10 good reasons to heat with wood (broken link removed to http://www.woodheat.org/why/10good.htm)
WHITE AND RED OAK ONLY. Check the national research (VA State University):
-Heat value (Btu/cord) 20,450,000 in airtight wood stove (twice more than pine firewood and twice cheaper than Con-Edison natural gas)
- Production of Heavy Smoke - lowest among North American firewood (less chimney cleaning calls)
- Production of Sparks - lowest among North American firewood (safety!)"

1,080 a cord what a deal....WTH, this guy must be smoking the Hippie Lettuce!
He must also live next to some NY Jets or Giants players that can afford that price



Oak seasoned more than 1 year...... better hope its 2 years or he should just add a free chimney cleaning with that ridiculous price
Keep an eye out for that price to steadily drop when this rookie wood seller realizes that he is charging way too much

As a famous fighter in Rocky III says
"I PITTY THE FOOL"

Is this guy a Congressional firewood supplier? "$400.00 for a hammer...?" (Judd Hursh (sp?) in Independance Day)

Imagine if this guy sold heating oil... $40 a gallon...

If I used 5 cords at $1080.00, comes out to $5400 annually. I can tell my wife that I am saving $5400 a year and since I am SAVING that much, we can afford
to eat beef tenderloin every meal.

That is still .01 less than an equivalent amount of propane.

Some folks just don't have a clue.

Probably selling into that same pool that buys thier wood at the grocery store 5 splits at a time.
Spell checkers are apreciated by many of those buyers, too.

Probably selling into that same pool that buys their wood at the grocery store 5 splits at a time.

...for $7.99.

Makes $10 for 10 splits sound like a deal!
