Cord Firewood
Cord Firewood
I was wondering what yall were payin this winter for a cord of seasoned firewood delivered and stacked. I mainly want Texas prices but any one can give me ther price. Thanks. Kyle
I know it's a bit far away from your neck of the woods, but up here in tree plentiful Washington State, they're paying between 100-120 for split and delivered Alder/Maple mix and about the same for Fir.
Little far from you also, but last year I paid $80/cord for 8 ft lengths. Delivered by semi and piled in your yard. Ash,oak, and birch. DIY as far as cutting and splitting. Had an outside woodstove so size wasn't to much of an issue. I went through 14-15 cords last winter too.

Mixed hardwood in this area sells for average of $110 per cord(a real cord). Oak will run ~$150 and hickory ~$225.
Need a load? Headed through Texarkana to Dallas and south to Killeen on the 5th.

Ever consider switching to a pellet stove? I love my Harman P61 ($150 per ton if you buy early summer). Bring them home, stack them, and just tear open and pour into the hopper. Heat is controlled by a thermostat on the stove. This is my 3rd winter with it.
My bro-in-law burned wood for a couple of years, but got tired of the extra work needed. He switched during last winter (also to a P61) and is very happy.
Just trying to throw a wrench in the works.

My dad bought a pellet stove when we first moved into our house to replace a fireplace insert. The next winter the power went out and guess what NO HEAT!!!!!!! Also I think a fireplace heats a house more evenly. Our pellet stove heats the living room which is where the stove is. Personally I will never have a pellet stove. But to each his own. Kyle

Pellet stoves use electricity to run both the combustion fan and the distribution fan. Battery backups are available if you're worried about your power going out. For ~ $250, you can get one that you switch over manually. For ~ $350, you can get one that will sense the power has gone out, and switch over automaticly. A $40 battery from Wally World supplies the power. We never lose power here, so I haven't bothered to buy one.
The P61 is Harman's largest stove, other than their P100 furnace. The P61 will heat 2000 square feet (it's 61K btu's) and other models are available. They cost more than a wood stove, won't put out as many btu's and use electricity. Those are the only negative reasons of owning one.
On the positive side, they're controlled by a thermostat so they can be turned up or down, unlike a wood stove. I empty my ash pan once or twice a year, and the pellets are cheaper and cleaner. 98% of the pellets burn, leaving very little ash. There's no chopping and stacking of wood. I have 2 pallets in my cellar, so I pick up my pellets, drive up to my cellar door, and carry in the 40 lb bags 2 at a time. I bought 3.5 tons for this year, and at 5 bags per row, I have 2 pallets full. Their ~ 6.5 feet high and there were ~ 8 bags I had to stack to the side. On the coldest days, I go through a bag a day, but I don't use it to heat the entire house.
I don't work for them, just a satisfied customer.

All that and it doesn't heat the whole house? Wow.
My house is 28x52 ranch, with a wood stove in the basement....I heat my whole place with it......on a little less than 4 full cords a season.........$ 500
If it gets to hot I open the doors and send some into the air to help out my neighbors...

My bro-in-law uses his P61 to heat his house, which is a split ranch. He bought 5 tons for this winter.
I could use mine that way, but it would get pretty toasty downstairs. To do that, I'd need a few more ducts and maybe a couple of fans to move, or draw the heat up to the other end of the house where the kitchen & living room are.
