• Ask about delivery and stacking services, especially important in Mammoth Lakes where snow can make wood pile access challenging
• Purchase your winter supply early in fall before demand peaks and weather complicates delivery logistics
• Inquire about different species available – oak for overnight burns, pine for quick heat, and ask which works best for your specific heating setup
• Bring measurements of your storage area to ensure you order the right quantity and that wood can be properly stacked and covered
