The owner can explain the differences between their hardwood options, help calculate how much wood you’ll need for the season, and arrange delivery with stacking services.

Products & Materials

Nicholls’ Firewood Service specializes in premium Michigan hardwoods including oak, maple, hickory, and cherry, each offering distinct burning characteristics and BTU ratings. Oak provides long-lasting coals perfect for overnight heating, while maple offers clean-burning flames ideal for fireplaces. Hickory delivers exceptional heat output for wood stoves, and cherry adds pleasant aroma for recreational fires.

All firewood is available in standard 16-inch split lengths, with full cords (128 cubic feet) and face cords (one-third cord) to meet different customer needs. They also stock kindling bundles and smaller split pieces for fire starting, plus larger unsplit rounds for customers with their own splitting equipment.

Every piece is seasoned for 12-18 months to achieve optimal moisture content below 20%, ensuring clean combustion, maximum heat output, and minimal creosote buildup in chimneys and wood stoves.

Serving the Lennon, Michigan Area

Tips for First-Time Buyers

• Ask to see a freshly split piece to check moisture content – properly seasoned wood will have visible cracks and feel lighter than green wood
• Inquire about species selection based on your heating needs – oak for long burns, maple for clean flames, hickory for maximum BTU output
• Schedule delivery and stacking services in advance during peak season from September through November
• Calculate your needs based on heating area and usage – typically 3-5 full cords for primary wood heating per season
• Ask about bulk pricing for multiple cord orders and early season discounts before peak demand
• Confirm delivery area coverage and any additional fees for stacking or specific placement requirements
