Wonky Logs
Perfectly Good Firewood. Just Not Perfectly Straight.
These aren’t kiln-dried showroom logs. They’re real-world, arb-sourced firewood in all shapes and sizes, straight, crooked, chunky and everything in between.
If you’ve got the space to season and the patience to plan ahead, this is some of the best value wood you’ll find.

The Softwood Myth (And Why It Won’t Die)
For decades, people have repeated:
“Only burn hardwood.”
But much of that advice comes from old firewood lore and poems from a time gone by.
In many Scandinavian countries, including large parts of Norway, Sweden and Finland, softwood is burned as a primary fuel source. Entire regions heat their homes using spruce and pine.
The real rule is simple:
Dry wood burns well.
Wet wood does not.
Softwood that is properly seasoned:
- Lights quickly
- Burns hot
- Produces excellent flame
- Is perfectly suitable for modern stoves
Installers often advise hardwood only because it reduces the risk of misuse. An uninformed user burning wet softwood may blame the appliance.
But species is secondary.
Moisture content is what matters.
If it’s below 20%, it’s good to burn.
