This isn’t your crummy local gas station wood
Our kiln-dried Red Oak cooking wood and firewood is sustainably sourced from Paso Robles, California, and provides consistent heat output and minimal smoke, making it the preferred choice for amateur and professional chefs and those who love the outdoors.
CountryCraft's premium cooking wood and firewood is placed into large, high-tech specialty kilns (or ovens) to heat treat the wood and reduce the moisture content below 20%, which ensures a quick and easy light-up and a hotter, more efficient burn. This is not only better for cooking but also more environmentally friendly, as it results in less ash and fewer pollutants.
Whether you're firing up a classic Neapolitan pizza, smoking brisket or sitting around a fire pit, CountryCraft firewood provides a long-lasting and consistent temperature throughout the cooking process. We offer a variety of cooking wood and firewood cuts including 5”, 8”, 12” Chunks and Bark Bits suitable for a wide range of pizza ovens, smokers, BBQs and fire pits. The essence of Central Coast’s finest oak will surely elevate your cooking and open fire experiences.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is kiln dried wood better than seasoned wood?
Kiln-dried wood is better than seasoned wood because it has a lower moisture content, typically below 20%, resulting in a hotter, cleaner, and more efficient burn.
Our wood is placed into large, high-tech specialty kilns (or ovens) to heat treat the wood and reduce the moisture content below 20%. This means less smoke, fewer creosote build-ups in your chimney, and easier lighting.
Kiln drying also eliminates pests, mold, and mildew, ensuring a cleaner and safer wood for your home.
How much wood should I order?
This is dependent on how much you use, of course!
If you're anything like us and you're out cooking all summer long, you'll want to start with 2-3 boxes to ensure you have a sufficient supply.
We also offer subscriptions so you don’t have to worry about keeping your wood stocked and can focus on perfecting that next recipe.
What equipment can I use your wood with?
We offer a range of cooking wood and firewood sizes to ensure we can fuel everything from our portable pizza oven to your built in backyard fire pit.
