We Sell Firewood

We cut, split, sort and stack the firewood into predetermined sized pallet crates to ensure accurate cubic cord measuring. The crates of firewood are then set aside to dry. The drying process causes wood to shrink slightly. We also offer kiln dried firewood.

A stacked cubic cord of firewood is defined as a pile of wood that measures 48 inches high x 48 inches deep x 96 inches long (128 cu ft).

A tossed cubic cord of firewood is defined as a pile of wood that measures 48 inches high x 48 inches deep x 135 inches long (180 cu ft).

Hardwood Firewood, splits and rounds

We split, stack, measure and set out in the field to air dry on crated pallets that we build. For the 2020/2021 season our hardwood firewood will be mostly maple with a mix of birch. Wood that is smaller that 4 inches across are usually left round (not split).

Contact us for your specific sizing requirements.

Check the chart at the bottom of the page that shows BTU ratings for many of the wood species available in Nova Scotia.

Drive thru firewood

Stop in and we can load up firewood stacked on pallets or you can take the wood loose in your vehicle or trailer.

Pallet crates are $10.00 each and a refund of $5 per pallet crate is provided upon return of the pallet. A 6-1/2 ft truck bed will fit two pallets. If your truck has one of those aluminum tool boxes, you will only be able to fit 32 cu ft (one pallet). A short bed will not stack in a 1/2 cord unless you have side boards installed to raise the height of the truck bed.

Some folks like this method of yard pick up because they don’t have the storage space to obtain a full winter’s wood. And if you are on a budget, buying your wood as you need is helpful.

For campground and seasonal cottages, we can deliver to your location whatever amount you require. We can even offload and re-stack the wood for a small fee.
