Request this loadWhy oak
The wood that heats a mountain house.
Oak is dense. That density means each split holds more energy, burns slower, and leaves coals you can stir back to life in the morning. Up in Anza, Idyllwild and Garner Valley, where a wood stove might be the primary heat source, that is the difference between feeding the fire twice a night and once.
We season our oak until it is dry enough to light cleanly and burn without smoldering. Properly seasoned hardwood has a moisture content of about 20% or less; green oak can be half water and will smoke, hiss and coat your chimney with creosote.
- Roughly 24–26 million BTU per cord, nearly double cedar or pine
- Burns long and steady with a deep bed of coals for overnight heat
- Low spark, low smoke when seasoned, so it is safe in open fireplaces
- Less creosote build-up than softwoods or green wood
- Precut to 16" to fit fireplaces, inserts and wood stoves
Wood stoves
Oak's slow burn and heavy coaling make it the best wood for airtight stoves and overnight heat. A full cord is the right buy for primary-heat homes.
Fireplaces & inserts
Low spark and steady flame for open hearths. A half cord carries most households through a season of regular evening fires.
Pizza ovens & cooking
Oak burns clean with a neutral flavor and holds oven temperature. A quarter cord keeps a backyard oven going all season.

Oak FAQ
Questions about oak firewood.
Why is oak considered the best firewood?
Oak is a hardwood with high density, so each piece holds more energy. A cord of seasoned oak produces roughly 24 to 26 million BTU, compared with about 15 million for cedar and 20 million for pine. It burns slowly, holds coals for hours and produces little smoke when properly seasoned.
How long does a cord of oak last?
For a home heated primarily with a wood stove in the Anza or Idyllwild mountains, a full cord of oak typically lasts four to six weeks of steady winter burning. A household lighting evening fireplace fires a few nights a week can stretch a half cord across the season.
Does oak firewood spark or pop?
Very little. Oak is a low-spark hardwood, which makes it safer than pine, juniper or pinyon for open indoor fireplaces.
