Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best firewood?

Hardwoods are best: oak, hickory, ash, maple. Avoid softwoods like pine as primary heat — they produce more creosote.

How long does firewood need to dry?

Green wood needs 6–24 months to season. Seasoned wood has under 20% moisture — burns hotter and produces less smoke.

How much does a cord cost?

Expect $150–$400 per cord for seasoned hardwood. Buying 2+ cords often reduces the per-cord price.
