OUR PROCESS

Our firewood process begins with the forests near the Twin Ports. We procure logs from loggers who sustainably harvest wood from county, state, and federal lands. The carbon footprint is minimized as the trucks delivering the logs don’t have far to drive. Once the logs arrive at the wood yard we process them according to each order received. The logs are cut, split, and sent through a tumbler to decrease the amount of debris in each load of firewood delivered. Our tumbler is the only one being used in the region so you know you’re getting the cleanest firewood possible. After the tumbler, the firewood is dropped into a trailer. The firewood never touches the ground until we deliver it to your home or business.
