Firewood Deliver - Birch, Cherry and Oak Kiln-Dried Face Cords - October 2026

The wood-burning fireplace season is rapidly approaching.  Don't tell the dahlias that, but it is a reality that I'm actively preparing for around here.  And, that starts and ends with our annual firewood delivery.  This year, we once again had three face cords of kiln-dried firewood delivered:  One each of Birch, Cherry and Oak hardwoods.

Since 2021, I've been buying our firewood from The Grove in Sugar Grove.  Their prices are fair and their wood has been clean, dry and nicely split.  

They dumped the load on our driveway and we got busy moving it back to the racks.  Filling the racks on the screened porch (one of each wood), the sideyard racks and the little side stoop that is under cover on the side of our house.  

Here are a few photos of the delivery and the full racks (for consumption check-in purposes, of course). 

The racks on the side of the house are full.  Left is Oak.  Right is Cherry.  I need to get the wood that is currently on top of the racks indoors/under cover, but I left it there for now:

On the side stoop, the rack is full of Birch.  And, the left side is Birch.  Middle stack is Oak.  Down the stairs is a mix of all three.  

And, here are the three racks inside the screened porch.  Birch on the left.  On the right has Oak on top and Cherry on the bottom. 

This past year, I burned through about 98% of the wood.  Between the fireplaces and the pizza oven, we used it all.  Here is a post from August (two months ago) showing how little firewood was remaining.
