All our fire wood is cut and split to an average length of 16"+/- .  There will be some pieces mixed in that are a little longer or shorter, but the majority are 16" pieces.  

Our Birch is processed in the Fall/Winter. This makes for a vastly superior firewood product, as the wood does not have to shed excess moisture, as from Springtime/Summer harvested trees.

Please Note: The firewood was processed last winter, not 3 days ago, a couple weeks ago, or several months ago, that's why the website has pictures of the piles with snow on them. It is seasoned in a pile, exposed to the sun and up sloping breezes that happen all Spring and Summer. It is not stacked and covered, nor kiln dried. It is also loaded with machinery, and because of this, will have pieces that have extra moisture content in the load.  This is also why we put extra in each and every load, to make up for those higher moisture pieces.  

Most suppliers say their firewood is "seasoned", which means the trees have been down 6 months to a year or so.  They then cut and split it when your order is placed.  That is not "seasoned".  Birch will not start seasoning until it's processed into firewood, i.e. cut and split.   Our firewood is processed, cut, and split over the previous winter, and then left to season in the sun and the wind, until loading into the truck upon your order, which clearly makes for a superior product than any of our competitors.

We do our best to weed out the higher moisture pieces when sifting through the pile in the back of the truck, and setting up the load.  Also, we can do nothing about the weather, so if it's raining or snowing while we are loading the firewood, it will have a little more moisture, and be a little dirtier than on a dry day.

Rain/Frost/Snow will always throw off the moisture content, so if you're using a moisture meter to check, please bring the firewood inside for 24 hrs. to adjust to room temperature(70*F), as well as dry out any of that external moisture.  This is the only way to get an accurate reading.  

Once delivered, the firewood should be stacked, covered, and provided with ample air flow.  This will ensure the firewood pieces with higher moisture content to finish seasoning rather quickly. 

As you can see in the following picture, we load the firewood with a compact track loader, equipped with a tumbler.  The tumbler is 4 feet in diameter, and 4 feet long and rotates off the hydraulics in the cab.  This enables us to "tumble" all the firewood before loading it into the back of the truck, thereby eliminating most of the chips/splinters/dirt/etc., resulting in a much cleaner firewood product.

We continue to load until the firewood is "peaked" significantly above the center of the back of the truck for whichever cordage amount has been ordered..  The truck is then moved to more level ground, where we use a ladder on both sides to fill in all the gaps and corners, while still leaving it slightly higher than the marker for the amount of firewood that has been ordered.

We also make sure to pick out "higher moisture" pieces from the load while doing that, to enable the best quality, seasoned firewood available.  There will still be some pieces mixed in that have higher moisture content(>20%), but once stacked and covered, will lose the rest of that "extra" moisture, in a short amount of time.

The box on the truck is set @ 360 cubic feet, which is 2 cords.  180 cubic feet "thrown/loaded" will stack out to one cord(4X4X8=128 cubic feet).  So whether your delivery is 1 or 2 cords of firewood, that's why we always leave it a little higher.  This is to ensure you have the quantity you ordered at a minimum, and again, to make up for any higher moisture pieces in the load.

After loading, the truck is then parked in our heated shop for the night.  Deliveries are made in the morning, so the firewood is dry, with no snow or rain on the load when it leaves here.
