Hawkes and Taylor Firewood

Hawkes and Taylor Firewood delivers mixed hardwoods to homes throughout Phippsburg, Maine. Whether you're heating with a fireplace, wood stove, or central furnace, having reliable firewood sourced locally cuts down on sourcing headaches and transport costs.

Mixed hardwoods—typically oak, maple, and hickory blends—offer solid heat output. Oak delivers 24–28 million BTU per cord, while hickory ranges 27–30 million BTU per cord, making both excellent choices for Maine's long heating season. The key to maximizing that heat is moisture content: aim for wood seasoned to 15–20% moisture, which burns efficiently and produces less creosote buildup in your chimney.

Hawkes and Taylor handles delivery logistics so you don't have to source and haul. A standard cord measures 128 cubic feet (4 feet high, 4 feet deep, 8 feet long), though many buyers start with half-cord or quarter-cord loads to test burn quality or fit storage space. When you call to order, confirm delivery timing and whether the wood is stacked or drop-delivered—this affects unloading time and storage setup.

In Phippsburg's climate, quality firewood becomes essential by November, but spring and summer orders often have shorter wait times. Their 5-star rating reflects consistent delivery and wood quality that local customers rely on.
