Not sure how much you need?

A single fire burning most evenings gets through roughly 3–4 cubic metres over a Canterbury winter.

This year’s pine was felled in March and has been under cover since. Tested at 16–18% moisture. If you want wood for next winter, order in spring and we will deliver it green at a lower price.

Questions we get

How dry is dry?
Under 20% moisture, tested with a meter rather than guessed. Wet wood burns cold, tars your flue, and is the main reason people think their fire is no good.
How much is a cubic metre?
Stacked, it is a cube a metre each way. Thrown loose in a heap it looks like more. We sell stacked measure and stack it for you, so you can check.
Will it fit down my drive?
The truck needs about 4 metres of clear width for loads of 4m³ and up. Smaller loads come on the ute and fit almost anywhere.
Can you stack it?
Yes, within 20 metres of where the truck can park, at no extra charge. Beyond that we will still do it, we will just have a chat about it first.
Do you take card?
Card on delivery or bank transfer. No deposit needed.

What people say

Ordered at ten on a Tuesday, stacked by the back door Thursday morning. Actually dry, unlike the last lot I bought off Facebook.

— Gareth, Halswell

The calculator on here is the reason I rang. Every other place makes you fill in a form and wait two days to find out the price.

— Moana, Rangiora

Third winter running. Turns up when they say, stacks it neatly, never once tried to sell me more than I needed.

— Sue & Peter, Sumner

Rang about a half load for a wood-fired oven. Sorted a bag of manuka offcuts for nothing.

— Dev, Lyttelton
