FIREWOOD FOR SALE
Here is some basic information about firewood.
Cord sizes are regulated and must comply with industry standards. The best way to be sure you are getting what you are paying for is to measure your firewood, which should be stacked neatly.
Full
cord equals 4 x 4 x 8 = 128 cu ft
½ cord equals 4 x 4 x 4 = 64 cu ft
Ό cord equals 4 x 4 x 2 = 32 cu ft
The best Firewood is seasoned, split & ready to burn. Wood cut lengths range from approximately 16 to 18 inches in length and 2 to 4 inches in diameter. Be sure to get your Firewood early because as the season progresses and the winter's chill arrives, seasoned wood becomes hard to come by.
We have a large variety of hardwoods like oak, cherry, gum, pear, etc. Firewood is a great way to heat your home, or have a camp fire, or create that special romantic evening for your loved one. Kids love a warm fire as well!
We get requests for wood for smokers and Barbeque BBQ. If you are a wood smoker and interested in smoking wood, please call us for availability 770-682-8733. Here are examples of wood that are GREAT for smoking: apple wood, hickory wood, cherry wood, maple wood, pecan wood, plum wood. Any wood that we have can be chipped or sold as split wood.
Chips are small pieces of wood that are great for quick, small bursts of smoke. Chips, even soaked in water will burn up fast, create smoke and then disappear. If you are not smoking for a very long period of time or if you only want a small amount of smoke flavor then go with chips. Also make sure you have read the instructions for your smoker. Some electric and gas smokers are designed to only handle wood chips.
Chunks or split wood on the other had are large pieces of hardwood. Usually these pieces are best for creating smoke over a longer period of time. If you are smoking for a while then its best to use bigger wood. Youll get more smoke and you will get it over a longer period of time without having to run out and add more every 30 minutes
We found the following information on the internet and hope it helps when choosing the right wood to use in your smoker or BBQ.
Reference guide for Woods used to Smoke Food
ACACIA - these trees are in the same family as mesquite. When burned in a
smoker, acacia has a flavor similar to mesquite but not quite as heavy. Is a
very hot burning wood.
ALDER - Very delicate with a hint of sweetness. Good with fish, pork, poultry,
and light-meat game birds.
ALMOND - A sweet smoke flavor, light ash. Good with all meats.
APPLE - Very mild with a subtle fruity flavor, slightly sweet. Good with poultry
(turns skin dark brown) and pork.
ASH - Fast burner, light but distinctive flavor. Good with fish and red meats.
BIRCH - Medium-hard wood with a flavor similar to maple. Good with pork and
poultry.
CHERRY - Mild and fruity. Good with poultry, pork and beef. Some List members
say the cherry wood is the best wood for smoking. Wood from chokecherry trees
may produce a bitter flavor.
COTTONWOOD - It is a softer wood than alder and very subtle in flavor. Use it
for fuel but use some chunks of other woods (hickory, oak, pecan) for more
flavor. Don't use green cottonwood for smoking.
