John Bruns Firewood Delivery Big Lake

John Bruns Firewood supplies seasoned mixed hardwoods to Big Lake and the surrounding area. With a 4.1-star rating across nine customer reviews, the business has established itself as a reliable source for firewood delivery in Central Minnesota.

Wood Quality and Heat Output

Mixed hardwoods are the backbone of most Minnesota firewood operations, and for good reason. Oak delivers 24–28 million BTU per cord, while hickory reaches 27–30 million BTU per cord—both substantially higher than softwoods. The key to maximizing that heat output is moisture content. Seasoned wood typically sits at or below 20% moisture, which allows the wood to burn efficiently rather than wasting energy evaporating water. Before ordering, confirm that John Bruns' stock has been properly seasoned (usually 6–12 months of air-drying in Minnesota's climate).

Delivery and Quantity Options

Firewood is sold by the cord—a full cord measures 128 cubic feet, typically stacked 4 feet high and 8 feet long. Many suppliers also offer half-cords and quarter-cords for smaller needs or tighter spaces. Ask about delivery windows and whether the wood arrives loose in your driveway or pre-stacked. Some customers prefer to stack themselves to inspect quality; others value the convenience of finished placement.

Getting Firewood Delivered
