Get your Firewood now. Don’t wait for winter.
Have a look at our Cord King in action.
We have been working hard to prepare for the demands for firewood this winter is going to bring.
“Most of our customers get their wood well ahead of winter. You’d be surprised at the amount of people who call us in the middle of winter because they just ran out of wood.”
“We can provide any quantity of firewood that you need to keep your fireplace stoked this winter. All of our wood is seasoned and stored indoors in our circulated and heated 300′ facility. Well seasoned firewood is easier to start, produces more heat, and burns cleaner. 95% of our hardwood is ash and provide high heat and minimal smoke.”

Storing Firewood
Even well seasoned firewood can be ruined by bad storage. Exposed to constant rain or covered in snow, wood will reabsorb large amounts of water, making it unfit to burn and causing it to rot before it can be used. Wood should be stored off the ground if possible and protected from excess moisture when weather threatens. The ideal situation is a wood shed, where there is a roof but open or loose sides for plenty of air circulation to promote drying. Next best would be to keep the wood pile in a sunny location and cover it on rainy or snowy days, being sure to remove the covering during fair weather to allow air movement and to avoid trapping ground moisture under the covering.
Also don’t forget that your woodpile also looks like heaven to termites, so it’s best to only keep a week or so worth of wood near the house in easy reach. With proper storage you can turn even the greenest wood into great firewood in 6 months or a year, and it can be expected to last 3 or 4 years if necessary.
Some Tips on burning firewood this winter:
- Only use dry firewood
- Never burn household waste or food scraps in your fireplace
- Store your wood properly
- Make sure your chimney is inspected and swept annually
- Ensure your home is well insulated
Buying Firewood
Firewood is generally sold by volume, the most common measure being the cord. Other terms often employed are face cord, rick, or often just a truckload. A standard cord of firewood is 128 cubic feet of wood, generally measured as a pile 8 feet long by 4 feet tall by 4 feet deep. A face cord is also 8 feet long by 4 feet tall, but it is only as deep as the wood is cut, so a face cord of 16″ wood actually is only 1/3 of a cord, 24″ wood yields 1/2 of a cord, and so on.
