Do I have to pay anything upfront?
No. We never ask for deposits, Zelle transfers, CashApp, wires, or any payment before you see the wood. We do accept Venmo — but only at the moment of pickup or delivery, once the wood is in front of you. If someone online claiming to be us asks for a deposit or an upfront Venmo, it isn't us. Hang up and call the real number.
How much does a cord of firewood cost in Utah?
A full cord (4×4×8 ft, 128 cubic feet) of seasoned firewood in Utah typically runs $250–$450, with hardwood on the higher end and softwood on the lower. David Craner Firewood sells hardwood by the load (priced by load size) and a $25 softwood bucket of roughly five bundles. Call (801) 372-6039 for a current Utah County quote.
Do you deliver firewood to my city?
Yes — we deliver to Lehi, Saratoga Springs, Highland, American Fork, Eagle Mountain, Pleasant Grove, Draper, Orem, and Provo. Our yard is at 2406 N 840 W in Lehi. Call or text (801) 372-6039 with your address and we'll confirm the delivery window and price.
What's in a $25 softwood bucket?
Roughly five bundles of seasoned softwood in a sturdy bucket — enough for a solid backyard fire, a weekend of campfires, or a few sessions in a home pizza oven. Great as kindling if you're also running hardwood. Quantities are approximate; what you see in the bucket is what you get.
Is aspen (local softwood) good firewood?
Aspen-type softwood is great firewood when properly dried. It lights easily, burns clean, produces little ash, and leaves minimal creosote. It burns faster than hardwoods like oak, which makes it ideal for fire pits, camping, shoulder-season fires, pizza ovens, and starting hardwood. Pair it with hardwood for the best all-night Utah winter burn.
What's the difference between hardwood and softwood firewood?
Hardwood (oak, maple, hickory, fruit woods) is denser, burns longer, and puts out more heat per log — best for overnight fires and primary home heating. Softwood (aspen, pine, fir) is lighter, lights faster, and burns cleaner but faster — best for fire pits, camping, pizza ovens, and kindling. Most Utah homes use both.
Can I burn softwood in my pizza oven?
Yes. Properly dried softwoods like aspen, pine, and fir are widely used in home pizza ovens — Ooni, Gozney, backyard builds — because they reach high temperatures quickly and affordably. Many pro pizzerias prefer oak for longer bakes, but for a home 60–90-second Neapolitan pie, well-seasoned local softwood works great.
How is the hardwood priced?
By the load. Call us with your truck or trailer size and what you're trying to do with it — heating a home, running a wood stove, cozy weekend fires — and we'll quote a fair price before you drive over.
How much firewood do I need for a Utah winter?
A Utah home heating primarily with a wood stove typically burns 3–5 full cords per winter. A home using a fireplace occasionally for ambience burns ½ to 1 cord. A weekend fire-pit user in Lehi or Saratoga Springs may only need a few softwood buckets for the whole season. Call us and we'll right-size your order.
How do I know if firewood is truly seasoned?
Seasoned firewood has cracks (checking) on the end grain, feels lighter than green wood, sounds hollow when two pieces knock together, and has bark that's loose or falling off. A moisture meter should read 20% or less. If it hisses or bubbles when it burns, it's still green. Everything on our yard is split and seasoned.
Can I pick up firewood at your Lehi yard?
Yes. Our yard is at 2406 N 840 W, Lehi, UT 84043. Pickup is by appointment so someone's here to load you. Bring a truck or trailer. Call (801) 372-6039 first — don't just drive over. Pickup is usually the cheapest option for a $25 softwood bucket.
Is it legal to bring firewood into Utah from another state?
Only if it meets Utah Department of Agriculture heat-treatment and labeling rules. Utah restricts out-of-state firewood to stop pests like emerald ash borer and spongy moth. The state's official guidance: "buy it where you burn it." Under 10 miles from source is ideal, under 50 acceptable. All our wood is local Utah wood.
Why shouldn't I just buy from Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace?
You can, but read the Utah Nextdoor horror stories first: fake deposits, short cords, green wood sold as seasoned, burner-phone sellers who vanish. We're the opposite — a real Lehi family, real yard at 2406 N 840 W, real phone (801) 372-6039, and you pay only after you see the wood.
