All firewood is not created equal. If your firewood isn’t properly seasoned, it won’t burn as effectively and can even cause creosote build-up in your chimney. When you choose Jay’s Firewood & Mulch for your firewood needs, you’ll never have to worry about unseasoned wood. For more than 15 years, the company has offered seasoned firewood, shredded hardwood mulch, and firewood delivery to the entire St. Louis, MO, area.

When you throw a piece of unseasoned wood into your fireplace or wood stove, you’ll see the results immediately. Unseasoned wood contains a lot more moisture than seasoned firewood. As soon it hits the fire, it begins to hiss and smoke as the water burns off. Fires built with unseasoned wood burn at a lower temperature and provide less warmth.

Jay’s Firewood & Mulch doesn’t make a firewood delivery unless the wood has been seasoned for 12 to 15 months. They only use hardwood grown in the area to ensure your delivery only contains top-quality seasoned firewood. When you receive your order, take a close look at the wood. You’ll notice the ends of each log are dark and contain cracks. Unseasoned wood, in contrast, looks lighter on the ends and may even ooze sap. Seasoned firewood may feel lighter than it looks because most of the moisture has evaporated. Pieces of the bark may even fall off in your hands.

No matter how much firewood you need, Jay’s Firewood & Mulch will meet your demands. Some companies only offer firewood in full cords, but Jay’s sells seasoned oak firewood and hickory firewood in cords and cord increments. If you're low on seasoned firewood, call Jay’s Firewood and Mulch at (877) 492-2970 and set up a convenient delivery time.
