Eastern Shore Forest Products - Firewood

An economical ready-to-burn choice for occasional recreational firewood users.

Seasoned firewood typically refers to wood that has been air dried for at least a year or until an external moisture content of 20% is reached. Our seasoned firewood is dried in our kilns to a moisture content of 20% or less, allowing us to provide a much more consistent and economical ready-to-burn firewood.

While not as dry as kiln-dried firewood, seasoned wood can be a satisfactory choice for occasional recreational use in backyard fire pits and home fireplaces.

Seasoned wood is an industry term that is very loosely interpreted by many firewood producers. According to experts, Seasoned wood should have a moisture content of 20% or less, but many producers selling firewood as “seasoned” do not meet the 20% moisture standard. It takes approximately 9-12 months for firewood to sit outdoors and properly season on the Eastern Shore, with end results varying significantly due to rainfall, stack density, and other uncontrolled factors.

With the use of our kilns, we are able to efficiently produce seasoned wood at a consistent 20% moisture content in a much faster timeframe than traditional seasoning.

This firewood is mainly a mix of oak and maple with some other hardwoods occasionally mixed in.
