Location & Directions

What to Expect When You Visit

When you visit a quality firewood supplier like Firewood of Maine, you’ll typically find neatly stacked cords of split wood organized by species and seasoning time. The wood should have a grayish color with visible cracks in the end grain, and when you knock two pieces together, they should make a sharp crack rather than a dull thud – signs of proper seasoning.

Professional suppliers will explain the differences between species, help you calculate how much wood you need for the season, and often offer delivery and stacking services. You should expect honest measurements (a full cord is 4x4x8 feet), clear pricing, and wood that’s been seasoned at least 6-12 months depending on the species.

Products & Materials

Firewood of Maine offers premium seasoned hardwoods including oak, maple, birch, and ash – all excellent choices for Maine’s heating season. Oak provides long, steady burns with high BTU output, while maple ignites easily and produces consistent heat. Birch offers the benefit of burning even when slightly green, making it perfect for shoulder seasons.

They provide wood in full cord, half-cord, and face cord quantities, with all wood split to appropriate sizes for most wood stoves and fireplaces. Kindling bundles are available for easy fire starting, and they can accommodate special requests for specific species or custom split sizes for unique heating systems.

All firewood is seasoned naturally in Maine’s climate, taking advantage of the state’s dry summers and cold winters to achieve optimal moisture content below 20%. This proper seasoning process ensures clean burning, maximum heat output, and minimal smoke production.
