While there are many good places to buy firewood on the web, we are not one of them...

 

Dear Don't Move Firewood

 

I'm interested in getting a cord of firewood delivered to Centerville within the next week or so.  What are your prices and available delivery dates.  Please let me know.  Many thanks.

 

Yours,

Steve

 

Dear Steve-

 

We don't sell firewood, but I want to take this opportunity to talk about how to BUY firewood. You want a cord delivered to your house. You are worried about the delivery date and price. That's all great- but you should also be asking, "Where is your wood from?" If you are in Centerville, and the wood is from just over the town line into West Centerville, then it poses far less of a risk to your tree and forests than if the firewood was sourced far away. In fact, ideally, it should be 10 miles or less from your house- with 50 miles being the very farthest. There is nothing wrong with using the internet to find a firewood dealer- just ask the right questions and use common sense!

 

Yours,

 

Don't Move Firewood

 

NOTE: The town names are changed in this blog post- but we really did get this question on our Contact Us form!
