Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: What kind of wood do you provide?
A: We provide a high-quality mix of New Hampshire hardwoods (such as Oak, Maple, and Beech). These varieties are known for their high heat output and long burn times, making them ideal for our cold winters.
Q: Is your firewood seasoned?
A: Yes. We take pride in ensuring our wood is properly seasoned to a moisture content by moisture testing that allows for an efficient, clean burn with minimal smoke and creosote buildup.
Q: How much wood is in a “cord”?
A: A standard cord is a stack of wood measuring 4 feet high, 4 feet wide, and 8 feet long (128 cubic feet). We ensure our measurements are honest and accurate so you get exactly what you pay for.
Q: Do you deliver to my town?
A: We deliver throughout Southern New Hampshire. Please contact us with your location for a delivery quote and current lead times.
Q: How should I store my firewood upon delivery?
A: To keep your wood in peak condition, store it off the ground (on pallets or a rack) and keep the top covered to protect it from snow and rain, while leaving the sides open for airflow.
Q: Do you sell green firewood?
A: Yes, when available. We offer green wood for those who prefer to :buy ahead” and season themselves. Please call for current availability and pricing.
☀️ Beat the Heat: Your Summer Firewood Guide
While a roaring indoor fireplace is probably the last thing on your mind during a New Hampshire July, summer is actually the most strategic time of the year for firewood. Whether you’re planning backyard star-gazing nights or prepping for the winter ahead, here is what you need to know.
🔥 Campfire Season is in Full Swing
Summer evenings are made for gathering around the fire pit. From roasting marshmallows with the kids to relaxing after a long week, a great backyard fire requires the right wood.
- Pro-Tip for Clean Campfires: Always use properly seasoned wood for your fire pits. High-moisture wood creates heavy smoke and sparks, which can ruin a perfect summer night and leave everyone playing “musical chairs” to avoid the smoke cloud.
💰 Why Smart Burners Buy Firewood in the Summer
If you use wood to heat your home, waiting until the first frost to order is a risky gamble. Ordering your wood during the summer months comes with massive benefits:
- Bonus Seasoning Time: Buying green or semi-seasoned wood in the summer allows it to finish curing right on your property under the hot summer sun, ensuring a scorching hot, clean burn by the time November arrives.
- Beat the Rush: Skip the hectic scheduling and get your delivery dropped exactly where you want it, well before the snow flies.
At Higher Ground, we don’t just sell wood; we provide the heat for your best memories.
