				<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">‘Should I get premium kiln dried wood or stick to cheaper ones this winter?’, this might be one of the questions you have in mind. There are lots of firewood types to choose from, and you can choose which ones fit your budget. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In this article, we will discuss why getting the premium could be a good choice. And if you are ready to buy one, go to us at Timber Ridge Firewood. We have firewood of all types, bulk, in cords, bags, or even semi-truckloads. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We get wood from managed tree lots, where careful harvesting contributes a lot to the forest’s health and longevity. Therefore, you will have peace of mind that firewood purchased from us is sourced sustainably. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">So, back to the question. How to prepare for winter with premium firewood?</span></p></div>

				<span class="et_pb_image_wrap "><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" width="1170" height="1560" src="https://timberridgefirewood.ca/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/Premium-Firewood-for-indoor-burning.jpeg" alt="Yellow Birch Firewood" title="Timber Ridge Firewood" class="wp-image-12656" /></span>

				<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">What is Premium Firewood?</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Before we start buying, we should first understand what makes a certain kiln fired wood a ‘premium’. They come from woods that are uncommon and have more desirable characteristics such as long burning time and high heat output. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For example, apple and cherry wood comes from old, unproductive trees in orchards. You can only get them on a seasonal basis, making them rare and somewhat more expensive. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Sometimes, it is not necessary that premium firewoods cost more. They are treated as such because of their good qualities. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Sometimes, these ‘premium firewood’ goes on sale once in a while if season allows it. Our </span><a href="https://timberridgefirewood.ca/product/over-sized-undersized-premium-firewood-douglas-fir-tamarack-birch/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Over-Sized &amp; Undersized Premium Firewood</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> mixed pile has off-cuts of birch and Tamarack wood. </span></p></div>
			</div><div class="et_pb_module et_pb_image et_pb_image_1">

			</div><div class="et_pb_module et_pb_text et_pb_text_2  et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light">
				
				
				
				
				<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">Should I Stock Kiln Dried vs Seasoned Firewood?</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Now the question is whether to choose seasoned vs kiln dried firewood for the winter. Kiln-dried firewood are fuel woods that spend time inside a hot kiln or a large oven, which removes water inside the wood. The oven speeds up the drying process, and it dries wood in four to six days.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">On the other hand, Seasoned wood, also called naturally seasoned firewood, is left stacked out in the open to dry. The entire process is dependent on the climate and takes months, sometimes up to six months, for the wood to achieve the desired dryness. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Well, both types are good as they are dry. Both have good heat output and are easy to light. For winter burning, kiln-dried firewood is an excellent choice for winter because of its low moisture content, typically ranging between 10-20%. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The controlled drying process in a kiln ensures that the wood dries uniformly and quickly, making it ready to burn immediately upon delivery. One of the key advantages is its high efficiency: kiln-dried firewood burns hotter and produces more heat, making it ideal for warming homes during the cold season. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This also means you&#8217;ll need less wood to achieve the same level of warmth compared to seasoned firewood.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In addition to better heat output, kiln-dried firewood creates less smoke and fewer emissions, reducing creosote buildup in your chimney. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This makes it safer, as creosote buildup can lead to chimney fires. Kiln-dried wood is also free from mold, pests, and insects due to the high temperatures used in the drying process, making it a cleaner option for indoor storage.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Most firewood suppliers offer both types during the winter season. Kiln dried firewood is faster to produce as drying only takes days, while stocks of seasoned firewood are often limited especially when there is demand. </span></p>
<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">What is the best quality firewood?</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">That’s not an easy question to answer. In our experience, users want to burn woods indoors that have a high heat output, long burning times, and with less smoke. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you ask us, the firewood that checks all of these qualities is kiln dried birch firewood, all hands down. It is perfect for burning outdoors and indoors, as it burns roaring hot and emits little smoke, which is ideal for the coldest nights and days. Because it is kiln dried, it lights up easily and does not make deposits inside chimney flues.</span></p>

				<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">What is the hottest burning firewood?</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Since you will face frigid nights and chilly days, you want to have firewood that emits high heat. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It&#8217;s not all about wood. There are a lot of factors that affect the hotness of a fire. The moisture level of the firewood, updrafts, and ambient humidity all play a role. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Now, if we consider all of these factors the same, some types of wood do burn hotter. Apple wood is the number one when it comes to heat output, giving out flames and hot coals when burned. It also emits a nice aroma, making it ideal for smoking, roasting, and heating wood-fired ovens and pizza stones. </span></p></div>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Drying firewood is an important part of processing wood logs. It transforms freshly cut or &#8220;green&#8221; wood into efficient and safe firewood. Green wood contains a high moisture content, often ranging from 30% to 60%, which can make it difficult to burn. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In any case you need kiln-dried firewood, naturally seasoned firewood, or boiler wood, check our </span><a href="https://timberridgefirewood.ca/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Timber Ridge Firewood</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> store. We have them in bags or bulk. and we deliver kiln-dried firewood to your doorstep. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Hey, if you are looking for ‘premium kiln dried firewood for sale near me’, don’t look further. We have </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">kiln-dried BC yellow birch firewood</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">, which has an impressive high heat rate and long burn time. It is the number 1 quality wood we can recommend, as it emits 2x to 3x more energy than regular softwood. </span></p></div>
			</div><div class="et_pb_module et_pb_image et_pb_image_5">
				
				
				
				
				<span class="et_pb_image_wrap "><img decoding="async" width="1707" height="2560" src="https://timberridgefirewood.ca/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Timber-Ridge-Detail-Shot-Kiln-Birch-1-1-Digital-Res-scaled.jpg" alt="Timber Ridge Kiln Dried Birch firewood Detail Shot" title="Timber Ridge Detail Shot - Kiln Birch 1-1 Digital Res" class="wp-image-27651" /></span>
			</div><div class="et_pb_module et_pb_text et_pb_text_8  et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light">
				
				
				
				
				<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">How to Make Kiln Dried Firewood</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As the name states, it involves drying firewood in an oven (the better term for that is a ‘kiln’), drawing out moisture from the wood. First, large log pieces are split into even pieces and tied into bundles. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Then, they are stacked inside a kiln. With fans, wood is exposed to hot air with temperatures around 140°F to 160°F for a set period, usually a few days to a week, to remove moisture quickly and uniformly. Hot air continuously circulates around the wood, drawing out moisture. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Kilns for drying firewood are usually massive, being able to dry several cords of wood at a time. Wood stays inside for some time until moisture levels are reduced to acceptable levels.</span></p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Kiln dried vs seasoned firewood</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">On the other hand, seasoned firewood is made by carefully stacking split firewood in a large shed or warehouse, allowing natural, ambient air to circulate over time. This process typically takes 6 months to a year, depending on the type of wood, climate, and how it&#8217;s stored. The wood is stacked and exposed to sunlight and wind, allowing the moisture to evaporate gradually. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The problem is that it takes so much time for naturally seasoned firewood to dry. Also, climate plays a big role in the process. If it rains or snows a lot, wood takes more time to dry. </span></p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Is Kiln-Dried Firewood Good or Not?</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Kiln drying dries out firewood much faster than natural seasoning does.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Properly dried wood, or seasoned firewood, typically has a moisture content of 20% or less, allowing it to burn more efficiently, produce more heat, and create less smoke. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Note that dry wood catches flame more quickly, so it is easier to light and you will have a good fire quickly. It is a dry firewood and among the driest you can get. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It used to be expensive. But now, more and more suppliers (like us at Timber Ridge Firewood) make and supply kiln-dried wood at more affordable prices. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Looking for dry firewood for sale near me? Get high-quality, seasoned firewood delivered right to your door with Timber Ridge Firewood. </span></p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Why Use Kiln Dried Firewood for Winter?</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">One of the primary reasons drying wood is important is the increase in energy output. Wet wood requires more energy to evaporate its moisture before it can burn, resulting in less heat for your home or fireplace. Therefore, for the winter, you want wood to be as dry as possible.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Another reason to dry firewood is to reduce creosote buildup. Creosote is a byproduct of burning wood with high moisture content and can accumulate in chimneys or flue systems, increasing the risk of chimney fires. Dry wood burns more cleanly, producing less creosote and helping to maintain a safer, more efficient fireplace or wood stove.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Furthermore, drying wood helps prevent the growth of mold, fungus, and insects that thrive in damp environments. Properly seasoned firewood is less likely to rot and attracts fewer pests, ensuring a cleaner and more reliable fuel source.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Lastly, dry firewood is easier to handle, lighter in weight, and simpler to store. The drying process ensures that your firewood is ready to use, providing consistent, reliable heat with fewer maintenance issues. Drying wood is essential to maximizing the safety, efficiency, and convenience of using firewood for heating or recreational purposes.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It burns at a higher temperature, providing more heat for the same volume of wood. This efficiency makes dried firewood an ideal choice for heating homes, cabins, or outdoor spaces.</span></p></div>

				<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Where to buy kiln dried firewood?</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Winter is the time where everyone is looking for firewood. Naturally seasoned firewood takes a lot of time to make, so choosing kiln-dried wood is often a better choice. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Note that it tends to have a lower moisture content than naturally seasoned wood. It catches fire quickly and burns a lot hotter, so you only need to burn less to achieve adequate heat level. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A clean burn is what you need. Kiln-dried wood fuel has less creosote, so sticking to it means there will be less sooty buildup in your fireplace chimneys or flues. Oven drying also kills molds, fungi, and insects that reside in the wood. It is a safer choice. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Lastly, kiln-dried wood is lighter and easier to stack. No need to hurt your back carrying stacks of them from your shed to the fireplace.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Go to a supplier that does kiln dried firewood delivery.

				<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Colder days and nights are here again and you might be shopping for firewood logs. Consider this a beginners guide, so read this before you look for firewood for sale. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">You might think firewood is nothing more than wood put into the fire. There’s more to that! In many places, firewood is still needed in campsites, wood ovens, boilers, and most especially in fireplaces. Just imagine what would happen to steak joints, pizza places, and BBQ businesses without firewood. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This article is brought to you by </span><a href="https://timberridgefirewood.ca/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Timber Ridge Firewood</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. We have a variety of bulk firewood and firewood bags, as well as firewood racks, firewood starters and kindling. We cater to places like hotels, restaurants, hospitality businesses, and individual homes. We supply firewood in the Calgary area and nearby cities, so call us and have your firewood of choice delivered to your address. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We humans have been utilising firewood for thousands of years. It is a part of life in many cultures even with modern technology. A lot of things will not work right if there is no firewood. Just imagine what Santa will use when winter arrives!</span></p></div>

				<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Got a firewood storage space?</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Another important question is do you have some sort of a firewood storage in your space. Firewood is best stored in spots with adequate air circulation to keep its moisture content. Wood for burning is bulky and needs some protection from moisture. Also, you have to keep them at a distance from open fires for safety. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">To start, you should have a firewood storage stack in your place. Any space will do, although not many spaces have enough space to stock firewood. The indoors is good but storing wood outdoors is also a choice as long as it is protected from the rain.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Here are things you must keep in mind for firewood storage:</span></p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">An indoor firewood rack is a good idea, as the wood is protected from moisture. However, a lot of indoor spaces are often limited. </span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">A firewood shed can store a lot of firewood. Storing firewood outdoors can be an option as long as the wood is protected from moisture. </span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Always make sure that the firewood holder and kindling is kept away from sparks and open  flames. </span></li>
</ul></div>
			</div><div class="et_pb_module et_pb_text et_pb_text_22  et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light">
				
				
				
				
				<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">What is the best firewood to burn?</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Now you have wood storage solved, now you can go to your favourite firewood supplier and start shopping. Now the next question you might have is looking for which firewood is best for burning. To explain it simply, there are three important factors most customers are looking for:</span></p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">The heat output. How much hotness does a certain firewood put out.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Longevity. Customers want firewood to burn for some time before needing to add more to the fire. </span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">The cost. You would want to have firewood that is not too expensive. </span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Also important is the moisture content of firewood. Green or unseasoned wood, which comes from recently harvested trees, has a lot of moisture. Burning unseasoned firewood generates a lot of smoke and has a low heat output as the fire has to evaporate the moisture as it gets into the wood. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">On the other hand, wood with too low moisture content tends to act like kindling, catching fire easily but it turns into ash pretty quickly resulting in low longevity. Therefore, it is important for you to check moisture levels before you buy firewood. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Getting bulk firewood gives you the most value for money, as they have larger pieces and cheaper in cost per volume. So let’s move on to types of firewood you will find in most suppliers (see the firewood you need here in our </span><a href="https://timberridgefirewood.ca/shop/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Timber Ridge Firewood Shop</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">). </span></p></div>
			</div><div class="et_pb_module et_pb_text et_pb_text_23  et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light">
				
				
				
				
				<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">Birch firewood</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Among the best in terms of value and cost, Birch firewood is a hardwood species that burns hot, has a long burning time, and emits less smoke compared to softwoods, while leaving little ash or creosote. It is a dense wood so it burns slowly and without popping. Whether you buy it in bulk or in bags, birch firewood is always a good choice. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Because it burns well with low smoke, birch firewood is perfect for indoors and for heating stoves, pizza ovens, and for roasting. It also emits a nice aroma. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Our store has </span><a href="https://timberridgefirewood.ca/product/naturally-seasoned-bc-yellow-birch-firewood/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Naturally Seasoned BC Yellow Birch Firewood</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> and </span><a href="https://timberridgefirewood.ca/product/kiln-dried-bc-yellow-birch-firewood/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Kiln Dried BC Yellow Birch Firewood</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> available for sale. Since birch is a hardwood and comes from less-common broadleaf trees, it costs higher compared to more common softwoods. </span></p></div>
			</div><div class="et_pb_module et_pb_image et_pb_image_15">
				
				
				
				
				<span class="et_pb_image_wrap "><img decoding="async" width="2560" height="2560" src="https://timberridgefirewood.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/Birch.webp" alt="naturally seasoned bc yellow birch firewood" title="Birch" class="wp-image-28879" /></span>
			</div><div class="et_pb_module et_pb_text et_pb_text_24  et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light">
				
				
				
				
				<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">Tamarack or Western Larch</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Among the best among softwoods, Tamarack wood emits a lot of heat when burned. It is perfect for heating homes and for boilers, and you will only need to burn a reduced quantity of wood for the same output. Just make sure burning Tamarack wood has plenty of air, and it will burn fine without too much smoke and ash. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Another advantage is that Tamarack wood has a long burn time, making a good firewood for stoves, ovens, and fireplaces. If you want to have an easier time maintaining your fireplace or oven, choose Tamarack firewood. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Get high-quality and properly seasoned </span><a href="https://timberridgefirewood.ca/product/premium-alberta-tamarack/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Premium Alberta Tamarack</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> from us. We get premium Tamarack from Alberta. </span></p></div>
			</div><div class="et_pb_module et_pb_text et_pb_text_25  et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light">
				
				
				
				
				<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">Douglas Fir/Larch </span></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It is a good choice for that classic, bonfire experience as it makes a little crackle when burned. Douglas Fir and Larch are dense softwoods, so it has a high heat output. These woods belong to the pine family and naturally have a resinous wood, so they pop even when seasoned. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">You can burn Douglas Fir and Large indoors and outdoors, and expect them to have a long burning time and emit low smoke. We have </span><a href="https://timberridgefirewood.ca/product/kiln-dried-bc-larch-douglas-fir-firewood/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Dried BC Larch/Douglas Fir Firewood</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> for sale. </span></p>
<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">Red Cedar</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Red Cedar firewood always puts out a hot, colourful flame that makes it appealing to bonfires and campsites. Red cedar is a dense softwood, so it also has a high heat output and emits a nice aroma as a bonus. Because of those properties, Red Cedar firewood is often used for roasting and smoking meats and fish. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Best used for outdoors. Our shop delivers </span><a href="https://timberridgefirewood.ca/product/kiln-dried-bc-cedar-firewood/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Red Wood BC Cedar Firewood</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> to your place. </span></p></div>
			</div><div class="et_pb_module et_pb_image et_pb_image_16">
				
				
				
				
				<span class="et_pb_image_wrap "><img decoding="async" width="2560" height="2560" src="https://timberridgefirewood.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/Red-Wood-BC-Cedar-Firewood.webp" alt="kiln dried bc cedar firewood" title="Red Wood BC Cedar Firewood" class="wp-image-28889" /></span>
			</div><div class="et_pb_module et_pb_text et_pb_text_26  et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light">
				
				
				
				
				<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Get Your Firewood from a Reputable Supplier</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Despite modern technology and adoption of heating oil, the fireplace is still an important part of life to many people.

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For this blog, we want to introduce how Timber Ridge Firewood started, what are the products we are selling, and how you can reach us. Welcome to our website!</span></p>
<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">How Timber Ridge Firewood Started </span></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The business was started in 2016 by Steven Boivin, who is the current CEO. The company started as a small business. Steven’s parents were arborists who owned a tree farm service (the Timber Ridge Tree Service). It all started as a way to re-purpose tree logs done for forest health management in Calgary and nearby areas. </span></p>
<p><a href="https://timberridgefirewood.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/Steven-Boivin.jpg"><img decoding="async" class="wp-image-28877 size-full" src="https://timberridgefirewood.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/Steven-Boivin.jpg" alt="Steven Boivin" width="1024" height="771" /></a> <em>Steven Boivin, the CEO of Timber Ridge Firewood</em></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Firewood is the best alternative for reusing not-so-good tree logs, as nothing goes to waste. Steven loved nature and working with wood, and also found the important role of a fireplace as a spot for people to interact socially. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Fast forward, the Timber Ridge Firewood remains a family-owned business and expanded to delivering firewood to commercial businesses. We are now the primary supplier of firewood bags to 7-Elevens across Canada. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Aside from firewood, we also want customers to have an elevated experience with it. That’s why aside from providing firewood in Calgary, we also have fire starters, firewood holders, firewood storage racks, and firewood sheds.  </span></p>

<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">Wide range of bulk firewood, firewood bags, and accessories </span></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Aside from offering firewood for sale in Calgary and nearby areas, we also provide kindling bags, artisan metal accessories, and decorative wood furniture.

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">So let’s get started with our favourite item, firewood! See the following here in our shop.</span></p>
<p><a href="https://timberridgefirewood.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/Birch.webp"><img decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-28879 size-large" src="https://timberridgefirewood.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/Birch-1024x1024.webp" alt="Birch bulk firewood for sale " width="1024" height="1024" /></a></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A gold-standard firewood in heat output and it burns long, yellow birch firewood is desired because it is highly dense and does not do undesirable popping when burned. It emits low-density smoke that does not irritate the eyes, making it fit for burning indoors and outdoors. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Yellow birch wood is very low in resin and sap, so it burns cleanly with little ash and creosote buildup. When ignited, it releases a sweet aroma that improves the fireplace experience. Our Yellow Birch firewood comes from British Columbia, and we deliver kiln-dried and naturally-seasoned firewood. Perfect for fire pits, wood stoves, fireplaces, smokers, and pizza ovens.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Harvested in Alberta, Tamarack wood is desired because it has a high heat output and a long burn time. In fact, it has a longer burning time than most types of firewood. It also produces low levels of smoke, which is good when burning indoors. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">So it burns hot and slow, so expect a longer fire. May burn with a bit of crackle and pop, but that adds to the wonderful fire experience. Perfect for fireplaces and fire pits. </span></p>

					<description><![CDATA[In part 7 of our firewood education series, find out why yellow birch is a premium firewood for indoor burning.]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Introduction</strong></h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">At Timber Ridge Firewood, located in Calgary, AB, Canada, we believe clients must understand their products, where they come from, and get the best value from their premium firewood. This blog is the seventh of a series that will cover different<a href="https://timberridgefirewood.ca/types-of-wood/"> types of firewood</a> available in the local market, the features and benefits of each type of wood, and how to utilize wood products effectively. With this knowledge, we hope that firewood users will become more knowledgeable about the products they are purchasing and ensure that they have the best firewood experience possible. Let&#8217;s dive right into the seventh part of this series covering Yellow Birch Firewood.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Yellow Birch Tree Sources</strong></h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Birch Trees have various species such as Silver, Yellow, and Black Birch. In Canada, it is more common to find Silver and Yellow Birch. The Yellow Birch is primarily located in British Columbia and appears in some Saskatchewan forests. In Alberta, it is uncommon to find any yellow birch trees. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Like the Silver Birch, a Yellow Birch has a thin paper-like bark. However, instead of having a pure whitebark, these trees have a yellow hue. Birch trees tend to either grow out like a canopy tree or weep down towards the ground. Their most distinguishing characteristic is the white paper bark that you see on the outside of the tree. When split, the Yellow Birch has a significantly more yellow grain than the traditional Silver Birch with a white grain inside. Next time you are out in British Columbia, keep an eye out for trees with White Paperbark, and you will likely be looking at a Yellow Birch Tree.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-yellow-birch-firewood-characteristics"><strong>Yellow Birch Firewood Characteristics</strong></h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Yellow Birch as firewood is a dense hardwood that makes for amazing wood-burning indoor and outdoor. The firewood has a straight grain that is easy to split into smaller sizes and makes for consistent burn-through rates. Starting Yellow Birch can sometimes be challenging because of its dense wood fibres. You should get a good base fire going and ignite the birch from its bark to have an easy start. The bark will act as a natural fire starter, making the birch burn beautifully. You will experience a hot long burn with minimal smoke and clean-burning characteristics when burning.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Yellow Birch Firewood Utilization</strong></h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Yellow Birch firewood works great for indoor and outdoor burning needs. Use it in your fireplace, woodstove, or in your backyard fire pits for recreational burning. Birch is quite versatile and can also be used for smoking and cooking. The wood utilization for yellow birch is whatever burning experience you need it for. This premium wood will provide a great burn no matter what your utilization.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Our Yellow Birch Firewood</strong></h2>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Introduction</strong></h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">At Timber Ridge Firewood, located in Calgary, AB, Canada, we believe clients must understand their products, where they come from, and get the best value from their premium firewood. This blog is the sixth of a series that will cover different <a href="https://timberridgefirewood.ca/types-of-wood/">types of firewood</a> available in the local market, the features and benefits of each type of wood, and how to utilize wood products effectively. With this knowledge, we hope that firewood users will become more knowledgeable about the products they are purchasing and ensure that they have the best firewood experience possible. Let&#8217;s dive right into the sixth part of this series covering Orchard Apple Firwood.</p>



<span id="more-12646"></span>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Orchard Apple Tree Sources</strong></h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"> Sourced from the Okanagan area of British Columbia, our apple trees are carefully processed to highlight their best qualities. You will also notice that many local residences across Canada have various types of apple trees on their properties. Apple trees are unique for their very dense wood and fruit-bearing nature. For the firewood industry, it is important to work with orchards that cycle their trees sustainably when they no longer produce fruit. When the apple trees become barren, they are cut down, re-utilized, and re-planted. This cyclical process allows us to source and harvest the most beautiful applewood across Canada. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Orchard Apple Firewood Characteristics</strong></h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="https://timberridgefirewood.ca/products/naturally-seasoned-orchard-apple%e2%80%8b/">Apple firewood</a> is an incredibly dense hardwood with unique grain that is a dark brown or reddish/purple. Applewood grain gets twisted with many knot as it grows, creating interesting patterns in the wood. Since apple is relatively scarce, people try to utilize as many apple tree fibers as possible. This utilization need causes firewood producers and orchards to keep as much of the tree as possible, including all the branches in addition to the trunk wood. When burning apple as firewood, it burns long, hot, and moderate smoke. The smoke makes Cooking with apples so incredible because that smokey flavor will infuse with your food.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-orchard-apple-firewood-utilization"><strong>Orchard Apple Firewood Utilization</strong></h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Generally, apple firewood is best suited for smoking, cooking, and spatial heating. Famous for adding a unique smokey flavour to food, applewood is popular with culinary enthusiasts. Since it is a hardwood, it does work for spatial heating in a wood stove or indoor fireplace; however, because of its density, it can be pretty hard to get a fire going and provide a smaller/lower flame level than alternative hardwoods. We recommend people stick to Cooking and smoking with apples because of the novelty and accessibility of the wood. This specialty firewood is hard to come by and works best for roast chicken or brisket.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Our Orchard Apple Firewood</strong></h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Timber Ridge Firewood sources its Orchard Apple from British Columbia in the beautiful Okanagan. We work with orchards that will provide us with apple trees that have become barren and completed fruit-bearing life cycles. Once removed, the wood is cut to variable shapes and sizes then dried to the optimal moisture level. Our Orchard apple makes for the perfect addition to any indoor or outdoor cooking/smoking system.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Purchasing With Timber Ridge Firewood</strong> </h2>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Introduction</strong></h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">At Timber Ridge Firewood, located in Calgary, AB, Canada, we believe clients must understand their products, where they come from, and get the best value from their premium firewood. This blog is the fourth of a series that will cover different <a href="https://timberridgefirewood.ca/types-of-wood/">types of firewood</a> available in the local market, the features and benefits of each type of wood, and how to utilize wood products effectively. With this knowledge, we hope that firewood users will become more knowledgeable about the products they are purchasing and ensure that they have the best firewood experience possible. Let&#8217;s dive right into the fourth part of this series covering Cedar Firewood.</p>



<span id="more-12637"></span>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Cedar Tree Sources</strong></h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The beautiful Cedar trees are generally located in British Columbia. You will see some cedars in Alberta and other parts of Canada; however, they fail in comparison to the size of British Columbia Cedars. Cedar trees can be giant with bark that runs vertically and looks like they can peel right off the tree. Instead of leaves you&#8217;ll find soft bristle branched needles. These trees are unique and provide a very different type of firewood compared to any other firewood species. We work with companies connected to BC Forestry so we can sustainability provide cedar firewood to our clients.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Cedar Firewood Characteristics</strong></h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">From the first moment you touch, feel, and use cedar firewood, it will be different from any other firewood you have used. Cedar is very light softwood firewood with a straight grain making it easy to split into great firewood pieces. When you pick up a piece of cedar firewood, the weight of the wood is determined by the low density of the firewood. When you ignite a piece of Cedar, you will find that it burns hot and fast. Cedar produces a moderate amount of smoke with some crackling and popping. What makes Cedar the most unique is the sweat and pleasant aroma released when burning. These characteristics make fantastic Cedar kindling and excellent firewood for a more social setting.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-cedar-firewood-utilization"><strong>Cedar Firewood Utilization</strong></h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Cedar Firewood is suitable for both indoor and outdoor burning needs. You get great heat from Cedar as outdoor firewood, but you will find that you have to continue adding wood to the fire frequently because of how quickly it burns. However, no other type of wood will provide the type of aroma and atmosphere that Cedar can. Cedar will help bring people together by creating a social environment when camping or enjoying the outdoors. Using Cedar for indoor burning makes the perfect firewood for hosting, socializing, or around the holidays. When that Cedar aroma seeps into your home from the fireplace or woodstove, everyone will be able to enjoy the warmth and atmosphere of the fire. We highly recommend trying out our <a href="https://timberridgefirewood.ca/products/kiln-dried-bc-cedar-firewood/">cedar firewood</a> to experience the pleasant aroma and figure out just why it is so lovely to enjoy.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Our Cedar Firewood</strong></h2>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">At Timber Ridge Firewood, we believe clients get value from understanding how their products work and where they come from. This blog is the third of a series that will cover different <a href="https://timberridgefirewood.ca/types-of-wood/">types of firewood</a> available in the local market, the features and benefits of each type of wood, and how to utilize wood products effectively. With this knowledge, we hope that our clients will become more knowledgeable about the products they are purchasing and ensure that they have the best firewood experience possible. Let&#8217;s dive right into the third part of this series covering Larch/Douglas Fir Firewood.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Douglas Fir Tree Sources</strong></h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Douglas Fir Trees are native to British Columbia, and that is their primary location across Canada. They are an evergreen species of tree with very thick bark and lighter evergreen needles compared to other species. In Alberta, you will see some Douglas Fir trees, but they are significantly less common. Like most evergreens, the males produce smaller cones and produce pollen, whereas the females produce larger cones that are seed-bearing. We have close relationships with companies that work directly with BC Forestry so that we can bring Douglas Fir firewood into Alberta for our clients to enjoy. The Douglas Fir trees produce beautiful dense firewood with dark red wood grain on the inside.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Douglas Fir Firewood Characteristics</strong></h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">When using Douglas Fir as Firewood, you will notice that the wood is heavy compared to other softwood firewood. Douglas Fir has very dense wood grains, resulting in more wood fibers per piece of firewood. Due to the firewood density, Douglas Fir can burn longer and produce more heat in BTUs than most alternative softwood firewood. When compared to lower quality wood like spruce or poplar, there is a significant difference in heat and burn time. This firewood type will burn roughly 1.5X as long as spruce or poplar. The other relevant burning characteristics for Douglas Fir are the smoke, popping, and residue. This type of wood has a low quantity of popping, low to mid-level smoke, and a low to mid-level of residue. It is considered a premium softwood as firewood, and our clients love using it for the burning experiences.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Douglas Fir Firewood Utilization</strong></h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Douglas Fir Firewood is suitable for both indoor and outdoor utilization. When burning indoors, I love to use the bark to create a fire with some pieces of kindling. That combination creates the perfect base to get the Douglas Fir lit and burning bright. The increased value in heat and burning characteristics makes it much more suitable firewood for outdoors than spruce or pine. This firewood is more family-friendly for recreational use and will prevent you from getting smoked out around the fire pit. It lets off a pleasant aroma around the holidays or when making smores around the campfire. We love utilizing douglas fir firewood and encourage our clients to try it for whatever their firewood needs are.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Our Douglas Fir Firewood</strong></h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Our <a href="https://timberridgefirewood.ca/products/kiln-dried-bc-larch-douglas-fir/">Douglas Fir firewood</a> comes from southern and central BC, providing the highest quality Douglas Fir that you can get in Alberta. We work diligently to ensure that our firewood is of premium quality with good sizing and a guaranteed moisture level with each order. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Our firewood is always dried for our clients before sale so that it is ready to be used right away. The wood is processed to 15-16&#8243; lengths and has some variation in the size of pieces. We try to keep sizing consistent, but with the large trees coming out of BC, the average size of douglas fir is bigger than our alternative types of firewood. These big pieces make it have long-lasting fires in your campfire or indoor burning units. At Timber Ridge, we love Douglas Fir and encourage our clients to try it out and see why the people in BC have enjoyed this firewood for 100&#8217;s of years.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Knowing how your products work and where they come from will get you the best value from your premium firewood.  When it comes to premium softwood for indoor and outdoor burning, tamarack is a fantastic option to consider. This blog is the second of a series that will cover different types of firewood available in the local market, the features and benefits of each type of wood and how to utilize wood products effectively. With this knowledge, we hope that firewood users will become more knowledgeable about the products they are purchasing and ensure that they have the best firewood experience possible. Let&#8217;s dive right into the second part of this series covering Tamarack Firewood.</p>



<span id="more-12631"></span>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-tamarack-tree-sources"><strong>Tamarack Tree Sources</strong></h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In Alberta, Larch and Tamarack trees are considered to be pretty synonymous. Both species are evergreens from the same genus and have similar growing and burning characteristics. The tamarack/larch trees are more dense when compared to spruce, pine or poplar trees. They are slightly more sensitive to environmental factors and do not take root as effectively as alternative evergreen trees. These sensitivities make tamarack/larch more scarce than spruce or pine evergreens. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">With that being said, there is still relatively large access to tamarack wood across North America. The wood has a thick bark with a red tinge, and the wood grain also has a darker wood grain where some read is present. The easiest way to distinguish Tamarack is to see if the grain inside has two different colours because pine or spruce will be one consistent shade. Larch trees are famous for their fall colours because their needles change colours in the fall season. Overall, the Tamarack/larch trees are beautiful trees that make premium softwood for indoor and outdoor burning. This is a great quality firewood after processing and drying.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-tamarack-firewood-characteristics"><strong>Tamarack Firewood Characteristics</strong></h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">When using Tamarack/Larch as firewood, you will notice right away that this softwood is significantly heavier than woods like spruce or pine. The wood grain is significantly more dense, which means you have a lot more wood fibres packed tightly into each piece of wood. Due to the wood density, the wood will burn about 1.5X as long as alternative softwoods. This same density will allow less popping and crackling, making your fires safer for kids and children. As for the wood itself, it lets off a pleasant aroma, burns exceptionally hot and releases a moderate amount of smoke. At Timber Ridge Firewood, we love Tamarack for outdoor burning, and it makes for great camping or recreational firewood.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-tamarack-firewood-utilization"><strong>Tamarack Firewood Utilization</strong></h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Tamarack Firewood is suitable premium softwood for both indoor and outdoor burning. When using outdoors or indoors, you will want to get a good base fire going or use kindling the ignite the wood grain. Since the wood has a higher density, some people find it more challenging to light than lower quality softwood. Still, if you have excellent and dry Tamarack, you will not have any significant challenges getting a beautiful fire going. This firewood is safe to use around children or animals as it does pop less frequently than alternative types of softwood. For indoor burning, it is suitable for both fireplaces and wood stoves. You will notice that you get good heat and burn time to supplement your heating or any spatial heating needs. Tamarack is great to have on hand for your firewood burning experience as a type of firewood.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-our-tamarack-firewood"><strong>Our Tamarack Firewood</strong></h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Timber Ridge Firewood takes our time sorting through the wood to ensure that each type of wood is speciated with accuracy.
