Hickory Firewood

Hickory is one of the most popular and versatile smoking woods available. It produces a strong, smoky flavor that is perfect for pork, beef, and poultry. Hickory firewood is also a good choice for grilling and campfires. Our hickory firewood is cut to 16-17 inches in length, making it ideal for all types of grills and smokers. It's also kiln dried to 6% moisture content, so it burns hot and clean with minimal smoke. Whether you're a professional chef or a backyard barbecue enthusiast, our hickory firewood will help you take your cooking to the next level.

Is hickory a good burning firewood?

Absolutely! Hickory is one of the most popular and sought-after firewood options available, and for good reason. It offers a number of advantages that make it an ideal choice for a variety of applications, including:

• Clean burn: Hickory firewood burns hot and clean, with minimal smoke and ash production. This makes it a great option for indoor and outdoor fireplaces, as well as grills and smokers.
• High heat output: Hickory is known for its high heat output, making it a great choice for staying warm during the winter months. It is also a popular choice for cooking, as it can quickly and evenly sear meat and vegetables.
• Long burning time: Hickory firewood has a long burning time, so you won't have to add more logs to the fire as often. This makes it a convenient and efficient choice for heating and cooking.
• Pleasant aroma: Hickory firewood produces a pleasant, smoky aroma that is often associated with campfire cooking and BBQs.

In addition to these benefits, hickory firewood is also a natural and eco-friendly product. It is a sustainable resource that is harvested from managed forests.

How long should birch dry before burning?

Birch firewood should be dried for at least 6 months before burning, but preferably 12 months. This is because birch wood has a high moisture content when it is freshly cut. When birch wood is burned with a high moisture content, it produces more smoke and less heat. It can also be difficult to ignite.

Once the wood is dry, you can tell by its weight and appearance. Dry wood will be lighter than wet wood and will have a cracked, weathered appearance.

Seasoning Hickory Firewood

To season hickory firewood, simply stack it in a dry, well-ventilated area. The wood should be covered to protect it from the elements, such as rain, snow, and direct sunlight. Hickory firewood will typically season within 6-12 months, but it can take up to 24 months to season fully.

Here are some tips for seasoning hickory firewood:

• Split the wood into smaller pieces. This will increase the surface area of the wood and help it to dry more quickly.
• Stack the wood in a crisscross pattern to allow for airflow.
• Cover the wood stack with a tarp or other waterproof material to protect it from the elements.
• Avoid stacking the wood directly on the ground. Instead, stack it on a pallet or other raised platform to allow for air circulation underneath the wood.
• Check the wood regularly to make sure it is drying evenly. If any of the wood is still wet, move it to a drier area of the stack.

Once the wood is seasoned, you can tell by its weight and appearance. Seasoned hickory firewood will be lighter than unseasoned wood and will have a cracked, weathered appearance. The wood will also be easier to split and will burn hotter and cleaner.

Hickory Burning Time

Hickory firewood has a long burning time, typically 2.5 to 3.5 hours per log. This is due to its high density and high heat output. Hickory firewood is also known for its slow, steady burn, which makes it a good choice for heating homes and businesses.
