WISCONSIN MIXED HARDWOOD FIREWOOD
FOR HOME HEATING & OUTDOOR FIRES
Wisconsin Mixed Hardwood Firewood for Home Heating & Outdoor Fires
Mixed hardwood is the everyday workhorse. It is the versatile, economical wood that delivers dependable heat for indoor and outdoor fires alike, the wood stove on a cold night, the backyard fire pit, the weekend bonfire, the pizza oven. An ash-based blend of Wisconsin hardwoods, screened for quality, cut to 16 inches, and kiln-dried down to 15% so it lights easily and burns clean off the truck. Not the specialty pick for one job, the reliable all-purpose pick for nearly all of them, at the best value we sell.
Why Choose Mixed Hardwood Firewood?
- Versatile, All-Purpose Wood One wood for the whole property. Home heating, wood stoves, fire pits, bonfires, and pizza ovens. Mixed hardwood handles nearly every fire you light without buying a different cord for each.
- The Most Economical Choice Our base product and our best value. Reliable hardwood heat without paying a premium for a single-species specialty wood. The practical pick for everyday burning.
- Reliable, Steady Heat An ash-based blend runs roughly 20 to 24 million BTUs per cord, varying with the assortment. Solid, dependable warmth for the home and a hot, even fire outdoors.

- Honest, Screened Blend Mostly ash, with locust, maple, walnut, elm, and other Wisconsin hardwoods rotating through. We name what is in the mix instead of leaving it vague, and we screen it for quality.
Mixed Hardwood Firewood for Home Heating & Outdoor Fires in SE Wisconsin

Every cord arrives screened, cut to 16 inches, and kiln-dried to 15%, ready to burn off the truck. Most homeowners burning regularly plan on a half cord to a full cord per season.

What's in the Mix
Most sellers list "mixed hardwood" and stop there, telling you nothing about what is actually in it. We do the opposite. Our mix is mostly ash, the backbone of the blend, with locust, maple, walnut, elm, and other Wisconsin hardwoods rotating through depending on what comes off our select cuts and land-clearing loads. That variety is a strength, not a shortcut. A screened hardwood blend gives you reliable, all-purpose heat at the best value we offer, every species in it is a true hardwood, and every batch runs through our commercial screener so what you get is consistent and clean. Naming the blend honestly is how we beat every competitor's vague listing. Need one species for a specific job? See oak for long overnight heat, hickory for smoking, or cherry and birch for fireplace ambiance. For everything else, mixed hardwood is the all-purpose answer.
Mixed hardwood is built for heat, not flavor, so it is not the pick for smoking or flavor cooking. The assortment can include species that add no flavor, or that are not ideal for it, like locust. If you are cooking for taste, choose a single species instead, see our best wood for cooking guide.
The exception is the pizza oven, where mixed hardwood shines. A pizza oven only needs clean, hot heat, not smoke flavor, and that is exactly what this blend delivers.
Why Kiln-Dried Mixed Hardwood Burns Better
Mixed hardwood is our base product and our best value, but value does not mean cutting corners. The same kiln, the same 15% standard, and the same screening that go into our single-species cords go into every cord of mixed hardwood. The result is dependable, all-purpose heat that lights on the first match and burns clean, indoors or out, the moment it comes off the truck.
Reliable, All-Purpose Heat
An ash-based blend that runs roughly 20 to 24 million BTUs per cord, varying with the assortment. One dependable wood for the home, the wood stove, the fire pit, the bonfire, and the pizza oven, instead of a different cord for every job.
The everyday workhorse24 to 32 Hours in Our Kiln
Every cord of mixed hardwood runs 24 to 32 hours in our own commercial kilns at 265°F, down to 15%. No guessing, no air-drying gamble. It lights on the first match and burns clean and hot the moment it comes off the truck.
Kiln-dried in-houseBug-Free, Burns Clean at 15%
265°F kiln heat exceeds the USDA threshold for sterilization, eliminating ash borer larvae, mold spores, and beetles. At 15% moisture you get minimal creosote and more usable heat from every split. Safe to stack indoors.

7 Steps to Delivering the Best Firewood
Every cord of mixed hardwood we ship goes through seven discrete, audited stages — all handled in-house at our New Berlin, Wisconsin facility. Most competitors stop after step two.
Direct-Sourced from Wisconsin Loggers
All of our mixed hardwood comes directly from Wisconsin DNR select cuts, land clearing jobs, and mill surplus. No brokers, no out-of-state wood. Every load is sorted to true hardwoods on arrival, so the ash, locust, maple, walnut, and elm in the mix are all the real thing.
Multitek Processor — Cut & Split On Site
Every mixed hardwood log is cut and split in-house on our own Multitek firewood processor at our New Berlin, Wisconsin facility. The Multitek produces uniform 16-inch splits at consistent diameter — the same size, every piece, every cord, year-round. No outsourced processing, no variation between loads. You get the same split in January that you get in July.
Kiln Dried In-House at 265°F
We operate our own commercial Kiln-Direct kilns on site in New Berlin, Wisconsin, running mixed hardwood at 265°F for 24 to 32 hours per batch. Dried down to 15%, USDA compliant, WDATCP certified (HT#2019086). Most firewood sellers buy wood dried by someone else. We dry it ourselves.
Stored Under Cover on Concrete
After kilning, every cord of mixed hardwood moves into our covered, concrete-floor storage facility. No ground contact, no weather exposure. This protects the 15% moisture certification from kiln to delivery — the same number that leaves our kilns is the same number that arrives at your door.
Commercial Firewood Screener
Every batch runs through our in-house commercial firewood screener before it touches a truck. Dirt, bark debris, undersized splits — removed by machine, not by eye. With a mixed hardwood blend this matters most: screening is how we guarantee a clean, consistent, all-purpose product on every order, the kind our 20+ restaurant accounts depend on.
Purpose-Built Delivery Fleet
We built our own delivery trucks from the ground up, with compartments sized to the exact cubic footage of every product we sell. When you order a face cord, that compartment holds exactly one face cord. No estimating, no eye-balling, no padding. Most firewood companies load by weight or by sight. Our trucks make it physical. What you order is what fits. Full stop.
Delivered Ready to Burn
Your mixed hardwood arrives dried, screened, measured, and ready to burn off the truck. Every step — sourcing, drying, storage, screening, loading, and delivery — is handled in-house by our team. No subcontractors, no hand-offs. Same-week scheduling available throughout SE Wisconsin. Optional stacking service available at checkout.

See what our clients say about us
Good prices for all amounts of wood, and the half face cord of mixed hardwood lasts my wife and I most of the winter for the price. Customer service is quick and friendly and scheduling always goes smooth. The guys that drop it off are clean with the delivery. Best value firewood around. Will be a customer for years.
Read More →We are using it for our outdoor wood-fired pizza oven and it burns so clean. Lights fast, holds a steady fire, and none of the heavy smoke or popping we had with our old supplier. The mixed hardwood is dry and consistent every single delivery, and the price is right. Exactly what we needed.
Read More →Super dry mixed hardwood and ready to burn. First match, every time. We go through a lot of it in the backyard fire pit and the occasional bonfire and it is perfect for it. Called and placed the order with a friendly gal who answered all my questions, then they delivered exactly when promised. Great all-around wood. Highly recommended.
