There’s nothing better than a warm fire at the end of the day — whether it’s gathering around your backyard firepit, roasting marshmallows, or cozying up inside by the fireplace. But if you’re not careful about the type of wood you bring home, you could be inviting more than warmth into your house.
Low-quality or improperly stored firewood can carry pests like termites, ants, and beetles. Once inside, those pests don’t always stay in the woodpile — they can spread into your living space, causing headaches and even costly damage. The good news? Choosing quality kiln-dried firewood keeps your fires pest-free and your home safe.
The Hidden Risk of Cheap Firewood
That pile of “bargain wood” on the side of the road might look like a deal, but it can come with hidden risks:
Termites & Carpenter Ants – These insects live inside wood and can move from your firewood pile into decks, garages, or even your home’s structure.
Beetles & Borers – They may not bite you, but they can chew through wood and spread to other wooden structures.
Spiders & Other Hitchhikers – Stacked logs are the perfect hiding place for spiders, earwigs, and centipedes.
Once they’re in, it’s hard to control where they go. What started as firewood can turn into a pest problem that needs a professional pest control company to help.
Why Kiln-Dried Wood Is Different
At Campfire Woodfuel, we only provide kiln-dried firewood. That means our wood is heated to high temperatures in a controlled kiln, removing moisture and eliminating pests. Here’s why that matters:
Pest-Free Guarantee – The heat treatment kills insects, larvae, and eggs before the wood ever reaches your home.
Cleaner Burn – Kiln-dried wood lights quickly and burns hotter, leaving less creosote in your chimney.
Less Smoke – A drier log produces less smoke, which means fewer irritants and a more comfortable fireside experience.
Longer Shelf Life – Because it’s dry and clean, kiln-dried wood can be stored without worrying about rot or infestations.
Protecting Your Home (and Your Peace of Mind)
Even a small stack of infested wood can cause problems if stored near your home. Kiln-dried wood takes that worry away — giving you peace of mind every time you build a fire. Instead of wondering what might be crawling out of your logs, you can focus on enjoying the glow, the crackle, and the moments that matter.
Fires Without the Worry
When you choose Campfire Woodfuel, you’re not just getting firewood — you’re getting wood that’s safe, reliable, and ready to burn. No pests, no hassle, no compromises.
Because the only thing you should bring inside with your firewood… is warmth.
