Location & Directions

What to Expect When You Visit

Visiting Cremium’s Spring Street location, you’ll find neatly stacked rows of split firewood organized by species, with clear labeling showing seasoning dates and BTU ratings. The staff can explain the differences between oak’s long burn time versus maple’s quick heat, and they’ll help you calculate how much wood you need based on your fireplace size and usage patterns.

Expect to see, feel, and even hear the quality – properly seasoned wood will have visible cracks in the end grain, feel lighter than green wood, and make a sharp crack when two pieces are knocked together. The team at Cremium takes pride in showing customers these quality indicators and explaining proper storage techniques to maintain the wood’s condition.

Products & Materials
