WHY ARE PRICES SO DIFFERENT WHEN PURCHASING FIREWOOD?
You may see in your local newspaper, 1/3 of cord for $95.00. We sold wood at that price too, back in 1993. If you see very cheap prices, typically the firewood is probably not seasoned, it will be crisscrossed stacked (so you will receive only about 60% of what you really paid for) or the wood is a mix of junk and you will burn through it quickly and have to reorder very quickly. Also, it seems in this day and age everyone with a pickup truck and a chainsaw is firewood business. When ordering from these vendors, they generally always run out or leave you high and dry when they go out of business in a year or two. Avoid partial cords or unusual measurements. Some vendors sell 3’x4′ stacks or 3’x7′ stacks. You may feel like you are getting a good deal, but if you calculate out the volume in full cords, they could cost you more than you think!
