Testimonials
I never knew there could be such a difference in the quality of wood. Best of all, the kiln-dried wood was so clean that my clothes didn’t reek of smoke like usual.
Diana
Food-grade kiln-dried single species bundles, and more variety than I’ve seen anywhere else (and I’ve checked everywhere within 2 hours of NYC). They made me promise to smoke with persimmon when I told them I planned to fire pit burn all the stuff I bought.
Bryan
I’ve been getting wood from Wild Logs since they launched. I could not be happier. I get clean consistent burns every time.
John
The best firewood I’ve burned indoors. Steve and Mike are absolute gentlemen. The only place I will buy firewood from now on out.
