As the winter chill sets in, there’s nothing quite like the warmth of a crackling fire. But before you can cozy up by the fireplace or gather around a firepit with friends, you need to take care of firewood. Logs that are too small or too large, too damp, or smelling funny won’t do. They are more hassle than fun. Instead, you should look for seasoned, conveniently cut wood fuel that burns efficiently and enjoyably. Flathead Father N’ Son is happy to offer firewood bundles in Columbia Falls that check all the boxes.

Unlike cords or face cords, a bundle is a small unit of firewood. If you burn wood every once in a while, you don’t have to keep a large supply in your backyard. A full cord features 128 cubic feet meaning it may take a lot of space. Instead, you can opt for a bundle. Each bundle provides the perfect amount of firewood for your needs, whether you’re planning a romantic evening at home or a lively outdoor gathering. You can easily carry them with your car and store them virtually anywhere. If you value convenience, firewood bundles are just what you need.

A Blend of Nature’s Finest

Northwest Montana forests are abundant in trees of various species, especially softwoods. However, not all of them will do as firewood. Too soft and too sappy woods like spruce or pine will produce too much smoke but not enough heat. To help you make the most of your wood-burning experience, we carefully selected the best local softwoods: lodgepole pine, Douglas fir, and larch (tamarack). Each of these woods brings its unique characteristics enhancing the fire.

Lodgepole Pine Firewood

This widespread wood in Montana’s forests is unlike other pines. It is denser than its peers meaning it burns longer and hotter. Other features we enjoy Lodgepole for are:

  • Quickly catches fire, which is great for kindling;
  • Emits a pleasant aroma;
  • Great for outdoor use due to sparks and lovely crackling sounds;
  • Doesn’t leave much coals.

Overall, this widely-available and inexpensive softwood is prized for creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere.

Douglas Fir Firewood

Another common tree species in our woods. It is denser than Lodgepole, hence it provides a greater amount of heat for a longer time. You will enjoy using it for your campfires for the following reasons:

  • As a straight-grained wood, it easily splits;
  • Leaves nice hot coals but little ash;
  • It burns clean without much smoke;
  • Easily ignites;
  • Gives off a nice smell and cheerful crackling when burning.

Douglas fir is a bit sappy, so occasional popping and sparkling may occur. When used with care, it can be a great option for indoor and outdoor fires.

Larch (Tamarack) Firewood

The hardest of softwoods, larch provides heat output similar to birch. Once you’ve started the fire with softer Lodgepole and Douglas fir, add larch to revel in long-lasting warmth. Other great qualities of this firewood include:

  • lights very quickly;
  • burns very hot;
  • doesn’t produce much smoke;
  • leave a bed of hot coals;
  • creates a nice roaring fire with some sparks;
  • outstanding aroma.

With a blend of three local types of softwoods, we’ve got to create the ideal balance between safety, efficiency, and the soothing sounds of a crackling fire. For your next backyard gathering or a night by a fireplace, there can’t be anything better than our firewood bundles in Columbia Falls.

Many people feel conflicted about burning firewood. Before you get logs for your fireplace, trees have to be cut down. This is not exactly the case when you choose firewood from Flathead Father N’ Son. We never use live trees for our firewood. Instead, we solely rely on dead-standing timber that has died naturally in the Montana forests.

We identify dead and fallen trees that no longer contribute to the forest ecosystem. We then let this wood season on-site for 2-3 years before harvesting. This extended drying process ensures that wood fuel has the ideal moisture content to burn efficiently.

By using only naturally dead timber, we help promote the longevity and health of Northwest forests. It prevents the needless destruction of living trees while providing a productive use for trees that concluded their natural life cycle. This sustainable harvesting practice is what allows us to offer high-quality, eco-friendly firewood to the Flathead Valley community.
