I've been raising my prices every year gradually... My face cords are now $140.00, Cords are $360.00 like yours, bundles are $8.00 each or 3-for $20.00. Chainsaw chains aren't cheap! Delivery charge is between $1.50 to $2.00 a mile one way charge. Your Channel has helped me grow a successful Firewood business and I'm thankful for that. Have a great day Chris!

Wow. So soothing listening to that wood clank. Love it.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, dry wood sounds great!

[@JeffreyRitter-gr7zs]

😊😊😊

[@earlystrings1]

I live in the Rockies and burn pine almost exclusively for heat because it’s all we’ve got. It makes a fast, intense fire and, as far as I can tell, has about the same heat per weight as hard woods. Of course a given volume like a cord has less weight. Pine makes a lot less ash than hardwood so you can burn longer between clean outs. The coals don’t last nearly as long as hardwood but you can usually get your fire going in the morning if you damp back before going to bed. It smells incredible and makes a lovely fire.

[@InTheWoodyard]

YES!!!! I agree 100% But there are a lot of wood snobs that are very convinced that if you burn pine your house will explode!! Haaa!

[@VK-ds2dw]

Have you ever burned spruce? Is there a difference between it and pine?

[@williamhodgden8970]

@@InTheWoodyard quite the excaggerator you are. Us wood snobs as you call us obviously have more experience with wood burning the you. And never have I see anyone that said their house will explode by burning pine. Pine burns good and it can be used for firewood safely. But for you to bullshit people on it being as safe as other woods just shows your inexperience.

[@stevematsumura255]

You're a good man and you have good business practices! Really enjoy watching your videos!!

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks! Glad you like them!

[@JeffreyRitter-gr7zs]

What it's all about. Good deals. 😊😊❤

[@dusttoyou4550]

I like pine for shop stove. Otherwise pine's wasted in the burn pile. Like you said, it is not a big creosote maker if dried well. When I was a kid I remember those ladies that cooked on a wood stove preferred pine because it burned hot, fast and coals didn't stay, this gave them control over how hot and how long the cook stove was ready to match the recipe.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, all wood burns and cooking with pine is fine!

[@TravisDoesFirewood]

Thank you for another confirmation!!! I also appreciate you sharing your wood prices and how they differ between hard and soft woods.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks Travis!

[@davidedwards3734]

As long as Pine is dry its fine for inside burning. Lots of people believe the creosote from fresh pines builds up, if you burn it dry it doesn't cause a problem. Great video Chris. Have a Safe Day

[@MMas-uj1xk]

Yes, The negative comments Ive heard of pine is about the creosote buildup causing chimney fires. I think that is why it gets a bad wrap.

[@thefirewooddoctor]

I used to think burning any pine except for kindling would cause problems when burning in a wood stove or fireplace. Then got educated on it and stopped being a "firewood snob".

[@InTheWoodyard]

Great point!

[@InTheWoodyard]

That is good!

[@wdsracer]

We burn spruce here in Ny as well as hardwood. No issues with creosote.

[@MDR-hn2yz]

I dropped a massive Eastern White Pine on my property a few years ago. I couldn’t bear to waste it so I bucked it up and split it. It burned fast and hot, and was actually not bad when mixed with some hardwood. I have lost 2 back windows on my trucks over the years. Finally I just bought a back rack.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, pine is fine!!

[@ParasitikOne]

My grandfather had property out in a pine forest here in Texas… he would drop 2-3 cords of wood a year and use it to heat his workshop/shed as well as his enclosed patio. He would drop it drag it to the barn buck split and stack it and season it for 2-3 years… never had an issue in his house or shed in the 10 years I helped him split and stack it

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, there are a lot of wood snobs that will only burn one or two kinds of wood, it all burns and PINE is FINE!

[@Richard-Hawkins-1966]

Well Chris, I sold out completely last night. Nothing but cookies and chunks left and they are selling pretty fast. Maybe a cord of it left. Gotta try and increase production for next year. Thanks for all you do for us. I have learned a lot from your videos.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Oh no! You better get cuttin'!

[@jamesgroves5294]

Extremely valuable information! Thank you 🙏🏿🇺🇸🪓

[@InTheWoodyard]

Glad it was helpful!

[@bfoutdooradventures]

Chris, just imagine if the firewood business followed the lumber prices the last two years! For the quality product you deliver I can see why no one would complain about your 9% increase.

[@InTheWoodyard]

No one has yet!

[@jonhutchinson2902]

One one would heat with wood if it went up as much as lumber.

[@mister_syre]

I have a lot of pine available and already cut after clearing up my lot for a house build and everyone says I shouldn't use it as fire wood. My reasoning was that if it's really dry and you burn it right, it should be fine (and it's free). Thanks for proving me right.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, all wood burns but wet/green wood needs to dry first!

[@sebasstuff8847]

Pine makes the absolute best kindling. I also use em for first and last logs.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, it sure does!

[@melanderson8364]

Hi Chris, love your site and learned so much before I buy wood for my 2 months in my camp area in Northern BC. Ur such a asset for single gals Ike myself that love being in bush n important to know everything about firewood 👍🙏🏻😁

[@InTheWoodyard]

[@rodneysweetnam8653]

Hi Chris - it's Big Rodders in Ireland. I like your choice in Blues music. If you're a firewood snob here you'll end up mighty cold because the bulk of available woods are softwoods. In ways I much prefer them as they provide ready intense heat and burning them hot in a stove ensures no flue problems. I'm lucky to be able to get Tree Service wood for about $30 a cord but I must take what there's so I've learnt not to be fussy, just grateful!

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks again for watching Mr. Big!

[@outdoorsnevada4138]

in many areas pine and juniper may be the only options. We use pine to start our fires and maybe take the chill out of the air in the mornings. Fires we want to last the night and keep a steady warmth we throw a couple big logs of juniper that will last the night.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, you gotta burn what you have and all wood burns!!

[@Northofsomething82]

Pine and spruce is about all we burn in northern Manitoba Canada. Same situation, all we really have. I sell a lot of pine as campfire wood as well. That snap crackle pop from the pitch is pure entertainment.

[@InTheWoodyard]

I'm a truck driver. How the fuel surcharge works, well the easiest way to explain it is. When diesel is over a certain price a small portion or small percentage of the fuel cost is forwarded to the receiver of the product. It start back in 04 or 05 when we had the last major fuel spike and just never went away. But then again the fuel never returned to normal.

New subscriber. I’m a newbie to firewood. Getting my first wood stove soon. A Blaze King. I ordered a load of ash and locust full cord $200 delivered. Sounds like I’m getting a great deal here in upstate ny. Thanks for teaching me about firewood. Last year propane was 2.69 gal, this year $4.59. I’m done. Also I have 7 acres of white pine some are down. After hearing this I’m definitely going to dry it good and burn it in bigger pieces like you said. Thanks 🙏

[@woodman4081]

Red pine is a fantastic firewood - especially the pieces that have knots in them - loads of heat, just have to make the pieces a little bigger to give the same burn time as the hardwoods

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, my brother heated his house for a full year with just red pine, he liked it!

[@tinysworld1749]

I'm thinking about making a sign for the end of my dock for campfire wood this year, delivery by boat. Thinking probably half a facecord as the standard amount, that fits perfectly in my tractor bucket without having to pile it up.

Yes!

[@thefirewooddoctor]

Dang Firewood snobs! Some of my customers have said in person, phone call to find out where my stand is, and in messages said "I don't care what it is as long as it isn't pine." One of my customers uses the wood in a small wood stove in his mobile home and loves the size of my splits. If it wasn't for your commentary on the size of the splits, especially in your early videos, my sales might bot have been as good as they were. Size of the splits is the 2nd best piece of advice you've given. Your advice on curting ad much as you can and sell only dry wood are tied for first place.

[@InTheWoodyard]

I’ve broken the rear glass twice, two different trucks, firewood both times! Bad bounce both times, not a direct hit.

Ouch!

110$ for face cord is high. Not sure what state you’re in. It looks cold. 75$ a face cord down here in GA. It went up from 65$. Pine pretty much isn’t used here but have got for 50$ a face cord. There is pine everywhere in GA but not used for firewood much.

That was 2 years ago, I now charge $120 for most firewood face cords but cherry and hickory (hard to get) is $130 and it all includes free delivery within ten miles. In the Chicago area a face cord sells for $200-300 all day every day ....the moral of the story is supply and demand...colder climate and fewer trees and lots of people equals higher prices....few people and lots of trees in a warm climate equals cheap/free firewood.

Great job. I agree entirely with "overdelivering". I've always been worried about pine in our wood stove. I'm curious - and maybe I've missed it in a previous video - you handle a LOT of wood. What gloves do you find hold up best? Do you wear insulated versions in the winter and uninsulated gloves in the summer?

[@InTheWoodyard]

I use KINCO gloves, pig skin.

Here in The Yukon ( northern Canada) just east of alaska we only have pine and spruce and I have heated my shop and house for over 30 years. Around here we like to turn our noses up at aspen but I’m sure if that was all there was it would be fine.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, it all burns and you burn what you have! Thanks Paul!

I live in northern new mexico (southern rocky mountains) and like he said in the video we mostly have ponderosa pine and piñon pine in the lower elevations. but also we have red/white fir, aspen etc, and juniper in the lower elevations and some scrub oak. we keep warm with what we have

I have 80 gallon propane tank that I use for lazy days for heat when I don't feel like going up and down the stairs to load the wood burner last year to fill tank was 116.00 this year was 260 00 for same tank

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, everything is higher now, thanks uncle Joe.
