Firewood Delivery: What to Expect and How to Prepare

Firewood delivery is a convenient solution for staying warm in the colder months, but a little preparation can ensure a seamless process. Understanding the service, preparing your space, and proper wood storage can save time and effort.

The Delivery Process

When ordering firewood, consider whether you prefer seasoned or kiln-dried wood. Seasoned wood is budget-friendly and efficient but requires more drying time, while kiln-dried wood burns cleaner and hotter. Ensure your order specifies wood type, quantity (usually measured in cords), and any additional stacking services offered.

Preparing for a Smooth Delivery

1. Plan the Location: Identify a dry and accessible spot close to your home. Keep it elevated to avoid contact with ground moisture.
2. Clear the Path: Remove any obstacles along the delivery route to save time and prevent complications.
3. Set Up Proper Storage: Lay down pallets or create a raised platform to keep your firewood off the ground. Cover it loosely with a tarp to allow airflow while keeping out rain and snow.

Storing and Maintaining Your Firewood

Proper stacking is key to longevity. Neatly stack your wood with gaps for ventilation. Avoid covering the entire pile too tightly, as trapped moisture can lead to rot. This setup ensures your firewood is ready to use throughout the season.
