Camping Firewood Calgary: Seasonal Camping Mix
Enjoy Authentic Alberta Mixed Firewood
Premium Alberta Firewood
Summer Camping Mix (Spruce/Pine)
Camping season in Alberta is short, so most of us want to make the most of it. This is the camping firewood Calgary customers choose for backyard pits, weekends at the lake, and casual fires with friends. From May long weekend through the fall cooldown, a good fire pit is the center of any backyard or campsite. Our Camping Mix is a budget friendly softwood blend meant for recreational fires, not a premium hardwood you would burn to heat a house. If you want easy lighting wood that gets the job done without the premium price, this mix fits the season.
The Camping Mix is a seasonal spruce pine firewood blend pulled from local tree work around Calgary and Rocky View County. Depending on what comes in, you can expect a mix of:
- Spruce
- White pine
- Jack pine
All of it is sourced through Timber Ridge as a local arborist, so the wood comes from removals and trimming jobs in the area rather than a commercial mill. Because it depends on what we are cutting and processing, the exact ratio of species shifts through the year. This is a softwood product, light in weight and quick to dry, and it is stocked seasonally. It is not always available, so supply tends to follow the camping calendar.
Splits run a variable length since the wood goes through a hydraulic splitter, and pieces are not cut to a uniform size like a premium hardwood order.

Burn Characteristics
Softwood behaves differently from a dense hardwood, and that is the whole point of this product. Here is what to expect:
- Heat output: roughly 15 to 22 million BTU per cord, on the lower end compared to hardwoods. Good for a fire you sit around, not for serious heating.
- Easy to light: the resin in spruce and pine catches fast, so you spend less time fighting a fire pit.
- Sparky flame: lots of crackle, pop, and the occasional spark. It looks great and sounds like camping.
- Smoke and popping: higher smoke and more popping than hardwood. Worth knowing before you light it.
- Burn time: short. Softwood burns fast, so you will feed the fire more often through the evening.
- Ash: light ash production, easy cleanup the next morning.
Best uses
This is the camping firewood Calgary customers use for open air, recreational fires:
- Backyard fire pits
- Firewood for camping at a site or lake
- Casual recreational fires where the vibe matters more than heat
What it is not for: indoor use. Do not burn this in a fireplace, wood stove, or insert. Softwood resin and the heavier smoke lead to faster creosote buildup in a chimney, which is a real fire risk indoors. For inside burning you want a seasoned hardwood instead.
Safety tip: because this mix throws sparks and pops, keep it away from young kids and anyone sitting too close, and skip it for formal gatherings or events where flying embers are a problem. A spark screen on the pit is a smart add. Always check that the fire is fully out before you leave it.
The short version: Camping Mix is the economical pick for casual outdoor fires. If you want clean, long burning wood for a wood stove or for warmth through a cold night, look at a seasoned hardwood or our denser softwood options instead.
Buying Camping Firewood Calgary
We sell the camping firewood Calgary customers need in standard cord fractions, so you can match the order to how much you actually burn:
Keep stock in mind. This is a seasonal product tied to what we are cutting, so it is not guaranteed to be on hand year round. The best time to order is through the warmer camping months. If it is in stock and you have a trip or a long weekend coming up, it is worth grabbing early.
We deliver affordable firewood in Calgary and throughout Rocky View County. Check current Camping Mix availability and lock in a delivery window before your next trip or long weekend.
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.
What types of wood are in the Camping Mix?
A seasonal softwood blend, usually spruce, white pine, and jack pine. The exact mix changes through the year based on what comes in from local tree work.
Can I use Camping Mix indoors?
No. It is meant for outdoor fire pits and campfires only. Softwood produces more creosote and smoke, which is a chimney fire risk in a fireplace or wood stove. Use a seasoned hardwood for indoor burning.
Is the Camping Mix seasoned?
It is a value softwood product, and softwood dries quickly. Drying level varies by batch since it is seasonal. Ask us about current moisture when you order if it matters for your use.
When is Camping Mix in stock?
Availability is seasonal and depends on supply, so it lines up with the camping months and is not always on hand. Contact us to confirm what is available now.

A note on fire restrictions: Alberta puts fire bans and advisories in place during dry stretches, and municipalities set their own backyard fire pit rules.
