Fairwood Firewood is exceptional in many ways. We offer premium firewood suitable for indoor and outdoor fires, and we have a process that ensures our customers receive a product of the highest quality. It all boils down to superior processing using specialized machinery that produces the perfect results. This is where the magic happens. Our firewood processor automates the process and is designed for high-performance and efficient firewood processing. The handling of each log from the moment it is cut down to its delivery to your doorstep is meticulous.

State-of-the-Art Posch Firewood Processor

We use a Posch Firewood Processor, the only one in Ontario. This cutting-edge machinery is top-of-the-line in firewood processing and has been a game-changer for firewood production, handling everything from cutting to bagging. It offers maximum production, feeds logs automatically, and saws each one to the desired thickness using a WIDIA saw blade or the harvester chainsaw depending on the desired log thickness. This specialized machine offers multiple splitting systems: standard, multi, and vario.

  • Standard: Contains a plug-on splitting knife that produces up to eight billets per cycle.
  • Multi: A hydraulically adjustable splitting knife producing 18 billets per cycle.
  • Vario: X-shaped splitting knife produces various pieces with 5 to 15 cm edge lengths.

Our Seasoned Firewood Process

There is a reason why our firewood lasts longer, burns hotter, and ignites more easily. We take measures to ensure that our firewood has the right amount of moisture for optimal burning. The process of achieving this is a critical part of firewood seasoning. We don’t rush the process and season our firewood by air drying it for two years on a skid. Firewood seasoning rids the wood of excess moisture, leaving behind the right amount of moisture for the perfect fire that allows you to enjoy a steady burn that provides warmth and comfort.

1

Receiving Tree Logs

The process begins by receiving sustainably sourced high-quality wood from the Bancroft and Muskoka forests. The logs are delivered and prepared for firewood processing.

2

Cut

Our Posch Firewood Processor cuts each log based on the diameter of the log.

3

Split

Log splitting is essential in ensuring that the firewood is properly seasoned, easier to store and work with, and burns more efficiently.

4

Kindling separation

This separates small pieces that are easily combustible and needed to ignite the fire from the rest of the firewood.

5

Bagging

Kindling can take up to 10% of bagged firewood weight. By removing the kindling, we deliver 10% more firewood than our competitors who do not separate the two.

6

Drying

We air-dry firewood for two years and place it on the skids to ensure it dries properly, does not develop mould, and contains no more than 15-20% moisture.

7

Moisture meter tests

We use a moisture meter to test for optimal moisture levels.

    What Is a Face Cord of Wood?

    A face cord of wood is a term used to describe a specific measurement of a stack of wood. It is a common measurement used for firewood, but it can also refer to other kinds of wood, such as lumber. Different types of wood in a face cord can alter the overall volume as the size and shape of the wood changes. However, the face cord dimensions remain the same.

    How Big Is a Cord of Wood?

    A face cord of wood measures 4 feet high by 8 feet long. The depth of a face cord varies between 12 to 18 inches. At Fairwood Firewood, our face cord firewood is 4’ x 8’ x 14”. The overall volume is about 37.3 cubic feet.

    Face Cord vs. Full Cord

    A full cord, like a face cord, is another measurement used for a stack of wood. Here are the differences between the two:

    • Face Cord – A face cord of wood is one-third the size of a full cord. It supplies a sufficient amount of firewood for residential or commercial use. This includes homes, cottages, restaurants, hotels, and resorts.
    • Full Cord – A full cord of wood contains three rows of stacked wood, each measuring 4 feet high by 8 feet long and between 12 and 18 inches deep. The total depth of a full cord ranges from 36” to 54”. At Fairwood Firewood, our full cords measure 4’ x 8’ x 42”.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    At Fairwood Firewood, a face cord of firewood costs $200 per skid. After taxes, delivery expenses, and possible discounts, the final cost can vary. Delivery costs are based on distance. We deliver all throughout southern Ontario, including Toronto, Muskoka, Kawartha Lakes, and Oshawa.

    A full cord of firewood at Fairwood Firewood costs $600 per 3 skids. However, the final cost can vary depending on promotions, shipping costs, and taxes.

    One full cord contains about 3 face cords. While the height and length of a full cord remain the same as one face cord, the depth changes from 14” to 42”.

    On average, a face cord of firewood lasts between 3 and 4 weeks. However, this varies depending on the amount of firewood you use at once, how often you use it, and what you use the firewood for. In contrast, a full cord of firewood may last 8 to 12 weeks.

    Yes, a face cord typically fits in the back of a pickup truck. The average truck bed is between 6.5 and 8 feet long and a face cord is 8 feet long. If your truck is under 8 feet long, you’ll need to carefully re-stack the wood to make it fit without compromising the near view window.

    It’s called a face cord because it measures the same height and length as a full cord but has a shorter depth measurement. As one face cord equals 1/3 or a full cord, it’s the “face” of the cord.

    What is a Full Cord of Firewood?

    A full cord of firewood is a standard volume measurement for stacked wood. One full cord equals approximately 128 stacked cubic feet. At Fairwood Firewood, we supply a full cord across three skids of seasoned, 14-inch split hardwood.

    The weight varies by wood species and moisture content, but a seasoned hardwood full cord typically weighs between 3,000 and 5,000 lb. This gives you a substantial supply for regular fires, cottage use, or stocking up for the season.

    How Much Does a Full Cord of Firewood Cost in Ontario? 

    The price of a full cord of firewood in Ontario depends on the hardwood mix, seasoning and drying time, log length, whether the wood is supplied loose or organized on skids, and delivery distance.

    As a general guide, seasoned mixed hardwood costs around $500 to $600 per full cord before delivery and HST.

    Face Cord vs. Full Cord

    A face cord and a full cord both measure 4 feet high by 8 feet long, but they contain different amounts of firewood because of the stack depth.

    At Fairwood Firewood, one face cord is supplied on a single skid of 14-inch split hardwood. A full cord includes three skids – equivalent to about three face cords – making it a better choice for frequent fires, cottage use, wood stoves, or seasonal supply.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How long a cord lasts depends on your home size, insulation, fireplace or stove efficiency, and how often you burn it. A full cord may last 8 to 12 weeks of regular use, but it can last a year or longer when used only occasionally for evening fires, weekend cottage stays, or outdoor fire pits. You may burn through it even sooner if your home or cottage primarily relies on a wood-burning heating system.

    Full cord delivery costs vary by location. We calculate the delivery fee based on your address, and you’ll see the exact amount during checkout. We deliver throughout Southern Ontario, including Toronto, the GTA, Cottage Country, and surrounding areas.

    Yes. Fairwood Firewood supplies seasoned hardwood (maple, oak, beach, and birch) that has been dried to make it easier to light, produce less smoke, and provide more usable heat than wood with a higher moisture content.

    Store your firewood outdoors in a dry, well-ventilated area, raised off the ground and protected from rain or snow above. Keep the sides open for airflow, and avoid tightly covering the entire stack with a tarp.
