Piñon is a popular firewood here in New Mexico. In the last few years I’ve seen it advertised for $400/cord during peak heating season, but more typically in the $300 range otherwise.

It is high in pitch, and you need to keep things hot to prevent smoldering and creosote buildup. And use well seasoned (dry) wood. Once you get the hang of it you can load the stove up and have a hot bed of coals at dawn.

And the smoke is pungent (in a nice way).
