State-of-the-Art Posch Firewood Processor

We use a Posch Firewood Processor, the only one in Ontario. This cutting-edge machinery is top-of-the-line in firewood processing and has been a game-changer for firewood production, handling everything from cutting to bagging. It offers maximum production, feeds logs automatically, and saws each one to the desired thickness using a WIDIA saw blade or the harvester chainsaw depending on the desired log thickness. This specialized machine offers multiple splitting systems: standard, multi, and vario.

  • Standard: Contains a plug-on splitting knife that produces up to eight billets per cycle.
  • Multi: A hydraulically adjustable splitting knife producing 18 billets per cycle.
  • Vario: X-shaped splitting knife produces various pieces with 5 to 15 cm edge lengths.

RECEIVING TREE LOGS

The process begins by receiving sustainably sourced high-quality wood from the Bancroft and Muskoka forests. The logs are delivered and prepared for firewood processing.

CUT

Our Posch Firewood Processor cuts each log based on the diameter of the log.

SPLIT

Log splitting is essential in ensuring that the firewood is properly seasoned, easier to store and work with, and burns more efficiently.

KINDLING SEPARATION

This separates small pieces that are easily combustible and needed to ignite the fire from the rest of the firewood.

BAGGING

Kindling can take up to 10% of bagged firewood weight. By removing the kindling, we deliver 10% more firewood than our competitors who do not separate the two.

DRYING

We air-dry firewood for two years and place it on the skids to ensure it dries properly, does not develop mould, and contains no more than 15-20% moisture.

MOISTURE METER TESTS

We use a moisture meter to test for optimal moisture levels.

DELIVERY

Our team makes things convenient for you by delivering your firewood to your doorstep.
