What Makes Quality Firewood?

Quality firewood is properly seasoned hardwood with low moisture content that burns hot, clean, and efficient. Freshly cut "green" wood contains too much moisture to burn well - it smokes excessively, produces less heat, and creates dangerous creosote buildup in your chimney.

We offer several firewood options to match your needs:

  • Kiln-Dried Mixed Hardwood - Our premium option with moisture content under 20%. Burns immediately with maximum heat output and minimal smoke. Ideal for indoor fireplaces.
  • Seasoned Mixed Hardwood - Air-dried for 6-12 months. Excellent heat value at an affordable price. Perfect for wood stoves and outdoor fire pits.
  • Campfire Bundles - Pre-packaged bundles of seasoned wood, perfect for backyard fire pits and camping trips.
  • Full Cords & Half Cords - Bulk quantities for serious wood burners. A full cord measures 4' x 4' x 8' (128 cubic feet) of stacked wood.

Our firewood is sourced from local tree removals - primarily oak, maple, ash, and other Wisconsin hardwoods known for excellent burning characteristics.

When Do You Need Firewood?

Order firewood when you're preparing for winter heating season, planning outdoor gatherings around a fire pit, stocking up for camping trips, or simply want the ambiance of a real wood fire. We recommend ordering early in fall before peak demand - seasoned wood is available year-round, but supply varies.

Storage Tips

Stack firewood off the ground on pallets or rails, cover the top to shed rain, but leave sides open for air circulation. Store away from your home's foundation.

Equipment & Techniques: We process firewood using commercial log splitters and properly store it in covered areas to maintain low moisture content. Delivery is via dump truck or pickup depending on quantity.

Timeline: We typically deliver within 3-5 business days. During peak fall season, lead times may be longer - order early for guaranteed availability.

Safety Measures: Only burn seasoned firewood indoors. Never burn treated lumber, painted wood, or construction debris. Have your chimney inspected annually to prevent creosote fires.

Frequently Asked Questions About Firewood

A full cord is 128 cubic feet of stacked wood (4' x 4' x 8'). A face cord (or rick) is typically 1/3 of a cord - one row 4' high x 8' long with pieces 16" deep. Always confirm measurements when comparing prices, as "rick" and "face cord" definitions vary.

Kiln-dried wood is dried in a heated chamber to under 20% moisture - it burns immediately with maximum heat. Seasoned wood is air-dried for 6-12 months to around 20-25% moisture. Both burn well; kiln-dried is premium-priced but more convenient.

We sell mixed Wisconsin hardwoods including oak, maple, ash, hickory, and cherry - all excellent burning woods. Oak and hickory provide the longest burn times; maple ignites easily and burns clean. Species mix varies based on our tree removal work.

For occasional fireplace use (weekends and holidays), a face cord should last the season. Regular wood stove users burning daily typically need 2-4 full cords per winter. We can help estimate based on your heating habits.
