American Woodyards
About American Woodyards
American Woodyards is a full-service firewood and specialty lumber supplier serving Raleigh and the broader Triangle Area. Whether you need seasoned hardwood for your fireplace, kiln-dried logs for consistent burning, or green firewood for longer storage, they stock eight hardwood species including ash, cherry, hickory, maple, oak varieties, and pecan.
For homeowners burning firewood in the Raleigh climate, hardwood selection matters. Oak delivers 24–28 million BTU per cord—ideal for extended heat output through the colder months. Hickory burns hotter still, reaching 27–30 million BTU per cord, making it excellent for all-night fires. The shop carries both red oak and white oak, plus ash and maple for mixed-burn flexibility. Pecan and cherry appeal to those seeking aromatic, specialty-grade fuel.
American Woodyards handles the logistics that make firewood convenient. They offer delivery across Raleigh, Cary, Apex, Durham, Chapel Hill, Pittsboro, Wake Forest, and surrounding areas—including Morrisville, Garner, Knightdale, Zebulon, and Fuquay-Varina. Self-load options suit budget-conscious buyers, while full-cord delivery works for those stocking up. They also stock kiln-dried firewood, which reaches the 20% moisture content sweet spot for efficient burning without excessive creosote buildup.
Beyond firewood, American Woodyards supplies specialty lumber, custom-cut logs, mantels, furniture slabs, and table tops—making them a one-stop source for woodworking projects and home restoration.
With a 4.6/5 rating across 77 reviews, the business demonstrates consistent reliability. To request a quote, order delivery, or discuss wood selection for your heating needs, call (919) 851-0073.

"I am thrilled to be enjoying a nice stockpile of your kiln-dried wood here in the cold. I really appreciate your team's hard work with the big rush here before this ice storm. I noticed some other reviewers making hurtful, outrageous claims about pricing and greed. I bet those type of people probably from up north and work at a computer job (or perhaps are a Realtor(R) or some other soft job like that) and have zero idea how hard it is to bring consistent quality product to market in a high cost area like Raleigh. If it is so easy then they can easily do it themselves for cheaper, right? Bravo to you and your team for serving this area and bringing us the best wood one can buy!!!"
"Used to be the place to go to. Great dried wood, easy to drive in and pick up but they just keep raising the prices more and more every year. Almost identical prices for quantity if you bought a couple of $10 bundles from a grocery store. Too bad they got greedy."
"Glad I found this place. Been using their kiln dried wood in my fire pit for 2 years now. I pick up by the pound and usually call before heading over to ensure the wood is available. Will try the delivery option in the near future. 3/7/25...first delivery and everything was great. Good company, communication and product."
"Always the best wood and customer service from a very hard working local family business! Give them a try…you won’t be disappointed with the quality or service."
"My wife and I were looking for lumber to build a large dining room table. The team at American Woodyards were very helpful in explaining our options and hunting through their inventory until we found five lengths of ambrosia maple. They were very patient with us and answered every question. Definitely went above and beyond. Will go back again and recommend to anyone looking for something special. Updated 4/1/19: Table completed, many thanks to American Woodyards for help with the table top, Dan C. for his epoxy skills and Bob Pickard of Bull Durham Fabrications for building the steel legs."
