Location & Directions

What to Expect When You Visit

Visiting D & M Firewood typically means driving to their rural Smiths Creek location where seasoned wood is stacked in organized piles by species and size. You’ll see the difference immediately – properly seasoned wood has that distinctive gray, weathered look with visible cracks on the ends, and you’ll hear the hollow sound when pieces knock together rather than the dull thud of green wood.

The staff can explain seasoning times for different species and help you calculate how much wood you’ll need based on your heating setup or camping plans. Many customers appreciate being able to see exactly what they’re buying before delivery, and you can often arrange for immediate pickup of smaller quantities while scheduling delivery for full cord orders.

Products & Materials

D & M Firewood specializes in premium hardwood species that provide excellent heat output and burn characteristics. Their oak inventory includes both red and white oak varieties, prized for long burn times and consistent heat. Hickory offers the highest BTU content and adds subtle flavor for cooking applications, while maple provides clean burning with minimal smoke production.

Cherry wood serves dual purposes – excellent for heating with its moderate BTU output and highly sought after for smoking meats and wood-fired cooking. All wood is split to optimal sizes for easy handling and stacking, typically ranging from 14-18 inch lengths to fit most residential fireplaces and wood stoves.

Beyond standard firewood, they offer kindling bundles, specialty cooking woods, and various cord measurements from face cords for occasional use to full cords for primary heating customers. Delivery service includes proper stacking, and they can accommodate special requests for specific log sizes or wood species based on your heating system requirements.

Who Shops Here

D & M Firewood’s customer base includes homeowners who heat primarily or supplementally with wood stoves, families who enjoy regular fireplace use during Michigan’s long winters, and outdoor enthusiasts who camp frequently at nearby state parks and lakes. Restaurant owners operating wood-fired pizza ovens and serious barbecue enthusiasts also rely on their specialty cooking woods, while seasonal residents preparing lake cottages for winter heating form another core customer segment.

Tips for First-Time Buyers

• Arrange for delivery well before peak season to ensure availability of preferred wood species
