Red Gum Firewood Delivery - How does it all work?

Red Gum Firewood Delivery - How does it all work?

Justin Davey |

We provide red gum firewood to the foothills of the Dandenongs. We cover Harkaway, Berwick, Beaconsfield, Narre Warren North, Narre Warren East, Narre Warren, Officer, Upper Beaconsfield, Dewhurst, Pakenham, Cockatoo, Emerald, Guys Hill & beyond.

Our red gum comes from the best possible suppliers, sourced to ensure it is the best possible quality at the time.  Over the course of a firewood season the quality and availability of firewood does vary.  You should be wary of those selling red gum firewood on marketplaces as cheap poor quality firewood is readily available.  the quality matters.

We check the quality of our firewood for moisture content each delivery, and post to social media the current levels of quality.  We also weigh our red gum firewood to ensure you get what you pay for.  1 Tonne is weighed by our industry certified scales, not guessed by eye.  Here's how we do red gum firewood at the General Store:

Frequently asked questions:

  • How much firewood is in 1 tonne? We weigh our wood, it isn't volume based.  Different moisture content and different density of the wood (trunk vs branch) does mean 1m3 of wood weighs different.  It's also dependent on how it's stacked.  Generally speaking, 1 Tonne of redgum firwewood is roughly the equivelant of 2 cubic meters.
  • When is the best time to buy firewood? Earlier in the season is best.  Wood supply is most plentiful, and the quality of wood is at its driest.
  • What size truck do you deliver in? We have three different trucks we can deliver your firewood in.  A smaller truck capable of up to 1.5T, a medium truck capable of 2T and a large truck capable of 4T.
