In Reply to: Fire Wood Prices. posted by Bruce Hopf on April 07, 2008 at 09:40:57:
We sell mixed, seasoned firewood (soft and hard maple, white and yellow birch along with some beech). Seasoned can be anything between 8 months and 3 years old depending on how well it dried, but mostly cut for better than 12 months. It also depends on what we've got around.... We do all of our measurements based on 8' wood for no reason other than all of our costs are based on 8' wood sitting roadside. A cord is 128 cubic feet, period. We do not claim that you will have 128 cubic feet once you stack it.... which is why I say that the measure is on an 8' basis. When we block that cord of 8' wood and fire it loose on a truck it still measures 128 cubic feet. When it's split it measures 128 cubic feet. When it's stacked it measures about 100 cubic feet, more or less..... Prices here were 100/cord for 8', 120/cord blocked, round and 140/cord split. Those prices were just increased to 115/135/155 respectively, but I've got my doubts if we'll be moving much long wood. Old man wants to charge that, but I doubt we'll sell any as most others are in the 95-100 range here at the moment. Our prices are the highest around here at the moment as far as I'm aware but we also have the only dry wood at the moment too....
As far as I'm concerned regarding measure..... I'll measure it any way you want and it price accordingly, so long as we agree ahead of time. I figure on 20 dollars/cord delivery included in the price. If I get going any distance then I want 50/hour for the truck... so small loads or long distances are figured over and above the basic delivery allowance. In some areas I won't go with less than a full load which is 6 cords. We try to equalize the trucking as much as possible but there are limits.
Look in your area to see what it's selling for, and don't be too cheap. There's no need of working for nothing. There was a lot of that went on here for the last 15 years. It's just getting profitable again now that the softwood lumber business and the pulp mills are all about buggered....

Today's Featured Article - A Belt Pulley? Really Doing Something? - by Chris Pratt. Belt Pulleys! Most of us conjure up a picture of a massive thresher with a wide belt lazily arching to a tractor 35 feet away throwing a cloud of dust, straw and grain, and while nostalgic, not too practical a method of using our tractors. While this may have been the bread and butter of the belt work in the past (since this is what made the money on many farms), the smaller tasks may have been and still can be its real claim to fame. The thresher would bring in the harvest (and income) once a y
