We've had a really cold winter so far, and people are running out of wood, so prices have increased even more. In a classified last week, someone was advertising green hardwood for $290 per cord. Burning wood has become a huge expense for anyone who doesn't have access to "free" wood. It’s unbelievable how expensive wood has become.

Nobody has any good hardwood left. I'm in a rural area, but unfortunately, I don't have access to fallen trees nearby (except occasionally) and I don't have a truck, chainsaw, or enough muscles to cut and split my own wood.

Fortunately we have about two cords left over, (and a few fallen trees that we just split) so we should be able to get away with buying green wood later in the season. Sure beats paying for oil, though! It has been running around $175 for green wood here, but we have been having a hard time finding anyone with wood left right now.

We got lucky this year.... John works on a camp and there are dead trees all over.... kinda free reign for us to stock up for next year! That is outrageous for something natural!

We burn aprox 4 cords a year depending on the winter. We moved from a home that burned oil and we would be well over $4k a year not including electricity...I love my wood, work and all.

The winter here in Oklahoma was most unfriendly to our trees, and there were sites giving away firewood all over town. $250.00 a cord seems outrageous! I remember when I was in high school, my brother in law and his brother bought a chain saw, and cut firewood to sell. It was in Arizona, so there wasn't nearly the call for it that you would have in New England, but they sold it cut, split, delivered and stacked for $50.00 per cord. It was thirty years ago, but that is some serious inflation! TM Would that we could have sent some firewood your way.
