Why Now Is the Best Time to Order Firewood in Collingwood
It might still feel a little early to be thinking about cold nights, wood stoves and fireplaces, but anyone who lives around Collingwood and the Town of The Blue Mountains knows how quickly the seasons can change.
One week you’re enjoying a warm evening on the patio. The next, you’re digging through the closet looking for a sweater and wondering whether you actually have enough firewood left from last winter.
Spoiler: you probably don’t.
If you know you’re going to need firewood this fall or winter, ordering ahead can make the whole season a lot easier.
Beat the Fall Firewood Rush
As temperatures start to drop, firewood demand naturally picks up.
Around Collingwood, Blue Mountains and our surrounding communities, that can happen pretty quickly. Homeowners start filling their woodsheds, cottages and chalets get prepared for fall weekends and ski season, and everyone who said “I’ll order some later” seems to remember at roughly the same time.
Ordering earlier gives you more flexibility when choosing your delivery date and helps you avoid the busiest part of the season.
At Seasoned Firewood, we supply and deliver firewood throughout the Collingwood and Town of The Blue Mountains area, helping local homeowners, cottage owners and businesses get ready before the colder weather arrives.
Give Your Firewood Time to Settle In
Even when you’re buying seasoned firewood, having it delivered before you actually need it has some advantages.
You have time to stack it properly, organize your woodshed and make sure the wood is protected from rain and snow while still allowing good airflow.
And around here, waiting too long can mean stacking wood in conditions that are considerably less enjoyable.
A sunny September afternoon?
Pretty good.
Cold November rain blowing sideways off Georgian Bay while you’re carrying armloads of firewood?
Less good.
Make Sure You’re Buying the Right Amount
One of the most common firewood questions is simply:
How much do I actually need?
The answer depends on how you’re using it.
If you’re burning occasionally in a fireplace, your needs will be very different from someone heating their home with a wood stove every day.
The same goes for cottages and chalets around the Blue Mountains. Some customers only need wood for weekends and holidays, while others are burning regularly throughout the colder months.
Think about how often you burned last winter, how much wood you went through and whether you found yourself staring suspiciously at a rapidly shrinking wood pile sometime around February.
If you’re trying to work out how much room you’ll need once your order arrives, our Firewood Storage Calculator can help you plan your space before delivery day.
Ordering a little earlier gives you time to figure that out instead of making a rushed decision when you’re down to the last few logs.
Choose Firewood That Works for Your Setup
Not every fireplace or wood stove is the same.
Firebox size, preferred log length and how you use your firewood can all affect what works best.
Seasoned Firewood offers different firewood lengths depending on the product, including shorter and longer cuts for customers with specific stove or fireplace requirements.
Our 14″–16″ firewood range offers the widest selection, while our shorter 8″–12″ and longer 18″–22″ options are available in mixed hardwood.
You can shop our seasoned firewood online to see the different lengths, species and quantities currently available.
If you’re unsure what you need, try our Firewood Finder. It’ll help narrow down the best log length, quantity and wood type for how you actually burn.
Local Firewood for Collingwood & The Blue Mountains
Buying firewood locally just makes sense.
We’re based in the area and understand the needs of customers throughout Collingwood, the Town of The Blue Mountains and nearby communities.
Whether you’re stocking a woodshed at home, preparing a chalet for ski season, getting a cottage ready for fall weekends or simply making sure there’s enough wood beside the fireplace, we can help you get prepared before winter really sets in.
And if you’ve lived around Georgian Bay for any length of time, you already know that “winter really sets in” doesn’t always consult the calendar first.
Buying locally also means you’re dealing with a supplier who understands the area, local delivery conditions and the seasonal rush that arrives every fall.
Don’t Wait Until the Wood Rack Is Empty
There are two kinds of firewood customers.
The first looks at their wood pile in August or September and thinks:
“I’ll probably need more before winter.”
The second looks at three pieces of wood beside the stove in January and thinks:
“I definitely need more firewood.”
We recommend being the first one.
Your future January self will appreciate it.
Planning ahead means less stress, better delivery flexibility and one less thing to worry about once winter arrives.
