Anyone familiar with Google Charts?

I'm trying to create a stacked bar chart, but every time I enter my data, the chart does NOT reflect the data I've entered.

I don't know how to code the charts, so I've just been using the wizard, which seems broken.

----

For reference, the data I'm trying to portray are timber prices and for each product there is a price range (hence the stacked chart):

Hardwood Pulpwood: $3-$5
X ties: $15-$22
Oak Logs: $32-$37
Poplar Logs: $25-$29
Chip n Saw: $9-$13
Pine Sawtimber: $18-$22
Pine Pulpwood: $5-$8
Super Pine Pulpwood: $8-$9.50
...

Anyone use Google Charts enough to know what my problem is? The script it's providing me is:

<img src="//chart.googleapis.com/chart?chxl=0:|Super+Pine+Ppw|Pine+Ppw|Pine+Sawtimb er|Chip+n+Saw|Poplar+Logs|Oak+Logs|X+Tie|Hardwood+ Ppw&chxr=0,0,50|1,0,50&chxt=y,x&chbh=a&chs=800x300 &cht=bhs&chco=008000,80C65A&chd=s:CJUPFLDF,DNXSINF G&chtt=North+Georgia" width="800" height="300" alt="North Georgia" />

Chart type: trend: candlestick.
Isn't perfect as you have to double up values, but depending on how you intend to use it, should be ok.

Do you think candlestick is better than the horizontal bars I used? The candlestick seems to kind of confuse the data visually...

The legend should show that blue or whatever is min, and the other max. As is, it comes across as there being 2 types of each. But that could just be that i'm not in the industry *shrug*

I think they look ok, but it seems to me there's a better way to display this info.

Yeah, I was thinking there's a better way also... =/
