Fruits trees won't give you very much firewood. When a tree dies you nay get a day or two, when u prune them you may get a weeks worth if you have acres and acres of them but that will be a lot of work to cut small diameter stuff up.

My wood truck will haul a cord and gets 6 mpg. I can't drive very far before it doesn't pay. Fortunately it's only 18 miles one-way to our woodcutting area.
I found a someone local on the way home from work that says he has about 12 logs a mix of pine maple and oak that hes giving away Hopefully I can check it out tomorrow and it turns out to be good.

Same situation here but a little closer, 200 feet would probably put me in front of the house behind me.
