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’s dive right into the sixth part of this series covering Orchard Apple Firwood.

Orchard Apple Tree Sources

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.

Orchard Apple Firewood Characteristics

Apple firewood 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.

Orchard Apple Firewood Utilization

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.
