FAQs – Maxim Brookly Firewood

Maxim Brookly firewood is a leading provider of firewood to Southern Ontario. Our product is harvested for both indoor and outdoor fires and is available in different sizes and volumes. As a 100% Canadian-owned company, we proudly source our wood from sustainable Muskoka and Bancroft forests and provide firewood delivery services all over Ontario Cottage Country, Toronto and the GTA.

Our hardwood is suitable for fireplaces, outdoor fires, pizza ovens, and more.

We offer multiple sizes:

  • Cubic Yard Bag
  • Skid of firewood (the equivalent of face cord)
  • Full cord (3 skids of firewood)

We are fully equipped to accommodate larger orders, including truckload deliveries. Our team can also assist you in determining the best size based on your usage needs, whether it’s for home heating, outdoor fire pits, or commercial use like restaurants.

Our face cord (1 skid) consists of approximately 37.3 ft.³ of firewood and is about 1/3 of the full cord. This amount provides a steady supply of firewood for the season. Perfect for moderate usage or for those looking for a manageable amount of firewood that is easy to store.

We sell high-quality wood that is a mixture of maple, oak, beech and birch wood from forests in Muskoka and Bancroft. Our carefully selected blend ensures optimal burning efficiency and a pleasant aroma for both heating and cooking applications.

Firewood should contain 15 to 20% or less moisture for optimal burning. We air-dry all our firewood and season it for two years to make sure that it has an optimal amount of moisture. This ensures that the firewood will burn more efficiently, producing more heat and less smoke. By ensuring the right moisture content, our firewood also produces less creosote buildup, making it safer for your chimney and home.

Firewood is a renewable source of energy. It does not contribute to global warming, making it an environmentally friendly way to produce heat. Unlike other forms of energy like fuel that produces large amounts of carbon dioxide, burning firewood is carbon neutral. Firewood supports energy independence by reducing reliance on fossil fuels, particularly in rural or off-grid areas.
It produces a lot of heat and can lower your utility bills. You also never have to worry about heating being disrupted by a storm or power outage with firewood. It also adds to the ambiance of a space and creates a cozy and warm environment.

We neatly stack your firewood in rows and deliver it on a skid. It is packaged well so you don’t have to worry about any mess. To extend its quality, we recommend storing firewood in a covered, ventilated area like a woodshed or on a raised platform to prevent ground moisture.

Firewood burns best when it has the right amount of moisture – 15 to 20%. If the wood contains more than this, it will produce less heat and cause more smoke. It can also be potentially harmful to the quality of air and your chimney if burned indoors.
