As the cold Montana winters set in, getting warm becomes a priority. For many families, this means burning wood in their fireplaces and stoves. But firewood isn’t only for winters – you can’t do without it if you make backyard barbecues or embark on a camping trip. Either way, you need perfectly dry, ready-to-burn wood. Firewood bundles in Bigfork offer a convenient and sustainable way to stay warm and have fun.

What is a Firewood Bundle?

A firewood bundle is a collection of cut, split, and seasoned firewood neatly packed for easy handling and storage. At Flathead Father N’ Son, we make them available in three amounts – 0.75 CF, 1 CF, or 1.5 CF (cubic feet). There are approximately 10 logs of 3-4-inch diameter in the 1 CF package.

Our firewood bundles in Bigfork contain pieces of lodgepole pine, Douglas fir, and larch (also called tamarack) wood. Thanks to the blend of woods of different densities and burn qualities, you can easily start a fire and get the most joyous experience lasting 2-3 hours. We provide logs 16-18 inches long, which is ideal for wood burners and campfires.

What We Offer

Our high-quality firewood bundles are always available for pickup in Bigfork. We can also deliver them to your doorsteps, and if you order 75 bundles or more, we’ll do it at no extra charge (the offer is valid for deliveries within the service area).

Thanks to convenient firewood bundle sizes, you can buy just what you need for your fireplace or firepit. You don’t have to pay more for a large amount and then store excess wood in your backyard. And if you require burning wood to keep your home warm for the entire winter, we are glad to offer our firewood in cords and face cords. A single cord delivers 128 cubic feet of wood, which is equal to 128 one-cubic-feet bundles. It is a budget-friendly and hassle-free way to maintain a comfortable temperature, cook, and have fun whenever you want.

Our lodgepole pine, Douglas fir, and larch logs are harvested in the Montana forests. We use only dead trees to turn into logs. This approach helps maintain a healthy population of trees in the area, while giving saplings more space to grow.

We also make sure that all our firewood is properly seasoned with ideal moisture content to burn cleanly and efficiently. We don’t use kilns to dry our logs since they give off carbon dioxide and other harmful emissions. Instead, we let the sun take care of seasoning. Within 2-3 years, the excess water evaporates naturally until it drops below 20%. After that, we harvest, cut, split, and pack our firewood bundles. What you get is 100% sustainable, ready-to-use burning wood.

Firewood Bundle Wood Types

As we have mentioned, three types of wood constitute our firewood bundles in Bigfork: lodgepole, Douglas fir, and larch. Here is what they bring in terms of heating ability and comfort of use.

Lodgepole

Lodgepole is a fast-growing pine native to Montana. This ubiquitous tree in the forests of Flathead Valley is a perfect solution for everyday fires. It is relatively denser than other pines. As a result, it is able to provide higher heat outputs and longer burning times.

Overall, using lodgepole is a delight for all your senses. Rich in sap, it emits a sweet coniferous scent when burning. Moreover, it fills the air with joyous crackling sounds. Finally, its bright orange flames are a real treat for the eyes.

Douglas fir

While used extensively in construction, it is one of the much-loved options for making fires. It is because it is denser than most conifers, which results in hot, long-lasting flames. Moreover, this wood is not sappy. This means it won’t crackle, pop, or spit hot sap as you burn it. On the contrary, it burns steadily and produces a bed of hot coals perfect for warming by the fire. Also, it gives off a pleasant, mild pine scent. You can use it even for open-fire cooking if you don’t mind a slight pine-like aftertaste.

Western larch

Larch, otherwise known as tamarack, is a deciduous Montana conifer that turns golden yellow in the fall. While being technically a softwood, it is, in fact, denser than some types of hardwoods. With denser wood come longer burning times and very hot flames.

Of the three bundle wood types, larch gives off the most pop and crackle effect. It is also prone to producing sparks. For these reasons, we recommend using it outdoors. If you still would like to burn it in a fireplace, you’ll be glad to know that it gives off little smoke and leaves behind little ashes. It will also fill the room with a strong yet pleasant aroma.

A mix of three conifer species creates the ideal blend of firewood. The softer pine is great for kindling, Doulas fir gives steady heat, and larch provides dramatic pops. Together, they look, smell, and burn perfectly whether in a fireplace or outdoor pit.
