Heat with wood? It's time to stock up

Market forces have shifted loggers? attention to harvesting building-friendly softwood tree species this year, and with new, competing demands for firewood-friendly hardwood material, fuelwood supplies in some areas are coming up shorter than usual.

Combined with predictions for more traditional winter weather than recent mild winters, it?s time to stock up if you heat your home with wood.

?Demand for firewood pulp logs is strong,? said general manager Tim Neff of AJD Forest Products in Grayling. ?We have a waiting list from large firewood processors for production.?

If your local sources have waiting lists, there are different options available to purchase or harvest fuelwood. Some sources include:


* *Firewood Scout *? Search listings of local firewood producers [ [link removed] ]
* *State forests* ? Fuelwood collection permits for select state forest areas may be purchased for $20. Get more information at Michigan.gov/Fuelwood [ [link removed] ].
* *National forests* ? visit the Hiawatha National Forest [ [link removed] ],?Huron-Manistee National Forest [ [link removed] ]?or?Ottawa National Forest [ [link removed] ] websites for fuelwood collection information.

If possible, use wood sources close to you to avoid transporting firewood over long distances, which can spread damaging forest pests and diseases.
