🌲 Firewood in Orillia: What Every Homeowner Should Know Before Winter

Orillia winters are long and cold, and nothing beats the warmth of a real wood fire. But not all firewood is created equal. Choosing the right type and quality of wood can make the difference between a clean, efficient fire and one that struggles to heat your home. Here’s what Orillia homeowners should know about firewood this season.

1.Why Seasoned Firewood Matters

Here’s what every homeowner should know:

  • Seasoned wood burns hotter and produces less smoke.
  • Wet or “green” wood can cause creosote buildup in your chimney.
  • Properly dried wood gives you longer-lasting heat.

Little Tip:

Stack your firewood off the ground with good airflow — it keeps it dry and ready when you need it.

2.How to Spot Quality Firewood

  •  Grey, leafless branches during peak growing season
  •  Branches that crack or sound hollow when tapped
  • Bark peeling off with exposed dry wood underneath
  •  Mushrooms or fungal growth at the base or on limbs
  •  Hanging or partially detached limbs after a windstorm

Local Tip:

Hardwoods like maple, oak, and birch are ideal for Orillia homes — they burn hotter and last longer on cold nights.

  • Local suppliers often deliver right to your driveway.
  • Consistent load sizes give you the value you expect.Avoid roadside piles — often they’re unseasoned and smoky.
  • Supporting local firewood suppliers also helps Orillia’s economy.

Little Tip:

Always ask how long the wood has been seasoned — properly dried wood takes at least six months.
