Oak firewood is a popular choice for many people who use firewood for heat. The wood is very dense, heavy and provides some of the highest levels of heat for your home. If you are looking for the “premium” firewood, oak is the choice for you. Oak firewood has probably the greatest reputation in Wisconsin, it is by far one of our top sellers. It burns much longer than most other types of firewood because of it’s density, meaning with oak firewood you will not have to stock up your fire as often as other firewood types.
Oak firewood can also be used for cooking, bbq’s and smoking meats due to the lovely aroma it gives off. Although oak is not as popular for cooking as firewood’s like Hickory or Cherry, it is still considered to be a very thorough firewood for cooking. It mostly depends on what you are cooking and the chef’s choice.
Is oak the best firewood choice? Depending on who you ask the answer could be yes. The oak is an abundant tree that can supply a lot of great, dense, long burning firewood. If you burn oak firewood you will not be disappointed!

When everyone else is out for the season before it even starts, Dry Firewood Depot has wood. Yes, it is more expensive but very few have kiln dried wood. I have used cheaper wood and it never burned like this wood. I am so happy with the quality and service. During the blizzard of 2024 I’m enjoying a great fire! Thank you!!

Great Delivery Service and the wood is awesome !!!!!
Bill Gomilla –
Delivered quickly and dropped off where requested. Wood is very dry and bug free. Kindling really helps to get the fire started. May have to go with a harder wood next time. Burns great but fast.

Bought 2 full chords of mixed hardwoods. Wood was well seasoned, burns great, and the pieces were the proper size. Wood was delivered on time. Awesome!

These guys are the BEST! The wood burns beautifully and customer service is second to none!! We ran out of wood and didn’t think we’d be able to get a delivery because of the snowmaggedon. They did deliver and stacked as promised!!! We will never use anyone else. Well worth the money!

The quality of wood, the ease and reliability of burn, the delivery and the professionalism are unrivaled. We have bought wood from a lot of vendors over the years, but will use Best Burn going forward.
