Kiln Dried, Pest-Free and USDA Certified.
Our premium hardwood firewood is kiln dried and heat treated. All material is stored indoors in our climate-controlled warehouse, which is designed to prevent mold growth on our firewood. Each firewood bundle is .75 cubic feet and is shrink-wrapped. Each pallet available for delivery holds up to 75 bundles, but partial loads are also available.
Exceeding USDA Requirements
The USDA requires that wood be dried at 140° for 60 minutes, bringing the wood to 18% moisture internally. At Eastern Shore Forest Products, we leave wood in the kiln until the wood reaches 4% to 8% moisture.
THE PRODUCTION PROCESS
Tree Harvesting
We select and purchase the standing trees and utilize our team of certified “Master Loggers” to sustainably harvest the trees.
Splitting & Heat Treating
Wood is then broken down into manageable sized pieces and loaded into kilns where it is extensively heat treated.
Quality Control
Kiln dried wood is presented to our quality control team where only the best cuts of wood are hand selected for packaging.
Bundling
Our high quality premium firewood bundles are inspected and stacked 75 to a pallet.
Packaging
Stacked pallets are then wrapped with a netting wrap to ensure proper air flow.
Storage
Firewood is stored in our climate controlled, food grade facility in Federalsburg, MD.
Our research shows that much of the wood in the marketplace today does not meet the volume that is claimed on the label. Our quality control procedures guarantee that our bundle volume meets our label guarantee.
We are the only wood provider that is manufacturing and storing out of a food grade facility that keeps the product free of insects and eliminates any possibility of exposure to vermin. Our facility in Federalsburg, MD has historically warehoused bread and breadcrumbs for major food brands and we continue all the procedures to keep the facility food grade clean.
