Around here 150-250 Just depends what it is...Hickory and Apple for smokers is the 250.00 stuff.

Around here I see $45-$55 for a face cord. Some is a delivered price and some are not delivery included. Today on my bike ride I saw a fellow had some good dry oak for sale at $45.

I have not seen anyone selling wood by the cord here although they all call their face cords as a cord of wood. Makes no sense.

 

[GAMMA RAY]

ash, maple, oak and cherry $150 for a cord here in nepa..split and delivered...a bit extra for stacking...not sure how much...me and the Mr. stack it...

 

[blades]

Around here cord $225-275

 

[mainstation]

Backwoods, $45-55 a face cord is a great price, cut/split/delivered. I am buying hardwood tops around here for $25-40 a face cord (hard Maple).
Nobody sells wood by the "cord" here, it's by the face cord, 4' H X 16" L X 8' Wide.

The local firewood dealer sells his wood at 200 a cord. Most others at 40-60 a face cord. The local Amish a mile down the road sell for 135 a cord all hardwood.

im pickign up face cord for 60 even cut and split and dried two years old to 6-9% moisture content. This is hardwood. I have to go get it. I cut my own wood but can never get ahead, so im buying 10-20 cord of this stuff so later this summer, when in the woods cutting for myself, I will be cutting for the 2012-2013 season, as I should be! Im here in upstate ny, were feul price are outragious.

So I use this website to calculate a cord
http://www.maine.gov/ag/firewood.html

So for a little over a cord split but not delivered I am paying about $80 a cord - seems okay with me from the prices I am seeing - and basically what I am using to measure is this website

 

[PapaDave]

Pretty much been $165-180 since we moved here almost 5 years ago. C/S/D, all oak, but not dry.
My brother's been getting his c/s/d from a guy he knows for about $150/cord, mostly oak and it looks pretty dry. Go figure.
I get my log loads for $75 cord, min. is 10 cord. Next load is liable to be higher.

You are right there! A few years ago it was going for $60 and higher but now with the glut of dead ash the prices have fell big time.

There's a big swing here. Craigs list will get you green for $100 per full cord, you pick up. $150 delivered, last I looked. I pay between $150 - $190, usually, less for pine. I've 2 local guys who have wood that's pretty much seasoned.

X2, pretty much the same thing I see here.

 

[Todd]

$50-$65 per face cord of Oak csd around here, the dry stuff is on the high end but you can find some better deals for rounds or logs.

 

[dafattkidd]

I'm on long island so basically what eileen said is exactly the case, except I recently found a guy who delivers $100/cord s/d green all hardwoods. Good guy. I bought 2 cords like a month ago. Great wood source.

I'll deliver and stack it for $400 cord. Want me to swing by Monday?

 

[kayakkeith]

I am still trying to figure out if what I am getting is a full cord or what they call a face cord - again that website I am using is basically saying I am getting a little over a cord. Thats my 8ft bed pick up truck packed with wood and just a little higher then the top.

I was thinking what I was getting it for I was going to call you and offer a load for $300 and just throw it in a pile in your street....

Oh by the way Warren did a killer set at All Good - I was there for two of the days - Jon Butler Trio also did a killer show - better then Further as that Dead stuff just doesnt rock enough for me

Wow. I can't get over some of the prices! I wish I lived in the land of cheap wood that some of you seem to be in...

Around here, hardwood sells for $250 a cord c/s/d. Softwood sells for $130-$150 or so. And I know of a few guys who sell softwood for $250 a cord c/s/d. One day I asked a few of them " You realize that there is not near the same amount of BTUs in softwood as hardwood and yet you sell them the same price" Their replies " Softwood takes a heck of a lot more time to c/s than hardwood with all the branches". I gotta admit that he is right. Hence why they charge the same price for hardwood or softwood. Now the question is, who is foolish enough to buy a cord of softwood from them!?

Kayak Keith: a face cord is 42.6 cubic feet (1.3X4X8) and a full cord is 3 times this (4X4X8) which gives 128 cubic feet including air gaps.
Hope this helps!

I sell split hardwood delivered for $75 per face cord or 210 per cord if you purchase 2 or more.

 

[lukem]

$45 is the going rate for 1/3 cord (rick, facecord) of hardwood delivered.

 

[fireview2788]

SW Ohio is going for around $150/cord.
