Our firewood owes its uncanny burning power to two factors: dryness and density. If you go into your backyard and chop wood yourself, you won’t start a fire. No matter how hard you try, a fire won’t start because the great outdoors are too moist. You may as well be lighting water on fire. Most companies tick the dryness box with seasoning, a process during which to leave wood in a dry area for several months, after which it’s dry enough to use. But our kiln-drying process is a lot more than enough, yielding much drier wood in only two days.
Starting a fire can only do so much if it burns for no more than an hour or doesn’t provide much warmth in the first place, and this is where density comes in. We use hardwood to make our firewood because hardwood is much denser than softwood. Our firewood burns so hot for so long because it’s made from nothing apart from the best hardwood in Northern Illinois.
As proud purveyors of the driest, densest firewood in Chicagoland, we’re happy to deliver to our most long-term customers in Crystal Lake.
We’ve discussed what makes our firewood so great for heating homes, but it’s also good for cooking. Essentially, we chop our kiln-dried firewood into pieces that can fit in grills, smokers, or devices as compact as pizza ovens. No matter how fiercely winds blow, our kiln-dried cooking wood maintains high heat for hours.
Dryness is an important part of firewood’s performance, making fires easier to light and keep alight, but it also reduces the amount of smoke and creosote a fire produces. A little smoke goes a long way, and creosote complements no dish. Creosote is one of many contaminants our cooking wood avoids. Our wood is also clean enough not to contain any bugs, mold or fungus. We take pride in the premier cooking wood we’ve delivered to residents and restaurants in Chicagoland.
Our hardwood mulch has helped citizens of Crystal Lake demonstrate their commitment to their flowerbeds and gardens. We realize that low prices may tempt you to buy cheap bags of mulch from the hardware store, but you might end up buying bags full of chemicals that harm plants and suck nutrients from soil. Because our mulch is so pure as to contain nothing beyond hardwood, it excels at protecting, nurturing and even visually complementing plants.
If you want to build a strong foundation for your plants the right way with excellent mulch, we’re only a few miles or a phone call away.
