We are SOLD OUT of seasoned firewood!

Fully seasoned wood takes about 9 -10 months, depending on the species mix (ours has a large amount of oak typically so it takes the full 9 months). That means we won't have any more firewood available until next fall but you can order and take delivery now so you're ready.

We recommend calling Dom's Garden Center in Danbury at (203) 744-6755 - they may have some quality seasoned wood available.

About Barts Firewood

Well-seasoned hardwood firewood from barts tree serviceAll of our firewood is 14″ to 18″ in length, split and seasoned mixed hardwoods. I do sometimes have piles of shorter wood (less then 14″) available in smaller quantities as well.

This year I have maple, cherry, apple, white oak, black oak, red oak, chestnut oak, ash and a little black birch in the mix.

I am not the cheapest out there and that's for a good reason. We have the highest standards and quality, ensuring you get what you pay for.

Why Buy Firewood From Barts?

After running out of wood in years past and trying to subcontract and buy bulk wood from several other local sources, I went and inspected their wood and found that almost none of it was properly seasoned and the sizing was all over the map, not to mention there was poplar, cedar, pine, and sassafras mixed in almost all of them. I also received feedback from most of our new customers on how much larger my cords are than what was previously delivered by other folks. Not to mention all the horror stories of wet wood with a layer of dry on top!

So, with all this in mind, I can assure you that my wood is all 100% hardwoods that are seasoned properly and I specifically measure out a cord of wood then throw it in the truck and mark it so we consistently deliver full cords every time. At the end of the day, firewood is not much of a money maker for me but it is a great way to meet potential tree service clients so the last thing I want is to get a black eye from delivering subpar cord wood.

Firewood Prices - Winter of 2018/2019 :

  • $250 per cord delivered within 15 miles of Danbury CT (over 15 miles and I add a fee to cover fuel and time)
  • $150 per half cord delivered within 15 miles of Danbury CT (over 15 miles and I add a fee to cover fuel and time)
  • $220 per cord / customer pick up

Firewood Delivery

We deliver firewood year round and offer stacking for an additional fee of $40 per hr. per person. We can deliver two cords in one load with the new dump truck.

We also try to fulfill any smaller orders when possible since it makes me crazy to see people buying those bags of wood at the grocery store for so much money.

Firewood for BBQs

For you BBQ folks out there, we usually have oak, hickory, cherry, and apple in stock. So just give us a call and we can generally provide you with smaller amounts of wood for you to pick up.

Firewood Facts

  • A cord of wood measures 4 feet high by 4 feet wide by eight feet long (4′ x 4′ x 8′) and has a volume of 128 cubic feet.
  • A face cord or rick of wood is four feet high by eight feet long and is as wide as the individual firewood pieces, but averages 16 inches wide. A 16-inch wide face cord is equal to one-third of a full cord.
  • Ideal moisture content of seasoned firewood is 15%-20%.
  • The higher the moisture content of your wood, the less heat will be produced from it. It takes energy to convert the moisture to steam and burn it out of the wood (generally you will hear a hissing sound). This is energy that should be used in warming your house. So always ensure you are receiving dry, properly seasoned firewood. (See visual tips below)

Firewood tipsIndicators of Properly Seasoned Wood

  • Color - Wood should have a dull gray color
  • Bark – A sure sign that firewood is dry is bark that is falling off the wood
  • Checks – As wood dries, it will begin to split on the ends and display cracks
  • Touch – Fresh cut wood may feel wet

What’s the most efficient wood to burn?

The chart below shows the energy content per air dried full cord (1,000s of BTUs). You'll notice that harder woods, like elm, oak, and hickory have higher BTUs, meaning that they're more efficient at heating your home. You'll need less wood to get the same heating power as a larger quantity of softer wood (such as fir, spruce, or pine).

Tips for Buying Good Firewood

 

  • Ask friends and neighbors who burn wood for recommendations on reliable suppliers.
  • Shop around and select the dealer who seems most reliable and comes with the best recommendations.
  • Do not order wood by phone. Go to the storage area to inspect the wood and take a tape measure to check piece length and pile size.
  • Look for wood that is clean. Sand and mud on firewood makes it less desirable.
  • Either measure the piled wood before delivery or stack it (or have it stacked) at home before paying so you can measure it and confirm that you get the volume you pay for.
  • If possible, get the wood in spring and stack it in your own yard so you can control the seasoning process.
