[kayakkeith]

What would you consider a fair price for this load of all locust only...

Woodstock Progress
2 dogs - wife in the hills of WV
3 whitewater kayaks and lots of skis and couple Mt bikes

Looks to me like you are LTD livin the dream !!

As for a fair price I am stumped.

I'd pay between $450.00 - $550.00 cash for that, being that normal log loads of ash, maple, oak mixed go between $350 & $450 a load by me.

That would be cheap for a load around here...mixed like that goes for about $600

This is interesting to me for two reason
1) I like black locust
2) Spotted a log load near a land clearing site today.

So how many cord do you think are in the picture posted ? & What a fair price per log load cord in your area ?

So that is about 6 to 7 cords
So a truck of mixed hardwood around here tha size gets about $600
This is going for $900

The issue here is that as we all know here, this log truck is like a load of coal or oil just in log form, unfortunately few of the general public understand the value of this, many through "here say" think this is a tough to burn wood and would rather stick the oak, maple, birch, ash.

Never heard anyone say it’s tough to burn...always want some locust for the 20 degree and colder nights
Around these parts burners react to locust here like it’s the best for cold nights and long burns...
I always say it’s the crack cocaine of wood burners...they can never get enough

Ash and birch is not looked at as good burning wood...definitely oak though

Not to hijack this tread but.

What breed of dogs do you have ?

Also , I spent many a good time down in WV chasing great whitewater. Upper Yough , Gauley to name a few. What waters do you all paddle ?


West Virginia is Wild and Wonderful !

"Tough to burn wood?" What in the world? Get it up to Fahrenheit 451 and it will burn good.

It is my favorite firewood and I burn lots of it here in the NC mountains. Holds coals great.
