    That's just where most of this came from. You can always find it that cheap up in our area of OK. As someone else mentioned, East TX is that cheap too. Sae some advertised North of Belton this weekend @ $225/cord. It really depends where you are. I can find $120/cord all day every day, but it's not up the street. But if you're buying 2+ cord, it's worth the drive.


    When my truck is back up and running, or has been replaced, I'd be happy to bring one back for you. I think I blew a head gasket last month. Haven't had time to mess with it yet.

    When I went to Arkansas to hunt, I saw plenty places that were selling a chord for $50-75. So many trees, people there hardly buy. If I had more time up there, I would of grabbed a trailer load while staying at my friends inlaws place.

    Its getting COLD in East Texas! We have your relief here. We have Oak Firewood seasoned and split and will deliver to your home and stack it. We are a small family operation that is trying to make its daily bread with good old fashioned hard work. All of our 5 children help in this endeavor because they want to eat! If you do not want a full cord we will help there as well. We also have Hickory for sale.

    Delivery available for Carthage, Gary, And Clayton. Anything farther out may require an additional delivery charge.

    $120 a cord if we deliver
    $100 if you are picking up from our Yard here in Carthage.

    $70 for half a cord delivered
    $50 if you pick it up. A pickup truck will hold half a cord.

    Location: Carthage

    The mom and pop outfits are harder to find these days, but it's good to hear they're still out there trying to make their living at reasonable prices. Unfortunately, I'd probably have $60-70 in fuel costs to go get it, as would anyone else living in the Metroplex unless you had alternative reasons for traveling to that area.

I don't see a picture anywhere nor any terms defining cord, rick, or fractions of them. I'll bet you a cord of wood that you can't buy a cord of good seasoned wood for $120, let alone a cord for $120 already split. Even if it's a mixed cord I'd have a hard time believing you could get it for $120 and not have a bunch of trash and kindling in there.

    He's probably just trying to prevent an ER visit.
