How much does a cord of firewood cost in the Asheville area?

Country Homes: Wood and Propane Both Earn Their Keep

In the rural valleys around Mars Hill, many properties burn wood by tradition and back it up with propane, and both make sense off the gas main. If you burn, remember our cool climate means a longer heating season and more cords — and green wood needs a full six to twelve months split and stacked before it's under about 20% moisture and ready.

Buy a true full cord — 128 cubic feet, not a rick — green in spring, so it's seasoned by the time the cold settles in early up here.

Rentals Want Fire Without the Firewood

The university-area rental homes are a different story: tenants come and go and won't be splitting logs or sweeping a chimney. That's where an easy-use, sealed gas appliance fits — steady heat at the flip of a switch, no cord to stock, no creosote to manage. It's simply a better match for a house that changes hands often.
