Tips for First-Time Buyers

• Ask about moisture content – properly seasoned firewood should have 20% or less moisture for optimal burning
• Understand cord measurements – a full cord is 4x4x8 feet, while face cords are typically 1/3 that amount
• Inquire about wood species and their burn characteristics to match your specific heating or cooking needs
• Ask about delivery and stacking services, especially for larger quantities or if you lack proper storage setup
• Check the wood’s appearance – well-seasoned wood has cracks in the ends and sounds hollow when pieces are knocked together
• Plan ahead for winter heating needs – order early in fall when selection is best and delivery scheduling is most flexible
