Firewood Supply in Hamilton
Firewood supply in Hamilton lets you put tree removal timber to good use. When we take down trees, we often cut the trunks and large branches into lengths suitable for splitting and seasoning, rather than sending good wood to waste. Depending on the species and condition of the timber, it can make excellent fuel for fireplaces and wood burners once properly dried. Freshly cut wood needs time to season, so we'll be upfront about what's ready to burn and what needs drying.
Availability varies with the work we have on, so get in touch to ask what's available. We can also leave timber from your own tree on site if you'd like to keep it. You'll get honest advice on quantities and pickup or delivery options. Contact us about firewood supply in Hamilton and we'll let you know what we have.

How Our Hamilton Firewood Supply Team Tells Firewood Is Well Seasoned
Whoever you buy from, it is worth knowing what dry firewood looks and sounds like:
The ends show cracks or checks radiating out from the centre.
It feels noticeably lighter than freshly cut wood of the same size.
Two pieces knocked together give a sharp, hollow crack rather than a dull thud.
Bark comes away easily or has already fallen off.
A moisture meter reads low, ideally below about 25 percent.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Answers to common questions about firewood supply in Hamilton. Still have a question? Get in touch.
How long does firewood need to season in the Waikato?+
Seasoning time depends on the species, how small the wood is split and how it is stored. Softwoods like pine dry faster than dense hardwoods such as gum, which can take a year or more. Wood split smaller and stacked under cover with good airflow dries much faster than whole rounds.
How should I stack firewood so it dries properly?+
Stack split wood off the ground on pallets or rails, in a spot that gets sun and wind. Cover the top to keep rain off, but leave the sides open so air can move through the stack. Avoid stacking against house walls, and use the oldest, driest wood first.
Is pine or gum better firewood for a wood burner?+
Both have a place. Pine dries quickly, lights easily and burns hot, but it burns down faster and can be resinous. Gum and other dense hardwoods give longer-lasting heat, but they need longer to season. Many people use pine for kindling and starting the fire, and hardwood for steady heat.
Can I burn treated or painted timber in my fireplace?+
No. Treated timber, such as CCA-treated posts and decking, and painted or varnished wood can release toxic chemicals and harmful smoke when burned. Keep it out of your fireplace and wood burner and dispose of it at a suitable facility. Only burn clean, untreated wood that has been properly seasoned.
What is the difference between a stacked and a loose cubic metre of firewood?+
A stacked cubic metre is wood packed neatly together, while a loose or thrown cubic metre is tipped in a heap, which leaves more air gaps and contains less actual wood. When comparing firewood prices, always ask which measure is being used. We'll be clear about the quantity you're getting.
