One gallon of #2 fuel oil is 140,000 btu. One cord of douglas fir is about 21,000,000 btu. One cord of doug fir equals about 150 gallons of #2 fuel oil. Assuming a gallon of fuel oil is $4.00/gallon. 150 gallons is $600.00 dollars. Guys selling cords of wood delivered in the range of $250-400/cord are cutting their own throats. Around here in rural Ea. Wa. $250-300/cord is about the going rate. These guys do not put much value on their time.
Just had 3 cords of split, dry, larch / fir mix delivered in stevens county for 220 per cord. Its a deal in my book. Lotta other stuff id rather be doing than bucking, hauling, splitting wood. Hard to find a good source though. Most guys will short cord ya, slip in a buncha spruce and junk, or green wood. Or all 3.
