Macatawa Forest Products

Macatawa Forest Products supplies firewood delivery throughout Ludington and the surrounding area. As a regional hardwood supplier, they focus on mixed hardwoods—a practical choice for homeowners seeking reliable heat output and consistent burn quality.

Mixed hardwood cords typically deliver 20–24 million BTU per cord, making them suitable for wood stoves, fireplaces, and outdoor fire pits. Oak and hickory, common hardwoods in Michigan, burn hotter and longer than softwoods, though they require proper seasoning. Look for wood at or below 20% moisture content; green or freshly cut wood produces excessive smoke and creosote buildup in chimneys.

Macatawa Forest Products offers delivery service, which eliminates the logistics of sourcing and transporting full cords (128 cubic feet) or half-cord loads. In the Ludington area, firewood typically costs $150–$250 per cord depending on wood type, moisture content, and delivery distance. Before ordering, confirm whether your supplier delivers stacked and arranged, as some charge extra for placement. Ask about their seasoning timeline—properly dried hardwood may take 6–12 months.

When evaluating any firewood supplier, request specifics: moisture readings (a handheld meter costs $20 and pays for itself in efficiency), wood species breakdown, and delivery windows. Hardwoods burn cleaner than mixed loads heavy on pine or aspen, which sap and spark more readily.
