Products & Materials

Premier Firewood Company specializes in premium hardwoods including seasoned oak (highest BTU output for long burns), hickory (intense heat perfect for heating), maple (consistent burning with good heat), and aromatic cherry (ideal for cooking and pleasant fragrance). All wood is properly seasoned for 12-18 months to achieve optimal 15-20% moisture content.

They offer flexible purchasing options including full cords (128 cubic feet), face cords (one-third of a full cord), and convenient bundles for camping or occasional use. Custom cutting services accommodate specific fireplace dimensions, while premium kindling and fire-starting supplies ensure easy ignition. Their split logs are uniformly sized for consistent stacking and burning.

Seasonal specialties include cooking woods for restaurants and BBQ enthusiasts, plus bulk delivery services for large properties or commercial customers. Quality control measures include moisture testing and proper storage techniques that preserve wood integrity from seasoning through delivery.

Tips for First-Time Buyers

• Call ahead to check species availability, especially during peak fall and winter seasons when popular varieties like oak sell quickly
• Ask about moisture content – properly seasoned wood should test below 20% moisture for optimal burning and minimal creosote buildup
• Inquire about delivery scheduling during busy periods, as routes may book up weeks in advance during cold snaps
• Bring measurements of your storage area to ensure proper quantity ordering – a face cord typically measures 4x8x16 inches
• Consider mixing species for different purposes: oak for overnight burns, hickory for maximum heat, cherry for pleasant aroma
• Ask about off-season pricing – ordering firewood in spring or summer often provides significant savings over peak winter rates
