Products & Materials

Knockout Firewood specializes in premium hardwood species native to East Tennessee, including oak, hickory, maple, and cherry. Their oak firewood provides excellent heat output and long burn times, making it ideal for heating applications, while hickory offers intense heat and distinctive flavor perfect for smoking and cooking. Maple burns cleanly with steady heat, and cherry provides moderate heat with pleasant aroma for indoor fireplaces.

All firewood is available in standard cord and face cord quantities, with split logs cut to 16-inch, 18-inch, or custom lengths upon request. They also stock kindling bundles and fatwood fire starters to help get fires started quickly.

• Consider mixing species: oak for long burns, hickory for high heat, and cherry for pleasant aroma
• Order delivery during off-peak seasons (spring/summer) for better availability and pricing
• Inspect split logs for proper seasoning – look for cracks in the ends and a hollow sound when pieces are knocked together
