How to compare quotes for firewood

Timing your firewood

Timing changes what you pay for firewood. Demand peaks around holidays, seasonal deadlines and the start of the busy season, and prices follow. Booking in a quieter window is one of the few levers that lowers the figure without cutting scope.
