5 Mistakes People Make When Buying Firewood in Ontario

Buying firewood seems simple — until it isn’t.

At Alice Forestry Company, we’ve seen the common mistakes homeowners make across Alice, Round Lake, Rankin, Eganville, Pembroke, Petawawa, Cobden, Beachburg, Westmeath, Micksburg, Killaloe, and Osceola.

Here are five to avoid.

1. Not Confirming the Measurement

Always confirm whether you’re buying a full cord or a face cord.

2. Waiting Until Mid-Winter

Peak demand means limited supply and tighter scheduling.

3. Ignoring Moisture Content

Wet wood wastes heat and creates chimney buildup.

4. Improper Storage

Stacking directly on the ground traps moisture.

5. Buying from Unverified Sources

Know where your wood is coming from. Local sourcing matters.

The right firewood supplier makes heating your home simple and predictable.
