What are you paying for a green cord of wood?

i saw a half a face cord yeterday of cherry for 85 bucks ouch

I get it by the grapple load at $70.00 a cord every March/April. But lots of cutting and chopping...but its worth it. I can cut lengths too what I want (20inch cuts)
Here in NorthEast CT its about $170.00 split and delivered.

160-180 a cord here in saratoga county ny, cut/split, best I've found log length so far is about 100/cord

I have no idea! I have not had to buy wood yet. But I dont find splitting it fun. Its hard to find the time for me. I was just wondering how much I would pay here on Long Island.

Out here on the "wet coast". We pay $160-$170 in the spring and summer. In winter, $170-$200. Now, if we want that nice stuff that you people have back east (hardwood). A cord of Arbutus costs about $350 per cord anytime of year in this area.

Stop whining, ya don`t know how good you have it with that hardwood!!

Next door to next door pays 150 Split and delivered. Oak at that.

here in mid MO it is $110 -$120 for a full cord split and delivered in the paper and it is oak or hickory depending on who is supplying it.

Here in Southern Maine it is $165-195 a cord unseasoned and delivered. Hard to find any Seasoned stuff and with oil prices the way they are, people who have some seasoned wood in their back yards are selling it for $225-250 a cord! It is a good thing I am a year ahead.

Hey SPED, are you near Greenwich? We just went to JT Baker's for my wife's birthday. Good food.

I just got 5 cords of green split wood for $150 per cord.
I got 2 quotes for log length: One for $110 per cord and the other for $650 per tri-axle (with grapple) load-which I've been told is 6-7 cords.

Stacked cord here in Western NC is about $150.

Wood is plentiful as folks are moving in and building McMansions high on the hills. Funny, none of he locals built on ridges. They'll learn soon enough.

Hi, I pay $170 green and he brings a strong 2 cord load. He will cut any length from 16" - 24". He also cuts it with a hydraulic shear so the shear kind of crushes it on the way down and when it releases the ends open up so the wood dries pretty well in one drying season. I am always two years ahead but if I had to I could burn it , no problem, after one drying year.

OK I'm dying to know! What will they learn soon enough? Seems like a ridge might have a good view or if its a southern exposure lots of free sunlight! (love the McMansion part though).

They'll learn, soon, that emergency services cannot possibly get to them quickly. Twisty mountain roads are twisty mountain roads.

The hills sometime slide. As recently as a couple years ago, during Hurricane Ivan, some "summer house" people from Florida (by way of NJ) fled to their NC side of the mountain house to escape the carnage in Florida. WNC got the rains, big river flooding - and the side of an entire mountain "sloughed" and slid away. They've never found 9 of the 12 bodies of those who were "escaping" the storm.

The mountain "disappeared" them.

You won't hear about that from the Chamber of Commerce though. They keep beating the drum for "come, come..." and the real estate prices escalate, more mountains disappear.

But sometime Mountains win.
