Firewood in Southern California

Tree Pros Inc. provides a variety of firewood species, including hardwoods like oak and maple, and softer woods like pine. Hardwoods burn longer, produce more heat, and create less creosote buildup, making them ideal for heating and cooking. Softwoods ignite faster but burn quicker and are better suited for kindling. Selecting the right firewood depends on your specific needs—whether it’s for long-lasting warmth, ambiance, or quick fires. Our experts can guide you on the best choice for your fireplace or stove based on your preferences and local climate.

Seasoned firewood has been dried for at least 6-12 months, reducing its moisture content to below 20%. This ensures a hotter, cleaner burn with less smoke and creosote buildup in chimneys, which can cause fires. Tree Pros Inc. carefully seasons all firewood by storing it off the ground and allowing air circulation to dry the wood naturally. Using properly seasoned wood improves combustion efficiency, reduces pollution, and protects your fireplace or stove from damage.

The amount depends on your heating needs, wood-burning appliance efficiency, and usage frequency. Typically, one cord (a stack measuring 4’x4’x8’) covers a season for average use. For occasional fires or supplementary heating, half a cord may suffice. Tree Pros Inc. helps estimate your needs based on your home size, climate in Chino, and heating habits to ensure you order the right quantity without waste or shortage.

Professional suppliers guarantee properly seasoned, pest-free, and sustainably harvested firewood. Tree Pros Inc. sources wood responsibly, avoiding invasive species and ensuring legal compliance. We also provide reliable delivery and stacking services, saving you time and effort. Buying from professionals means you get quality firewood that burns efficiently and safely, protecting your health, property, and the environment.

Firewood should be stored in a well-ventilated, covered area, elevated off the ground to prevent moisture absorption and pest infestation. Avoid stacking wood directly against walls or fences to allow airflow. Tree Pros Inc. recommends storing firewood with the cut ends exposed to the sun and wind to aid drying. Proper storage preserves wood quality and readiness, ensuring optimal burning performance when needed.

Using green wood is discouraged as it contains high moisture, leading to inefficient burning, excessive smoke, and creosote buildup, which can clog and damage your chimney. Tree Pros Inc. advises against burning green wood indoors. Instead, we provide seasoned firewood that ensures safety, efficiency, and cleaner air quality inside your home.

Creosote is a flammable, tar-like substance formed from smoke and unburned wood particles that accumulate inside chimneys. Burning wet or resinous wood increases creosote buildup, posing a fire hazard. Using dry, seasoned hardwood reduces creosote formation. Tree Pros Inc. supplies high-quality firewood that minimizes creosote risks, enhancing safety and reducing chimney maintenance needs.

High moisture content in firewood reduces heat output because energy is used evaporating water instead of producing heat. Wet wood causes smoky fires, more pollution, and soot deposits. Tree Pros Inc. ensures moisture content is below 20%, which optimizes combustion, generates maximum heat, and limits smoke, providing a safer and more pleasant fire experience.
