Price for a cord of wood

[Humptulips]

A rick is a 4'x8' stack of wood and volume depends on the length of the cut wood. 16" wood would be a third of a cord, 24" wood would be a half cord.

 

[VINIFIREWOOD]

A cord (4x4x8) around here northern MN is anywhere from 75 to 200 depends on mix and season. Go to the metro areas and a friend of mine is getting 350, ya 350. Really depends on where you are selling, and who you are selling to.

1/3 cord I'm getting 60 for seasoned hardwood.

 

[Hoover]

We're at $50-60 per fc. 75 if its apple or cherry
150-175 a cord, + delivery, + stacking.

It burns better than some hard woods, Aspen is technically a hardwood.
Personally, I'd rather burn Doug Fir, it burns longer.

Oh crap, don't tell anyone. Doug Fir prices may get as high as Juniper.
Wait, scratch that. That would mean I'd get more for my Doug Fir.

No doug fir for me. Ive got very limited access to white fir. It is okay... Does burn hot, but not nearly long as pinon. I would rather burn pinon / juniper mix in my stove. I get a better gasification burn out mixed wood then one straight wood burn. With a gasification burn, I get a nice blue / slight yellow flame that is really HOT! It starts a 575 degree's and goes up!

Why don't people call it what it is...cord, half cord, 1/3 cord

instead of terms like rick, stove cord, loggers cord, face cord, furnace cord, long cord, truck cord, and all the other crazy terms I see on craigslist. Just say what it is. My dad always says cord but means face cord so I have to divide by 3.

 

[BlueRidgeMark]

to me a cord is two rows each 18"wide,four feet tall,and eight feet long

That's like saying, "To me a gallon is..."


A cord is a legally defined measurement. It's not open to individual interpretation. It's 128 cubic feet of split and stacked wood.

Period.

Bingo. Yuppies in the city will pay a lot more than the average working man in the sticks.

 

[woodlotguy]

I sell wood at 295.00 a cord(128cu ft)That is mixed hardwood.i would consider that average,but the closer you get to Ottawa the prices go up.

 

[tomtrees58]

[Stihl-in-Ky]

$190 a cord in my area 50 miles south of Cincinnati the closer to Cinci the higher it gets.

you are correct sir!

 

[STLfirewood]

I get $270-390 a cord. I get $390 a cord for cook wood and $270-330 for home owner wood. It all depends on how much they buy. That price is delivered and stacked.

Very good prices there ! I don't think we could get that around here in rural areas, but maybe in the larger cities. Of course, transport costs would eat up some of the profit delivering it some distance from the woods.

makes total sense mike,i have always wondered because how fast the juniper cuts,but at the same time burns slow.thanks for the b.t.u figures thats good information to know just my opinion,but you cant even sell a "cord"of wood to someone unless they still have a stove that will take 24"chunks,to me a cord is two rows each 18"wide,four feet tall,and eight feet long

..

.Bull; No , A cord is a cord , is a cord , is a cord .... It,s like a thousand board feet Scribner is a thousand board feet Scribner ... Thats all there is to it ... Cut it 16" long , you get 3 rounds from 48" wood . fits in almost any stove ....... I charge 150$ a cord delivered 4 ft long . pretty much won,t deliver less than 1 1/3rd cord .and prefer more . . Not doing much on the delivery fees yet , but will soon ...Pretty much a dollar a mile 1 way . .

#1 ultra low sulfer diesel is $4.10 a galon here . I get 13 mpg... On a delivery to Valdez . 115 miles 1 way I,m still eating my time , but have a 2 cord minimum delivery there . Just need to watch the wx in Thompson Pass ..

 

[wdchuck]

$150-$465 for a cord. 4x4x8. stacked/delivered is often included at the lower price ranges.

$50-$185 for 1/3cord, 4x8x16", ......stacked/delivery often included at the lower prices.

I take it that you're delivering rounds of fresh cut wood. Do your customers dry it before burning ? How long does it take to cure up there ?
