If you found this blog and you're not sure where to start, this is the post for you. I'm Kyle. I run Firewood Guys — a one-man firewood delivery operation out of Camarillo, covering Ventura County, Los Angeles County, and Santa Barbara County. I cut the wood myself, split it myself, and deliver it myself. No middlemen, no resellers, no imported mystery wood.
After 25 years in this business, I've written up a lot of what I know. This page organizes everything so you can find what's actually useful to you. Pick the section that fits your situation.
