Post Oak, Mesquite, Pecan & Hickory — air-cured twelve to twenty-four months, never kiln-rushed, for the people who take fire seriously.
For over three decades, Chief Firewood has done one thing and done it right: produce the finest cooking wood in Texas.
From our yard in Smithville, we harvest, split, and slow-season premium hardwood for the people who take fire seriously — backyard pitmasters, championship cooks, wood-fired pizzerias, and restaurants that won't compromise on smoke. No shortcuts, no kiln-rushing. Just Texas hardwood, cured by time, delivered with care.
Every cord is Texas-harvested, split, and cured until it burns clean and eats sweet.
The gold standard of Central Texas barbecue — mild, steady, clean. Lets the meat lead.
Assertive, earthy, unmistakably Texan. A fast, hot burn with big character.
Rich and nutty with a gentle sweetness — a crowd-pleaser that plays with anything.
Classic hickory bite or delicate fruitwood — plus chiminea wood, cut to order.
Most firewood is kiln-dried in days to rush it to market. Ours cures naturally for twelve to twenty-four months — because slow seasoning is what builds flavor.
All timber is cut eco-friendly from Texas hardwood — the right species, at the right time.
As it seasons, the wood develops and retains more lactones and vanillins — the natural sugars behind sweet, clean smoke.
Low moisture means an even burn, far less bitter creosote, and flavor kiln-dried wood cannot match.
Delivered and racked. The workhorse for serious smoking.
Cut for wood-fired ovens — quick to light, easy to feed.
Catches faster and burns hotter, for grills and quick cooks.
Volume pricing for pizzerias, pits, and commercial kitchens.
Consistent species, consistent moisture, consistent flavor — delivered on a schedule so your pit never runs dry. Bulk pricing for restaurants, food trucks, and commercial kitchens across Texas.
