$1 a pound??!! That's crazy. That's like $2,000 per cord. I'm in the wrong business.

$2000 per cord:confused2: Maybe if you are burning pine or other soft wood.

Hardwoods in our area are 3300-3800lb/cord

Years ago in an issue of Sawmill Magazine they talked about sawing stumps... but they had to be "certified" I'm not sure if they were talking about old Cypress stumps or what they were refering to.

Red Cedar 1,955 lbs./cord... Sweep's Library - Firewood BTU Comparison Charts

My uncle used to saw Cypress stumps into 4" to 6" slabs that he would turn into tables. He made quite a name for himself locally doing it; Paul Harvey stopped by once to order a custom one. They ended up being friends until Paul passed.

That's not quite the "rest of the story" but it's the best I can do.

Red Cedar 1,955 lbs./cord... Sweep's Library - Firewood BTU Comparison Charts

Yep, a soft wood no doubt.

Major species in my area are

Red Oak...........3570lbs
hickory............4080
sugar maple......3740
Ash.................3485

The lightest woods we have around here are white pine and cottonwood, which are still heavier than that cedar. And no one around here even considers them firewood:confused2:
