Pick the right wood for how you burn.

Softwoods like pine light fast and burn hot but quick. Hardwoods like oak, ash and maple burn longer and leave better coals.

How each type burns

Here's a simple comparison of the wood we sell.

  • Pine ($260/cord): lights easily, burns hot and fast. Great for fire pits, kindling and shoulder seasons.
  • Mixed ($325/cord): a blend of soft and hard woods. Good all-around choice.
  • Regional hardwood ($395/cord): longer burn and better coals than pine.
  • Fine hardwood, ash and maple ($450/cord): long, steady heat for wood stoves.
  • Oak (from $250/quarter cord): dense and slow burning; long-lasting heat.

Burn dry wood

Dry wood burns hotter and cleaner. Stack firewood off the ground, bark up, with the top covered and the sides open to air.
