Pay the Bills - Firewood

Pay the Bills - Firewood is a mixed hardwood supplier serving Gaylord and surrounding counties across northern Michigan. Whether you heat with wood or need firewood for seasonal use, the team handles delivery logistics across a 20-county service area including Antrim, Charlevoix, Grand Traverse, and Otsego counties.

They sell firewood by the face cord in bulk quantities, making it straightforward to order exactly what you need without guessing at volume. Face cords are a regional standard (42 inches tall, 128 cubic feet when stacked), so confirm depth when ordering to match your storage space. Mixed hardwoods typically deliver 20–26 million BTU per cord depending on species and moisture content—oak runs 24–28M BTU, hickory 27–30M BTU. The target is wood seasoned to around 20% moisture; properly stored hardwood reaches this in 6–12 months.

Beyond standard delivery, Pay the Bills also rents firewood processors, useful if you have logs to split yourself or operate a small firewood business. This service appeals to landowners managing timber or those wanting to process their own supply at lower cost.

With a 4.7 rating across customer reviews, the business demonstrates consistent service. Delivery reach extends well beyond Gaylord into Alcona, Alpena, Benzie, Cheboygan, Crawford, Iosco, Kalkaska, Leelanau, Manistee, Montmorency, Ogemaw, Oscoda, Presque Isle, Roscommon, and Wexford counties—covering most of Michigan's northern region.
