Firewood

Never be left out in the cold. At Bark River Tree Service we always have firewood available!

Our firewood is available in Oak, Hickory, Ash and Cherry and is seasoned and ready to burn. It is important
to know what you are buying when ordering. Different woods have different qualities. Oak creates a lasting fire and splits easily. But oak may be expensive and other woods may work just as well. Some woods are less dense and have different splitting and coaling qualities.

So, what is a cord?

A cord is a measurement of wood that when neatly, yet loosely, stacked and rowed equals 128 cubic feet. This stack measures 4 feet tall by 4 feet wide by 8 feet long or its equivalent (which means stack it neatly any way you like as long as it equals 128 cubic feet).

The reason for loosely stacking is to prevent molding and promote the constant process of drying.

Firewood Bundles

Bundles are delivered and stacked (outside only). All bundles contain 100% hardwood and are well-seasoned and ready to burn. Minimum of 5 pieces of firewood per bundle and packaged with or without a carry handle. Our firewood bundles are sold in bulk quantities to commercial customers: supermarkets, convenience stores, campsites, apartments, etc. Our minimum order is 40 bundles. If your company is interested, please call our office for pricing.

Bundles are also available to our residential customers per request. Minimum quantity of 20 bundles required for delivery.

TIP FOR OPTIMAL FIREWOOD BURNING: The more moisture in your wood, the less heat you will get from it. It takes energy to burn the water out of wood (it may make a hissing sound). This is energy that should be used in warming your house. This is why it pays to get dry wood.

Some indicators of dry wood:

• Color - look for grayness
• Bark - a sure sign that firewood is dry is bark that is falling off the wood
• Check - as wood dries it will begin to split on the ends
• Touch - fresh cut wood may feel wet on the end
