Please identify if you live in Alaska.
Pure Alaskan birch goes $400 a cord delivered up here in interior Alaska. In the fairbanks area, it's illegal to sell green wood.

Seasoned Alaskan birch has similar BTU's as oak,maple or beech.

If available, its a much better deal than spruce, which is terrible firewood.

A cord is 4x4x8ft stacked. I fell, buck and split about 20-30 cord of birch a year.

I also mill a bunch of birch and spruce.
Hell, Mainer. It’s almost illegal to burn wood in Fairbanks.
