Douglas Fir Firewood Calgary: Kiln Dried Larch Blend
Premium Softwood That Will Amplify Your Burning Experience
KILN DRIED BC LARCH/DOUGLAS FIR
This is the Douglas fir firewood Calgary homeowners choose when they want strong winter heat without paying premium hardwood prices. Our kiln dried Douglas fir and larch blend sits between cheaper softwoods that burn quickly and denser hardwoods that cost more. It puts out heat numbers close to birch, lights easily, and offers a price that makes sense for regular winter burning. If you want wood that fills the firebox with real heat without the hardwood markup, this is the blend to consider.
This kiln dried fir firewood blend is sourced from British Columbia and combines western larch, also called tamarack in some regions, with Douglas fir. Both species grow dense and heavy compared to other softwoods like spruce or lodgepole pine, which is exactly why they burn so well. For customers comparing larch firewood Calgary options with Douglas fir, this blend provides the performance of both species in one order.
Every cord we sell is kiln dried, not just seasoned outdoors and hoped for the best. Kiln drying pulls the internal moisture down below 20 percent and kills any mold, insects, or fungus living in the wood. That means it lights on the first try, burns clean, and is ready to load into your stove or fire pit the day it arrives. No waiting six months for it to season in your yard.

Burn Characteristics
Here is what to expect from the Douglas fir firewood Calgary customers use for regular heating:
- Douglas fir BTU: roughly 26 to 27 million BTU per cord, which is high for any softwood and close to several hardwoods
- Western larch BTU: roughly 21 to 24 million BTU per cord, also well above the softwood average
- High heat output: both species run hot, so a smaller load does more work
- Long burn time: the density means logs hold their shape and burn down slowly instead of flashing off
- Low smoke: dry, resin sap wood produces a cleaner flame with less haze
- Minimal popping and crackle: the kiln dried, low moisture content keeps spitting and snapping to a minimum
- Strong coals: both woods build a solid coal bed that holds heat for radiant warmth and easy reloading
- Low creosote: because the moisture is already gone, you get far less creosote buildup in your chimney than with green or poorly seasoned wood
- Moisture content: kiln dried to under 20 percent and ready to burn on delivery
Best uses
This fir firewood Calgary customers order is built for heating. It performs well in an indoor wood stove or fireplace when you want steady, lasting warmth through a cold Calgary night. The long burn time and strong coal bed mean fewer trips to reload and more consistent heat in the room.
It also works great in an outdoor fire pit. You get a bright, warm fire with a pleasant evergreen aroma and very little spitting, so you can sit close without dodging embers.
One thing to be clear about: this is not a cooking wood. The natural evergreen resins give off a flavor that does not suit smoking meat or food. If you are running a commercial smoker or doing low and slow barbecue, reach for a hardwood instead. For pure heat, though, Douglas fir and larch are hard to beat at this price.
The takeaway is simple. Pine is cheap but burns fast and cool. Birch is excellent but costs more. Douglas fir and larch give you heat output in the same range as birch at a friendlier price, which makes this blend the high performance middle option for people who burn a lot of wood through the season.

FIREWOOD QUESTIONS, STACKED AND ANSWERED
Have a question? We have answers. Find quick solutions to common questions below. If you don’t see yours listed, our friendly team is always here to help.
Is Douglas fir good firewood?
Yes. The Douglas fir firewood Calgary customers receive from Timber Ridge puts out roughly 26 to 27 million BTU per cord, lights easily, burns long, and leaves strong coals. We sell it kiln dried so it arrives ready to burn.
Can I use Douglas fir and larch in an indoor wood stove?
Absolutely. This blend is a great wood stove and fireplace fuel. The high heat, long burn time, and low creosote make it well suited for indoor heating. Because it is kiln dried under 20 percent moisture, it burns clean with minimal buildup in your chimney.
How long does it take split Douglas fir firewood to dry?
Split Douglas fir usually needs about 4 to 6 months of warm summer weather to season down below 20 percent moisture on its own. The good news is you do not have to wait. Every cord we sell is already kiln dried and ready to burn the day it shows up, so you skip the seasoning entirely.
What is the difference between larch and Douglas fir?
Both are dense BC softwoods that burn hot and long. Douglas fir runs a little higher on heat output, roughly 26 to 27 million BTU per cord versus larch at about 21 to 24 million. We blend them because together they give you reliable heat, easy lighting, and a clean burn. You really cannot go wrong with either.
Do you deliver?
Yes. We deliver Douglas fir firewood Calgary and Rocky View County customers can order in multiple cord sizes. Each load arrives kiln dried and ready to burn.
