Nothing says “winter” like the crackle of a wood-burning fire, surrounded by loved ones with a steaming mug of cocoa in hand. When Denver’s frosty temperatures roll in, having high-quality firewood is the secret to staying cozy and creating that perfect winter atmosphere. Creative Tree & Stump LLC are dedicated to making your winter warm and stress-free with our premium firewood and expert tree services.

To help make the most of your fireside moments, here’s a complete guide to buying, storing, and using firewood that will keep your winter bright and snug.

Choosing the Right Firewood

Not all firewood is created equal. Choosing the right type of wood for Denver’s dry, chilly climate makes a significant difference in both warmth and cost-efficiency. Here’s what you need to know:

1. Hardwoods vs. Softwoods 

• Hardwoods like oak, maple, and hickory burn slower and hotter, making them perfect for long, cozy evenings. Though slightly pricier, they’re worth it for the consistent heat output. 

• Softwoods like pine and spruce ignite easily and burn faster. These are better for quick, short bursts of heat or starting out a fire.

2. Seasoned and Dry Firewood 

Properly seasoned firewood burns more efficiently, producing less smoke and creosote buildup. Look for firewood that’s been dried for at least 6-12 months. Here’s how to identify it:

• Dry firewood tends to have cracks at the ends. 
• It should feel lightweight and sound hollow when tapped together.
• The bark will likely peel off easily.

At Creative Tree & Stump, we take pride in offering only well-seasoned, high-quality firewood, perfect for Denver winters.

3. Local and Sustainable Matter

Supporting local businesses not only strengthens Denver’s economy but ensures your firewood is well-suited to the climate. Our firewood at Creative Tree & Stump is sustainably sourced and eco-friendly, protecting both your home and the environment. Pro Tip: Avoid wood that’s infested with pests or mold, as it can cause headaches (literally and figuratively) once inside your home.

Storing Firewood Like a Pro

Preserving the quality of your firewood is just as crucial as choosing the right type. Here’s how to correctly store your investment to keep it dry and pest-free throughout the season.

Elevate and Cover 

• Store firewood off the ground to prevent moisture and pests from settling in. A firewood rack works wonders. 
• Use a cover to protect the wood from snow or rain, but make sure there’s airflow to prevent rotting.

Keep It Close, But Not Too Close 

• Your main firewood pile should be stored at least 20 feet away from your home or shed to avoid pest issues. 
• Keep a smaller, ready-to-use stack near your fireplace or firepit for convenience, but rotate this often to ensure proper drying.

 Why Sustainable Firewood Practices Matter

With Denver’s gorgeous forests and pristine environment, it’s vital to source firewood responsibly to protect the ecosystem. Here’s why you should prioritize sustainable firewood practices. 

• Promotes forest health by reducing dead or fallen trees that can fuel wildfires. 
• Protects Denver’s air quality by ensuring firewood burns efficiently with minimal smoke. 
• Supports long-term tree regeneration and biodiversity. 

We ensure that all our wood comes from sustainable sources. We actively participate in eco-friendly tree services, so your warmth doesn’t come at the planet’s expense.
