Seasoned firewood has been dried for an extended period โ€” typically 6-12 months or more โ€” reducing its moisture content to 20% or below. Seasoned wood burns hotter, cleaner, and produces less smoke than green (freshly cut) wood.
All firewood from SFFireWood.com is fully seasoned and ready to burn upon delivery. Signs of properly seasoned wood include darker color, lighter weight, cracks at the ends, and a hollow sound when two pieces are knocked together.
Store firewood off the ground on a rack, stacked loosely for airflow, with the top covered but sides open. Keep it at least 5 feet from your home's exterior to prevent pest entry. Avoid storing large quantities indoors.
Yes! We pride ourselves on offering sustainable, locally sourced firewood from the greater Bay Area and California region. Supporting local means fresher wood, shorter transport, and a smaller environmental footprint.
As a natural outdoor product, firewood may occasionally contain local insects or bugs. We inspect every bundle but cannot guarantee it is completely insect-free. We recommend storing wood away from your home structure and not bringing large quantities indoors.

๐Ÿ”ฅ Fire Safety

Spare the Air days are declared by the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) when air quality is predicted to be unhealthy. Wood burning โ€” including in fireplaces and outdoor fire pits โ€” is prohibited throughout the Bay Area on these days. Check sparetheair.org before every burn.
No. Wood burning of any kind is prohibited on Spare the Air days regardless of firewood type or quality. Violations can result in fines. Always check sparetheair.org before lighting a fire.
Our firewood is suitable for use in well-maintained, EPA-approved wood-burning fireplaces, fireplace inserts, wood stoves, and outdoor fire pits. It is not suitable for gas fireplaces, pellet stoves, or fire pits not designed for wood burning.
Call 911 immediately. Do not attempt to fight a large fire yourself. Always keep a fire extinguisher nearby when burning, and never leave a fire unattended. Make sure your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors are working.

โ†ฉ๏ธ Refunds & Cancellations

Refund requests must be submitted by email to [email protected] within 48 hours of delivery, with proof of payment and at least 2 photos of the firewood. A minimum 10% administrative fee applies. Refunds are issued to the original payment method within 72 hours of a correctly completed request.

๐Ÿชต How to Store Firewood Properly

Store firewood off the ground, stacked loosely for airflow, covered on top but open on sides. Keep at least 5 feet from your home to prevent pest entry.

๐ŸŒก๏ธ How to Tell If Firewood Is Seasoned

Seasoned wood is darker, lighter in weight, has cracks on the ends, and makes a hollow "clunk" sound when two pieces are knocked together. Green wood hisses and steams.

๐Ÿ”ฅ Building the Perfect Fire

Start with crumpled newspaper, add kindling in a teepee shape, place 2โ€“3 small logs on top, and light from the bottom. Allow airflow by keeping the damper fully open.

๐ŸŒฟ Fire Safety Checklist

Always use a screen, never leave fires unattended, keep a fire extinguisher nearby, ensure your chimney is cleaned annually, and fully extinguish before sleeping.

Firewood Delivery in San Francisco โ€” What to Expect

Ordering firewood delivery in San Francisco can feel unfamiliar if you've never done it before. Here's everything you need to know about how it works, what to expect, and how to make the most of your delivery...

San Francisco's unique geography โ€” from Pacific Heights hills to Mission District flats โ€” means that firewood delivery isn't always as simple as dropping a bundle at the curb. At SFFireWood.com, we've built our delivery process around the realities of city living.

How Ordering Works

Simply visit our website, select your firewood type and quantity, fill in your delivery details including access information, and choose your preferred payment method. We accept Venmo, PayPal, and Zelle for your convenience. Once payment is confirmed, we'll reach out to schedule your delivery window.

What Counts as "Standard" Delivery?

Our standard delivery covers easy-access locations โ€” street level, a driveway, or a first-floor entrance with no stairs or elevator required. If your home requires stairs or elevator access, a small additional fee applies to account for the extra time and effort involved.

Tips for a Smooth Delivery

  • Have a clear, dry space ready to receive the firewood before we arrive
  • If you live in an apartment, let your building know to expect a delivery
  • Make sure street access is clear โ€” especially important in SF's busy neighborhoods
  • If you won't be home, authorize us in writing to leave the delivery in a specified safe location

What Happens After Delivery?

Once your firewood is delivered, it's ready to use immediately โ€” our wood is fully seasoned and dry. Store it off the ground in a covered, ventilated area for best results. If you have any questions after delivery, email us at [email protected] and we'll be happy to help.

Oak vs Almond Firewood โ€” Which Burns Better?

Two of our most popular firewood types are oak and almond โ€” both are exceptional hardwoods, but they each have distinct characteristics that make them ideal for different situations. Here's our honest comparison...

Oak Firewood

Oak is one of the most widely respected firewood species in the world, and for good reason. It burns hot, long, and produces minimal smoke when properly seasoned. Oak is a dense hardwood that creates an excellent bed of coals โ€” perfect for maintaining a fire over many hours without constant attention.

  • Heat output: ~26.4 million BTU per cord
  • Burn time: Excellent โ€” among the longest burning woods
  • Aroma: Mild, pleasant, classic wood smoke
  • Best for: Long evenings, heating purposes, overnight fires

Almond Firewood

Almond is a fruitwood that burns slightly hotter than oak with a distinctly pleasant, mild sweet aroma. It's one of California's most beloved firewood choices because of its clean burn and beautiful flame color. Almond produces less creosote buildup in chimneys than softwoods, making it a chimney-friendly choice.

  • Heat output: ~25.8 million BTU per cord
  • Burn time: Very good โ€” comparable to oak
  • Aroma: Mild, slightly sweet and fruity
  • Best for: Indoor fireplaces, ambiance fires, outdoor gatherings

Our Verdict

Both are outstanding choices. Choose oak if you want maximum heat output and the longest burn time. Choose almond if you want a clean, aromatic, beautiful flame with excellent heat. Can't decide? Our Mixed Firewood bundle gives you the best of both worlds!

Bay Area Spare the Air Days โ€” What You Need to Know

If you live in the Bay Area and enjoy burning firewood, understanding Spare the Air alerts is essential. Burning wood on prohibited days can result in fines โ€” here's everything you need to know to stay safe and compliant...

What is Spare the Air?

Spare the Air is a program run by the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) designed to reduce air pollution during periods when weather conditions cause pollutants to build up near ground level. During a Spare the Air alert, burning wood in fireplaces or outdoor fire pits is prohibited throughout the Bay Area โ€” including San Francisco, San Mateo, and Santa Clara counties.

When Do Spare the Air Alerts Happen?

Spare the Air alerts occur most frequently during winter months โ€” typically November through February โ€” when weather inversions trap smoke and particulates close to the ground. However, they can be called at any time of year when air quality is predicted to be unhealthy.

How to Check for Alerts

  • Visit sparetheair.org daily before burning
  • Sign up for free email or text alerts at sparetheair.org
  • Check the BAAQMD app on your smartphone
  • Listen for announcements on local Bay Area radio stations

What Are the Penalties?

Burning on a Spare the Air day can result in fines starting at $100 for a first offense and increasing for repeat violations. Neighbors can and do report violations โ€” it's not worth the risk.

Our Commitment

At SFFireWood.com, we encourage all our customers to check Spare the Air status before every burn. We provide fully seasoned firewood that produces the least possible smoke when burned correctly โ€” but no firewood should be burned during a Spare the Air alert regardless of wood type or quality.

Tips for Minimizing Smoke

  • Always use properly seasoned firewood โ€” never green or wet wood
  • Build smaller, hotter fires rather than large smoldering ones
  • Ensure adequate airflow by keeping dampers fully open
  • Never burn trash, treated wood, or cardboard
  • Use EPA-certified fire starters

The Ultimate Guide to Storing Firewood Safely

Proper firewood storage is the difference between wood that burns beautifully and wood that smokes, hisses, and frustrates. Here's our complete guide to storing your firewood the right way...

The Golden Rules of Firewood Storage

  • Keep it off the ground โ€” use a firewood rack, pallets, or any elevated surface. Ground contact causes moisture absorption and rot
  • Stack it loosely โ€” firewood needs air circulation to stay dry. Don't pack it too tightly
  • Cover the top only โ€” cover the top to keep rain off, but leave the sides open for airflow. Fully wrapping wood traps moisture
  • Face it toward the sun โ€” if possible, stack firewood where it gets afternoon sunlight to aid drying

Where to Store Firewood in San Francisco

San Francisco homes often have limited outdoor space. Here are practical options:

  • Backyard or patio: Ideal โ€” use a firewood rack with a waterproof cover
  • Garage: Good option but ensure ventilation โ€” stored firewood can attract insects
  • Balcony or deck: Fine for smaller quantities โ€” use a compact firewood holder
  • Avoid storing inside: Bringing large quantities of firewood indoors can introduce insects and mold into your home

How Far from the House?

Store firewood at least 5 feet from your home's exterior walls and foundation. Firewood stored directly against the house can become a highway for termites, ants, and other wood-boring insects to enter your home.

How Long Does Firewood Last in Storage?

Properly stored seasoned firewood lasts 3โ€“4 years without significant quality loss. SFFireWood.com delivers fully seasoned wood that is ready to burn โ€” so there's no additional drying time needed. Simply store it properly and it will be ready whenever you need it.

Signs Your Stored Firewood Has Gone Bad

  • Soft, spongy texture โ€” indicates rot
  • Strong musty smell โ€” indicates mold or fungal growth
  • Excessive insect activity โ€” indicates infestation
  • Heavy weight for its size โ€” indicates retained moisture

If you notice these signs, it's time to replace your supply. Contact us at [email protected] for a fresh delivery!

5 Signs Your Firewood is Properly Seasoned

Not all firewood is created equal. Burning green or improperly seasoned wood produces excessive smoke, less heat, and dangerous creosote buildup in your chimney. Here are 5 foolproof signs that your firewood is ready to burn...

1. ๐ŸŽจ Color Change

Freshly cut (green) wood has a bright, vibrant appearance. Properly seasoned wood darkens to a grayish or brown color at the ends. The bark may also look faded, dried, or may be peeling away from the wood.

2. โš–๏ธ Lighter Weight

Green wood is heavy because it's full of moisture โ€” sometimes up to 50% water by weight. Seasoned wood has lost most of that moisture and will feel noticeably lighter for its size. Pick up two similarly sized pieces and compare โ€” the lighter one is drier.

3. ๐Ÿ”Š The Knock Test

Knock two pieces of firewood together. Green wood makes a dull "thud" sound โ€” it's still dense with moisture. Properly seasoned wood makes a hollow, resonant "clunk" or "crack" sound. This is one of the fastest and most reliable tests you can do.

4. ๐ŸŒฟ Cracks at the Ends

As wood dries and loses moisture, it naturally contracts and develops cracks โ€” called "checks" โ€” radiating outward from the center at the cut ends. These cracks are a reliable visual indicator that the wood has been properly seasoned. The more pronounced the cracks, the drier the wood.

5. ๐Ÿ”ฅ Burns Easily and Cleanly

The ultimate test is in the burn. Properly seasoned wood catches fire easily, burns with a bright clean flame, produces minimal smoke after the initial lighting phase, and doesn't hiss or steam while burning. Green wood will hiss, steam, produce heavy smoke, and be difficult to keep lit.

SFFireWood.com's Guarantee

All firewood delivered by SFFireWood.com is fully seasoned and ready to burn. We take pride in the quality of our product โ€” no green wood, no surprises. If you ever have concerns about the quality of your delivery, contact us immediately at [email protected].

๐Ÿ”ฅ Did You Know?

Fascinating facts about firewood, fire, and the Bay Area โ€” from the people who deliver it to your door.

๐ŸŒณ

Hardwood vs. Softwood

Not all firewood is created equal. Hardwoods like oak, almond, and hickory burn hotter, longer, and cleaner than softwoods like pine or cedar. Softwoods ignite faster but burn out quickly and produce more creosote โ€” a sticky residue that builds up in chimneys and can cause chimney fires. SFFireWood.com sells only premium hardwood bundles.

๐Ÿ’ง

Seasoned Wood Burns Better

Fresh-cut "green" wood contains up to 50% moisture. Burning it produces more smoke, less heat, and significantly more creosote. Properly seasoned firewood โ€” dried for 6 to 12 months โ€” has a moisture content below 20% and burns cleaner, hotter, and more efficiently. All SFFireWood.com bundles are fully seasoned and ready to burn.

๐ŸŒฐ

Almond Wood is a California Treasure

California is one of the world's largest almond producers โ€” and almond wood is a prized byproduct. When almond trees are removed or replaced after their productive years, the wood is harvested for firewood. It burns hot and long, produces a beautiful golden flame, and emits a subtly sweet, pleasant aroma that makes it one of the most beloved firewood choices in the Bay Area.

๐Ÿ™๏ธ

San Francisco's Spare the Air Days

The Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) issues "Spare the Air" alerts on days when weather conditions trap pollutants close to the ground. On these days, burning wood in fireplaces or wood stoves is prohibited โ€” even in EPA-certified devices. Always check the BAAQMD app or sparetheair.org before lighting your fireplace. Violations can result in fines.

๐Ÿ“

What Exactly Is a "Cord"?

A cord is the official unit of measurement for firewood โ€” it's a stack measuring exactly 4 feet wide ร— 4 feet tall ร— 8 feet long, totaling 128 cubic feet. A "face cord" or "rick" is typically โ…“ of a full cord. A bundle (like ours) is roughly .75 to 1 cubic foot โ€” perfect for a single fire session. Knowing the difference protects you from overpaying when buying firewood anywhere.

๐Ÿ”ฅ

Fire Has Three Requirements

Every fire needs three things: fuel (wood), heat (ignition), and oxygen (airflow). Remove any one of them and the fire goes out. That's why keeping your damper fully open when starting a fire is critical โ€” restricted airflow is the #1 reason fires don't start or die quickly. Our bundles include fast-igniting kindling to give your fire the perfect head start.

๐Ÿชต

Never Burn These in Your Fireplace

Some things should never go in a fireplace: treated or painted wood (releases toxic chemicals), plywood or particleboard (contains adhesives and formaldehyde), cardboard (creates flying embers), plastic or trash (toxic fumes), and wet or green wood (excessive smoke and creosote). Stick to properly seasoned hardwood โ€” like ours โ€” for a safe, clean burn every time.

๐ŸŒฟ

Firewood Can Be Eco-Friendly

When sourced responsibly, firewood is considered carbon-neutral โ€” trees absorb COโ‚‚ as they grow, and burning releases roughly the same amount they stored. Locally sourced firewood like ours also eliminates the emissions from long-distance transportation. Additionally, buying almond firewood supports California's agricultural industry by utilizing wood that would otherwise go to waste.

๐Ÿ 

SF Apartments & Wood-Burning Fireplaces

Many San Francisco apartments and condos have decorative fireplaces that are either sealed or not approved for wood burning. Before ordering firewood, confirm with your landlord or building management that your fireplace is functional and approved for use. EPA-certified inserts are sometimes required in older buildings. When in doubt, a fire pit on a private patio or backyard is a great alternative!

๐Ÿงฏ

Chimney Safety 101

The National Fire Protection Association recommends having your chimney inspected and cleaned at least once a year โ€” regardless of how often you use it. Creosote buildup from burning wood (especially unseasoned wood) is the leading cause of chimney fires. A certified chimney sweep can identify cracks, blockages, and creosote buildup before they become hazards. Your fireplace, your safety.
