How Much Is a Truck Bed of Firewood?

Firewood is a popular and affordable way to heat many homes. It also provides a great source of recreation, whether burning it in the fireplace, bonfires, campfires, or any other means of burning wood. But how much does it cost and what is the best way to get firewood?

The cost of firewood can vary greatly depending on your location, the type of wood being purchased, and the amount being purchased. Generally speaking, a truck bed full of firewood can range from $150-$500 depending on these factors.

Firewood is typically sold by the cord or by the truckload. A cord is typically 128 cubic feet (4ft x 4ft x 8ft) and a truckload is usually around 2-3 cords.

When buying firewood it’s important to understand what you’re getting. Firewood can be sold in different lengths (sometimes referred to as “split length”).

The most common lengths are 16 inch, 20 inch, 24 inch and 30 inch logs. You should also ask if the wood has been seasoned or not as this will affect its burnability. Seasoned firewood has been cut for 6-12 months so that the moisture content has been reduced and it will burn better.

Another factor to consider when buying firewood is delivery costs. Many businesses offering firewood for sale will deliver for an additional fee which can add quite a bit to your total purchase price.

In conclusion, how much a truck bed full of firewood costs depends largely on where you live and what type of wood you are purchasing. It’s important to do research ahead of time and ask questions when buying so that you know exactly what you are getting and how much it will cost before making your purchase.
