Oakwood Historic District Firewood

Firewood for Oakwood

Oakwood is Raleigh's oldest residential neighborhood, with Victorian-era homes dating from the 1870s through the 1920s. These historic properties feature original fireplaces built when wood was the primary heat source. We deliver properly seasoned hardwood throughout the district.

Historic Fireplace Considerations

Older masonry fireplaces benefit from seasoned hardwood that burns cleanly. We recommend having your chimney inspected if it hasn't been used recently - many Oakwood homes have chimneys that need attention after years of disuse.

What We Deliver

• Oak - Clean-burning, minimal sparking, excellent for period fireplaces
• Cherry - Pleasant aroma, burns well in smaller Victorian hearths
• Mixed Hardwood - Good all-around option at a lower cost

Delivery to Oakwood

Oakwood's narrow streets and historic character mean some delivery coordination is helpful. Let us know your address when you order and we'll work out the logistics. Most Oakwood deliveries use smaller quantities given typical storage space - quarter-cord or half-cord works well for most homes.
