Our firewood delivery services are limited to the following towns and municipalities:

Seasonal Renewals

For your convenience we have seasonal renewals. Sometime in the summer our office will send out an early bird renewal form, at which time you can order your wood at a discount. This takes the burden of trying to remember one more thing, off of you!

Types of Firewood

The following resources are presented for the benefit and education of our customers and potential firewood clients:

What Is "Seasoned" and "Green" Firewood?

Whether firewood is considered "Green" or "Seasoned" is determined by the amount of moisture within the wood. If the moisture content is greater than 50%, the wood is considered "green". Any wood that has been cut down within the last year should be considered "green". Burning green wood is very ineffective because the potential energy (heat) that the wood can create through burining is lost in the release of the moisture through steam.

In order to decrease the moisture content of wood, the surface area must be opened to allow the water to evaporate. Firewood will not begin to "season" until it is split. Firewood will not season while in its natural form.

"Seasoned" Firewood has a moisture content of less than 40% that will allow the wood to burn effectively and release the potential BTU's (heat). Wood that has been properly split and stored will promote the evaporation of water. In most areas of the country, especially the Northeast, it will take up to a year for split hardwood to be properly seasoned. Wood with more than 40% moisture content should not be burned for home heating. The minimum moisture content for optimal BTU's is no more than 20% to 30% moisture and as low as 10%. Below 10% the wood will burn too quickly.

Should I use Hardwoods or Softwoods?

Hardwoods are very dense and they have more BTU's (potential heat) per volume as compared to softwoods. They tend to be more difficult to light, but will burn for a longer amount of time and release a good amount of heat. For all pratical purposes, hardwoods are the best choice to use for firewood. Hardwoods include Oak, Maple, Ash, Beech, Birch and Hickory. Although most hardwoods are good for firewood, Elm, Popular and Sycamore are among the few hardwoods that have poor burning characteristics.

Softwoods are less dense than hardwoods and tend to burn very quickly. They are good for starting a fire but will release a low amount heat while burning. Softwoods contain a large amount of sap, and are therefore not recommended for indoor firewood, as burning them in large amounts may build up a dangerous amount of creosote in your chimney. Cedar is among the best softwood to use for kindling and fire-starting.
