Location & Directions

What to Expect When You Visit

Visiting Friendly Firewood means seeing neatly stacked rows of split hardwood organized by species and seasoning stage. You’ll notice the difference in properly seasoned wood – it sounds hollow when pieces knock together, shows checking cracks on the ends, and feels lighter than green wood due to reduced moisture content.

The staff can explain BTU differences between oak, hickory, and maple, help calculate how much wood you’ll need for the season, and arrange delivery schedules that work with your needs. Many customers appreciate being able to see and select their wood rather than wondering what quality they’ll receive from distant suppliers.

Products & Materials

Friendly Firewood stocks premium hardwood species including oak, hickory, maple, and cherry, all properly seasoned to 15-20% moisture content for optimal burning. Oak provides long burn times and excellent heat output, while hickory offers the highest BTU content and distinctive aroma perfect for cooking applications.

Wood is available by the full cord, face cord, or convenient bundles for occasional use. All split logs are cut to standard fireplace lengths, with kindling and smaller pieces available for easy fire starting. The seasoning process ensures each piece burns cleanly with minimal smoke production.

For restaurants and commercial customers, we maintain consistent inventory of cooking woods and can accommodate larger volume orders. Delivery service covers Fair Lawn and surrounding areas, with options for stacking services to keep your wood properly stored and ready for use throughout the heating season.
