Stack of Split Logs

At Deeke’s, we specialize in seasoned hardwoods.

Firewood is classified into two different categories—hardwoods and softwoods. Hardwoods are the superior type of firewood. They come from leaf-shedding trees that lose their leaves in the fall, while softwoods keep their leaves year-round. Hardwoods also tend to be denser than softwoods because they are slower growing.

  • Hardwood burns longer and gives off more heat than softwoods, which means you have to add fewer logs to keep a fire going and still get constant heat output.
  • Seasoned firewood will ignite and burn quickly because it’s dry. Fresh wood is hard to start and light due to the wood’s moisture from tree sap and water.
  • Safety is one of the biggest reasons to choose hardwood over softwood. Hardwood fires burn cleaner, produce less smoke, and create fewer sparks than softwoods.
  • Custom orders of hickory and fruitwoods available at a premium. Contact us to inquire.
