Frequently Asked Questions
What types of firewood do you carry?
We carry both seasoned and kiln-dried hardwood firewood, as well as specialty cooking and BBQ woods. View our full selection here.
How far in advance should I order?
During peak season (October–February), we recommend ordering at least a few days ahead to ensure availability. In the off-season, same-day or next-day pickup is often possible.
Do I need a truck to pick up firewood?
For larger quantities (half cord or more), an SUV, truck, or trailer is recommended. For bundles or smaller amounts, most vehicles can handle it just fine.
Is your firewood ready to burn?
Yes! Our seasoned firewood is properly dried and ready to burn. Our kiln-dried firewood is guaranteed to be below 20% moisture content — the gold standard for clean, efficient burning.
Do you serve areas outside of Richmond?
Our pickup locations are in the greater Richmond metro area and King William County. If you're unsure whether we serve your area, feel free to reach out — we're happy to help.
