Products & Materials

Red’s Firewood specializes in premium hardwood species ideal for East Texas burning conditions. Their oak selection includes red oak and post oak, prized for long burn times and excellent heat output, while hickory provides intense heat perfect for wood-fired cooking and smoking. They also carry maple and cherry wood, which burn cleaner and produce less smoke, making them excellent for indoor fireplace use.

All firewood is available in multiple formats: full cords (128 cubic feet), face cords (one-third of a full cord), and smaller bundles for camping or occasional use. Their split logs are cut to standard 16-18 inch lengths to fit most fireplaces and wood stoves, with proper seasoning time of 6-12 months depending on species.

Beyond traditional firewood, they stock kindling bundles, fatwood fire starters, and compressed wood pellets. For restaurants and serious outdoor cooks, they offer specialty cooking woods including apple, pecan, and mesquite that impart distinctive flavors to grilled and smoked foods.

Serving the Crandall, Texas Area

Crandall’s location in East Texas places it in prime firewood country, surrounded by abundant oak and hickory forests that provide excellent burning wood.

Local BBQ culture and the popularity of outdoor cooking further support businesses like Red’s Firewood that understand regional preferences for specific wood species.

Tips for First-Time Buyers

• Ask about seasoning time – properly dried oak should show visible cracks and feel lighter than green wood
• Calculate your needs: one full cord typically heats an average home for 6-8 weeks of regular use
• Schedule delivery during dry weather when possible to keep your wood pile moisture-free
• Request a mix of species – oak for overnight burns, hickory for quick heat, and softer woods for kindling
• Inspect wood for excessive bark, which can indicate improper splitting or inadequate drying time
• Ask about bulk pricing if you’re buying multiple cords for the entire heating season
