How Much Is a Truck Bed of Firewood Worth?

Nothing is cozier than building a fire in your wood burning stove or fireplace on a cold winter night. Firewood provides heat and brings a bit of rustic charm to the home. But how much is a truck bed full of firewood worth?

The answer depends on the type of wood, quality and quantity you purchase. If you buy good quality firewood, it typically costs between $100 and $400 per truck bedload, depending on the region and type of wood.

Hardwoods (such as oak) are typically more expensive than softwoods (such as pine). Quality is also important because higher-quality firewood will burn longer and hotter than lower-grade wood.

Another factor to consider is the moisture content of the wood. Firewood should be seasoned for at least six months prior to burning, meaning it has been cut and left to dry for an extended period of time so that the moisture content drops below 20%.

Firewood with higher moisture content burns slower, produces more smoke, and often leaves creosote deposits in chimneys. Unseasoned wood can also cause problems with air pollution due to increased emissions from burning wet wood.

In addition to buying firewood from local suppliers, you can also gather your own. This option will provide you with free fuel while allowing you to save a bit of money. However, it’s important to be aware of any laws or regulations regarding gathering firewood in your area – some places have restrictions that must be followed.

Conclusion:

A truck bed full of firewood is worth anywhere from $100 – $400 depending on the type, quality, and moisture content of the wood. Additionally, there may be laws or regulations regarding gathering your own firewood which should be taken into account when deciding where to purchase your fuel from.
