spite of state law saying only way to sell is by the cord.
