We are getting our cords at $225 - seasoned hardwood (maple, oak, birch), split and delivered. That's the same price as last year even though the guy said he had to raise his prices.

That's correct, of course. The big variable in my area is the amount of birch. Our other main species are sugar maple, red oak and beech.

I wouldn't even know where to buy pine for burning. Cordwood is virtually always mixed hardwoods here.

$150 to $200 per cord.

$100 to $150 if your willing to take tree-length [20' to 30' length logs of 4" to 8" diameter].

Average is about $200 here, mostly maple and ash with bits of oak and the odd other hardwood mixed in.

Got 15,000 feet of fencelines coming out this fall so I'll have lots to sell.

We just got 4 full cords of seasoned, split and delivered Red Fir for $175. Last year we were able to get in on the deal price (late winter) delivery for $145 for 4 full cords. This year same price for late winter delivery but we had between 3 and 4 feet of snow on the ground! He would not have been able to get the truck in the yard so we had to pay the higher price.
