Beginner’s Guide to Firewood

Here at Comyford Contracting we offer several great products! For people new to firewood, it can be difficult to choose which is the best for you. Our premier woods for heating your home are Oak and Madrone, while Fir excels in outdoor environments (campfires). Fir can also be used as an economical option for indoor heat, but Oak is where the costumer finds the best bang for their buck. When burning Oak, the homeowner experiences a longer burn time then they would get with Fir, which means more heat per piece of wood. The longer burn time also reduces how frequently the costumer has to add wood to their stove. Similar to Oak, Madrone also has an extended burn time, which is why it is also a premier wood for heating your house. The most notable difference between the two is Madrone produces less ash than Oak, so it saves homeowners from having to clean out their fireplace one or two more times per season. Still can’t choose? Reach out to us, we would love to help, or maybe try a mixed order and see for yourself what you prefer!
