Info&Tips
Product
Most wood we deliver is lodgepole pine. Lodgepole is a good firewood choice. It is denser than many other pines, splits easily, burns longer, and produces moderate to high heat.
Storage
To ensure your firewood seasons quickly and burns easily, wood should be stacked and not left in a pile. It can either be stacked hash tag # style or classically .:::. and only the top should be covered. By covering the top and leaving the sides exposed you are keeping rain/snow off while allowing airflow to cure the pieces.
Burning
Quality kindling is as important as dry firewood. If you do not produce your own kindling we suggest buying prepared kindling from the hardware store. Our favorite DIY Quick Start kindling is made by axe cutting compressed presto logs into "hockey pucks” and igniting them with fire starter squares/sticks. Wood orientation when starting your fire is paramount. The hash tag # method is best for wood stoves and fireplaces and the tipi /|\ method works great in fire pits. Use smaller pieces to get fire started.
