There is talk that heating oil could go up a $1.00 per gallon, on
top of the high prices last winter. A couple of cords of wood is
beginning to look cheap.

Talk? My oil contract this year is 93¢ more that last year. Current
prices in CT/MA are about $2.20.

Unless you cut your own wood, the cordwood prices tend to follow
close behind the oil prices.


Ain't that the truth! Thing is, the price of hardwood pulp at the
mill has remained the same. Jobbers are just hooking us.



Economists will describe this as a demand pull for alternate, or substitute

Buy a good chain saw and a used pickup truck. Oh, and a lathe.
