Serving the Kenner, Louisiana Area

Kenner’s position near Lake Pontchartrain and proximity to camping areas creates steady demand for quality firewood, while the city’s established neighborhoods include many homes with fireplaces and wood stoves. The area’s restaurant scene, particularly establishments specializing in authentic wood-fired cooking, relies on local suppliers who understand the specific wood species needed for consistent culinary results throughout the year.

Tips for First-Time Buyers

• Check that firewood sounds hollow when knocked together – this indicates proper seasoning and low moisture content
• Ask about BTU ratings for different species; oak and hickory provide the most heat per cord for heating applications
• Calculate your needs: a face cord typically provides 6-8 fires for average home fireplaces
• Inspect wood for signs of insects or rot, especially if you plan to store it near your home
• Consider delivery for full cords – seasoned hardwood is heavy and delivery often includes stacking services
• Buy early in the season for best selection and to allow proper storage before you need it
