Why the mix

Two woods, one easy fire.

Cedar is a softwood full of natural oils. It lights almost eagerly, burns hot and smells like a mountain cabin, but on its own it burns through quickly. Oak is the opposite: slower to catch, then long and steady. Blended, you get an easy start and a fire that lasts.

Because cedar costs less to produce, the mix saves you real money: a full cord is $655 versus $777 for straight oak. It is the load we recommend for outdoor fire pits, campfires, chimineas and vacation rentals where guests need a fire they can start themselves.

  • Cedar's natural oils catch fast, so fires start with little kindling
  • Oak in the blend carries the heat and holds coals
  • Pleasant cedar aroma outdoors, great for fire pits and campfires
  • Lowest price per cord we offer: $655 for a full cord
  • Precut to 16", seasoned and sold by the cord

Fire pits & campfires

Cedar lights quickly outdoors even on a cold night and throws that classic campfire scent. The oak keeps the pit going without constant feeding.

Vacation rentals

Guests who have never built a fire can get cedar going. Keep a quarter or half cord on hand for the season.

Fireplaces with a screen

Perfectly good indoors behind a screen or glass doors. For an airtight wood stove, spark is not a concern at all.

Mix FAQ

Questions about the oak/cedar mix.

Is cedar good firewood?

Cedar is excellent for starting fires and for outdoor use. It lights easily, burns hot and gives off a pleasant aroma. On its own it burns fast and can pop, which is why we blend it with oak: cedar gets the fire going and oak carries the heat.

Is the oak/cedar mix okay for an indoor fireplace?

Yes, with a screen in place. Cedar can throw an occasional spark, so use a fireplace screen or glass doors. For wood stoves with closed doors it is not a concern.

What is the ratio of oak to cedar?

Loads are a blend of seasoned oak and cedar; the exact ratio varies with what we are splitting. If you need mostly oak, order the seasoned oak load instead.
