It's the wood that makes it good!


We process and kiln dry our wood on premises. Our wood is not a 3rd party, shipped-in product.


We know the duration of heat treatment and temperature of our kiln. All wood is not created equal.


If not done correctly, kiln-dried/heat-treated wood does not always correlate to dry burnable wood.



Whether you are a restaurant looking for a specific wood for grilling or a homeowner who wants an aromatic evening by the fire, A1 Country Firewood can supply your wants and needs.
