Firewood You Can Trust
We use professional moisture testing to guarantee every delivery burns clean and hot—not the "looks dry to me" guesswork you get elsewhere.
Why Moisture Content Matters
The difference between frustrating fires and cozy warmth comes down to one number
Industry standard that most suppliers ignore
🚫 Wet Wood Problems
- Difficult to ignite and keep burning
- Produces excessive smoke
- Minimal heat output
- Creates dangerous creosote buildup
- Wastes your money on water weight
✓ Properly Seasoned Wood
- Ignites easily and burns steadily
- Clean, minimal smoke
- Maximum heat output
- Safer for your chimney
- True value for your investment
Professional Testing Equipment
We don't guess about quality—we measure it with the same tools lumber mills use
Lignomat Moisture Meter
Professional-grade digital measurement accurate to 0.1%. The same equipment used by lumber mills and wood processors nationwide.
Slide Hammer Probe
Deep-reading probe that measures moisture at the wood's core—not just the surface that dries first. Shows the true moisture level throughout.
Batch Verification
Every batch tested before delivery. We verify multiple pieces to ensure consistent quality across your entire order.
How Our Testing Works
Four steps that ensure you get genuinely seasoned firewood
Deep Penetration
The slide hammer drives insulated pins deep into the wood's core—not just the surface that dries first.
Core Reading
The meter measures electrical resistance between the pins, calculating true moisture content at the center where it matters.
Accurate Results
You get the true moisture content of the entire piece, not a superficial reading that can be misleading.
Documented Proof
We record readings and can provide verification on request. Our reputation depends on these numbers.
