Click HERE To Purchase Firewood Online
With winter right around the corner, countless homeowners throughout Jonesboro, GA are stocking up on firewood. If you live in Jonesboro, though, you may assume that driving around and purchasing firewood from a local vendor is the best option. However, you'll get more value by investing in kiln-dried firewood sold here at Cutting Edge Firewood.
Benefits of Buying Kiln-Dried Firewood Online
Buying firewood for your Jonesboro home online offers several advantages over buying firewood locally. With locally sold firewood, you really don't know what you are getting. Many vendors of local firewood are individuals who harvest and sell firewood on the side. Unfortunately, this means they lack the knowledge, experience and skills to produce premium firewood. They often sell softwood firewood that's difficult to light and burns poorly. By purchasing kiln-dried firewood at Cutting Edge Firewood, though, this isn't a problem. All of our firewood comes from premium hardwood varieties like oak, hickory and cherry, so you don't have to worry about receiving low-quality softwood.
Buying kiln-dried firewood online is also easier and more convenient than buying it from a local vendor in Jonesboro. You can spend several hours aimlessly driving around Jonesboro and the surrounding Atlanta metropolitan area in search of firewood, only to go home empty-handed. This is especially true during the winter months when homeowners stock up on firewood to warm their homes. Not only is driving around town tedious and time consuming; it's also expensive. You have to factor the gas and wear and tear that your vehicle takes during these trips. To avoid these problems, consider buying kiln-dried firewood online. Here at Cutting Edge Firewood, we'll ship kiln-dried firewood directly to the doorstep of your Jonesboro home or place of business.

Is Kiln-Dried Firewood Better Than Regular Firewood?
Kiln-dried firewood is absolutely better than regular firewood. The term "kiln-dried" refers to a drying technique in which moisture is extracted from the firewood. When initially cut and harvested from a tree, firewood contains a significant amount of moisture. And when firewood contains too much moisture, you may struggle to light it and keep it lit. There's also the issue of excess smoke production with wet firewood. All wood produces some smoke when burned, but wet wood products a substantially greater amount of smoke due to its inefficient burning process.
Kiln-dried firewood has been processed to remove most of its moisture. While fresh firewood can have a moisture content of 100% or higher, kiln-dried firewood has a moisture content or 10% or less. And the kiln-dried firewood sold here at Cutting Edge Firewood is dried 12 times longer than the United States Department of Agriculture's (USDA's) requirements.
