What prices are you seeing in your area? Compared to my electric baseboard heat, it’s far cheaper.

I’m upstate I see $350-400 a cord I don’t buy wood tho, but I’m bout to get a log truck tho

It’s gone up just like everything else. Wood pellets are even worse.

A load of logs is the way to go. It’s been pretty steady price of $100 per cord for years around these parts.

NW Boston they're getting 425-450 a cord for one year seasoned and 275-300 for green split cords. I did see an ad on craigslist the other day from a guy that delivers grapple loads of green logs for 125 a cord minimum 8 cords. The prices here have been pretty steady here the last 5 years. When I started out with my stove we were paying 100-125 a cord seasoned one year and green was 75 a cord. All above are delivered prices. Seems like a lot, but the big three; Oil, Gas and Electric are pretty expensive and wood and pellets are still less expensive. I guess it's all relative.

I can get a years worth of firewood for less than a months gym pass...
House Insurance because of the two stoves is a different sad expensive story...

can you get hooked up with a local tree cutting service? I did that a few years ago, he brings a mix of odd shaped and sometimes hard to split pieces, but the logs are free and he delivers for free.

It honestly may just be inflation overall. I saw at Lowe’s yesterday that my snowblower is $1500. When I bought the same model 15 years ago, it was 500 (not on sale). 15 yrs is a long time but prices don’t triple. Prices have really gone screwball over time.

I’m already hooked up with a tree service company. He gives free wood. I just have to cut it up, now what I’m doing is going through my community , and asking neighbors do they want me to cut down a tree for them. I was just asking for a friend

House Insurance is (750k SCARY. I switched from Safeco to Cincinnati saved at least 2k with Home/Auto for Year. $2600 for 2 New Vehicles and $1600 for House for year. Vs 6k for Safeco and they had 6 months car Insurance. So far so good. Went with Hagerty for 2 more Cars for $1000 for year. (Rolls Royce and Convertible Sports Car for Wife in Summer, I keep the Sports Car shrunk down in Winter). Room for Pellets if I need it! https://www.cinfin.com/cincinnati-personal-insurance
