Stratford questions
Good to know
Do you supply firewood to Stratford?
Yes. Stratford is about 30 minutes west from our stand at 1960 Snyders Road East, Petersburg, Ontario N0B 2H0. Pick up 7 days a week, or ask about delivery on larger orders.
Is the wood properly seasoned?
Yes. All of the wood for smokers, grills and pizza ovens is well seasoned and stored indoors through the winter and spring. Dry wood lights faster, burns cleaner and gives you thin blue smoke instead of a bitter white cloud.
What does it cost?
12" smoking wood splits are $40 a bag, thicker wrist-size splits are $45 a bag, 3"–4" chunks are $17 a bag, 5"–6" pizza oven splits are $20 a bag and bagged hardwood firewood is $15 a bag. Face cords are priced on request.
How do I pay?
Cash, and e-transfer on request.
Do you deliver?
Delivery is an option on larger orders. Call or text Matt at 519-588-1164 for a quote — the price depends on the size of the order and how far out you are.
