FAQ’s

Is firewood safe and does it harm the environment?
A study of the greenhouse gas emissions of firewood was carried out by the CSIRO in 2003 for the Australian Greenhouse Office. The report from this study Life Cycle Assessment of Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Domestic Woodheating shows that firewood can release less carbon dioxide than all other sources of heat energy. In 2011 this study was updated to include the non-CO2 greenhouse gases, methane and carbon monoxide. This updated study found that the inclusion of these gases made little difference to the original findings.
Is your firewood ready to burn or does it need seasoning?

All of our firewood is fully seasoned and ready to burn. We make sure it’s dry, clean, and split to the right size—so you get maximum heat with less smoke and better value.

What type of firewood do you sell?

We specialise in premium redgum firewood, known for its long-lasting burn and high heat output. All our redgum is split, dry, and fully seasoned, ready for immediate use in fireplaces, heaters, and outdoor fire pits.

Do you deliver firewood in the Ferntree Gully area?

Yes, we offer fast local delivery across Ferntree Gully and surrounding suburbs, including the Dandenong Ranges, Knox, Rowville, and beyond. Simply call us to arrange a convenient delivery time.

Can I pick up firewood directly from your yard?

Absolutely! You’re welcome to visit us in Upper Ferntree Gully to pick up your firewood. We’re located at 1170 Burwood Hwy Upper Ferntree Gully and always have a great supply ready to load.

What makes redgum firewood better than other types?

Redgum is dense, slow-burning, and produces high heat with minimal ash, making it one of the best choices for indoor and outdoor fires. It burns cleaner and hotter, making it cost-effective and efficient.

Do you offer different firewood types or just redgum?

While redgum is our specialty, we also stock mixed hardwood and other seasonal species when available. Drop by or call to check what’s in stock—we’re happy to help you choose the right wood for your needs.

How much firewood should I order for winter?

It depends on your usage, but most homes go through 1 to 2 cubic metres per month in winter. We’re happy to advise based on your heater size, room dimensions, and how often you burn.

Handy Tips

  • Stack your firewood in a dry place so it is ventilated
  • Never burn painted or treated timber
  • Get a log splitter so you can create smaller pieces and stack those at the front of your woodpile.  This makes establishing a fire much easier and quicker.
