      <image:title>Before Ordering - Not All Wood Is Alike!</image:title>
      <image:caption>There are loads of different tree species which means each is very different in its wood characteristics. Wood is broken down into two main classifications, Hardwood and Softwood. Hardwoods are angiosperms. Angiosperm is a scientific name for plants that flower. All hardwood trees flower and encase their seeds in fruits (like apples and acorns). Hardwoods are also deciduous meaning they have a seasonal lifecycle. They lose their leaves in the fall and go dormant in the winter. Their leaves are mostly flat and broad. Because hardwoods grow slowly, they tend to be denser than softwoods and therefore better for producing heat when burning. Softwoods are gymnosperms which means they are non-flowering. Their seeds are found in cones. Softwoods are typically coniferous trees, sometimes called evergreens. They have needle-like or scale-like leaves that do not shed during the winter. Because they grow quickly, they tend to be less dense. Colder climates, like Canada, are ideal for softwood growth. There are some softwoods that are denser than some hardwoods. However, generally speaking, hardwoods are denser. Usually, hardwoods are regarded as better firewood because they are dense, they burn longer and produce more heat than softwoods. Hardwood fires also burn cleaner. That is, they produce less smoke and spark which is great for in-home burning.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Before Ordering - Burning Wood and What You Can Expect.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Burning firewood comes down to two factors: density and water content. The denser and drier the firewood, the better it will burn and the more heat it can produce. The optimal range of moisture content for burning firewood is below 20%. Firewood that is below 20% moisture content is described as Seasoned Firewood and is ready to be burned. Any firewood that is above 20% moisture content is described as Greenwood and needs to be dried before burning. What can you expect to be delivered to your home? Firewood 4 U only provides split hardwoods for in-home burning. In our local PA deciduous forests we have White Oak, Red Oak, Ash, Maple, Birch, Cherry, Apple, Beech, Hickory and a few others.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Before Ordering - Measuring Firewood.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Firewood is measured in a couple different manners but the universal method is in Cords. A cord is the amount of wood that, when "racked and well stowed" (arranged so pieces are aligned, parallel, touching and compact), occupies a volume of 128 cubic feet. This equates to a well-stacked woodpile 4 feet high, 8 feet wide, and 4 feet deep. Wood stored outside will need to be covered to keep rain &amp; snow off. We suggest only covering the top and little way down the sides so air can still circulate and keep the wood dry.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>We offer Greenwood and Seasoned Wood all year long. Our season starts on the first day of spring every year. We work hard to keep our stock piles high for each and every customer. However as the year goes on our seasoned firewood will diminish much faster than our greenwood. So order early and get all ready for the new year!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Greenwood/Unseasoned wood 1/2 Cord = $200 1 Cord = $325 2 Cord = $650 Seasoned Wood. 1/2 Cord = $250 1 Cord = $375 2 Cord = $750 Delivery Options. We can deliver wherever our truck can go. However there is a $25.00 delivery fee over 30 - 45 miles. Keep in mind soft ground and severe angles are not friendly to heavy loads.</image:caption>

      <image:title>After the Delivery - Seasoning Your Own Wood.</image:title>
      <image:caption>If you bought Greenwood you will need to Season your wood before you burn it. Seasoning firewood is the process of drying out the wood or lowering the moister content. For best burning, the moisture content of properly seasoned wood should be near 20 percent. Luckily seasoning only requires time, typically from six months to one year.</image:caption>

      <image:title>After the Delivery - Stacking Your Firewood.</image:title>
      <image:caption>To get the best protection and drying of your firewood there is indeed a certain way to stack it. The best way to stack firewood is on top of a dry platform or raised off the ground, with the cut ends of the logs facing outwards and open to the atmosphere, while ensuring that the logs aren’t packed together too tightly and have sufficient cover if the stack will be subject to rain or snow. The goal is to keep the moisture away but to allow wind and sun to hit the firewood allowing for maximum drying.</image:caption>

      <image:title>After the Delivery - When Is Your Firewood Seasoned?</image:title>
      <image:caption>It doesn't smell like wood. Most of the woody scent you get is caused by moisture. It's dull in color. Seasoned wood should look gray. It's not heavy. Water makes up as much as three-quarters of the weight of a green piece of wood. The ends have cracks. As the wood dries out, it becomes more brittle. The bark is missing or comes off easily. When the moisture goes, the bark usually goes with it. It sounds hollow when you hit it against something.</image:caption>
