LOL 21 replies and not one of them from SC. I can post my price too and the drive would be a lot less than from Alaska.

8 foot logs of Birch go for around $90 a cord but of course that's not firewood. Same guy will sell you the Birch as firewood for $90 a level pickup bed. It was bucked, split, and heaped this Summer so needs another year for EPA stoves.
 
LLigetfa, you say: "...of course that's not firewood." Just my luck, the trees the October snow in NJ took down on my property were White Birch, which I know is not great firewood, but I'll burn it anyway...next year I guess as it is still "green" cut into rounds last week and not yet split. I think Black Birch is better firewood, but have never burned or even seen Black Birch, must grow somewhere else, maybe Mars.

NJ is a little closer to SC than Ontario, especially NW Ontario, and I too gave a price in US dollars. I think the Canada $ is still higher than the US $ so that adds to your price for us "southerners" : )

Not denegrating Birch. Just meant that it's not firewood until after it's been bucked and split. Some peeps still wouldn't consider it firewood until it's seasoned.

$1 US is worth 1.05 CDN today.
