We have just started the firewood side of our business. We saw that most firewood being sold in the valley was expensive $200/ cord and of medium quality (mostly pinon and juniper). This is all wood that has to be cut on the mountain and hauled down so that it has a lot of energy going in to it. We are cutting wood in town and using our waste to provide hardwoods that have 20% more BTU's per cord than pinon. Hardwoods burn cleaner, it takes less energy to get them and you have to burn less by volume to get the same heat.
