Best tips for buying firewood in Sydney

There are a couple of things you need to take into account when buying firewood in Sydney and bare in mind you are not always trying to find the cheapest firewood in Sydney.

Where many people get caught up is in knowing the difference between green wood and seasoned wood. Once you know the difference you want to be able to speak with your local firewood provider and make sure they do not over charge you for what you get.

Green firewood versus seasoned firewood

When starting out very few people know what wood is made up of when cut and how that affects whether it will burn in your fireplace or camp fire or not.

Depending on the type of hard wood you are buying, some types of firewood could have over 50% moisture content and this is going to take a long time to burn.

Most people don't realise how much more energy is required to burn moist wood versus properly dried wood, so your goal is to only buy wood that has been properly dried with most of the moisture content removed.

Ideally, seasoned wood should contain no more than 20% moisture, which will then allow your fireplace to burn efficiently and provide a good heat that is long lasting. This way you won't be going through endless kindling to get things started and your fire will burn right through the night.

But what if I can store my firewood at my house in Sydney?

If you can plan ahead and have a place around your Sydney home to store your firewood, then buying green firewood can be a great way to stock up for the winter. In this case you'll be able to buy the green firewood, store it correctly and it will start to dry on its own.

Do keep in mind though that proper drying of your firewood can take 1-2 years, which is why most people buy their firewood from a quality company such as VicsFirewood.com.au as it saves both time and money.

Should I buy cheap firewood or quality firewood in Sydney?

There is only one reason you would want to buy cheap firewood and that is for kindling. Never, ever buy cheap firewood in Sydney because it will simply burn out and you'll have to go back to source some more firewood. Your goal when buying firewood is to buy the best quality within your budget and always focus on buying the quality hard woods, such as red gum, yellow box or grey gum.

Typically the cheapest firewood will be your pine

Some people think it is great to save some money upfront with cheap firewood but you'll end up paying more and more down the track so best to focus on buying quality from the start. It will save you and your family both time and money.
