Select the Size of Your Order

Each piece of our kiln-dried cooking wood comes split to a standard 16-inch length. This is the ideal size for barbeque, smoking and grilling wood. You can order this high-performance wood in one of the following quantities:

Our 50-pound bag contains enough wood to fuel your next cooking or smoking session.

We also provide pallets of firewood to the finest restaurants in the Chicago region.

Choose Convenient Pickup or Delivery

You can stop by one of our two locations to pick up your wood, or we’ll bring it to you! Pickup is available at our main location in Woodstock, IL, or our lumber yard in Lake in the Hills, IL.

Or, if you’d prefer to have it delivered, please call and let us know where to drop it off. Our drivers take special care to deliver orders to the exact location requested at a customer’s home or business. You will receive your wood as quickly as possible (typically within 1-3 days depending on how far away you are).

Order Extra Split Wood for Smaller Ovens and Smokers

We realize our 16-inch wood is too large to fit in some popular pizza ovens and smokers. But don’t fret if you have an Ooni Karu 12 or Big Green Egg because our friends at Hot Box Cooking Wood have you covered!

Hot Box produces high-quality kiln-dried cooking wood, too. However, they also split the wood into 6-inch and 8-inch logs with an ultra-slim 1-2-inch diameter. These sizes are perfect for smaller pizza ovens, grills and smokers. And the best part? You can get a resealable box of this wood delivered to your door with free two-day shipping!
