Location & Directions

What to Expect When You Visit

Visiting Hardwood Firewood Co means seeing properly stacked, well-organized wood piles separated by species and seasoning time. You’ll notice the difference immediately – seasoned hardwood sounds hollow when struck and shows visible cracks on the ends, indicating the moisture has been properly dried out over many months.

Staff can explain BTU differences between species, help calculate how much wood you’ll need for the season, and arrange delivery if you’re purchasing full cords. Expect to see, touch, and sometimes even smell the difference between their oak, hickory, and fruitwoods before making your selection.

Products & Materials

Hardwood Firewood Co offers premium oak and hickory as their primary hardwoods, prized for their high BTU output and long burn times. Oak provides excellent overnight burning for wood stoves, while hickory adds that distinctive smoky flavor perfect for cooking and outdoor fire pits. Cherry and maple are also available seasonally for customers wanting fruitwood flavors.

Wood is available in full cords (4x4x8 feet), face cords, and smaller bundles for weekend campers or occasional use. All firewood is split to optimal sizes for home fireplaces and wood stoves, with kindling bundles available to ensure easy fire starting every time.

The seasoning process extends 12-18 months minimum, bringing moisture content below 20% for efficient burning. This proper seasoning eliminates the frustration of smoky, hard-to-light fires common with green or inadequately dried wood from other sources.

Who Shops Here

Customers include rural homeowners heating with wood stoves, local restaurants operating wood-fired pizza ovens, camping enthusiasts stocking up for weekend trips to nearby state parks, and families wanting authentic wood-burning fireplace experiences during Louisiana’s cooler months when outdoor living and cozy indoor fires become part of the seasonal lifestyle.

Tips for First-Time Buyers

• Learn the BTU differences: oak for long burns, hickory for flavor, cherry for aromatic fires
• Understand cord measurements – a full cord is 4x4x8 feet, while face cords are much smaller
