Oakdale Supplies Now Offering White Birch Firewood

June 16, 2011 - PRLog -- Norwalk, Connecticut – United States – June 16, 2011 – Some of the firewood Westchester NY residents are buying this year looks dramatically different from the wood they bought before. Oakdale Supplies, based in Norwalk, Connecticut and servicing most of New York and Connecticut, is now offering white birch firewood, a slow burning and sweet smelling alternative to standard wood, but still considered kiln dried firewood. A company spokesperson explained the difference in the woods and why the pricing is higher for kiln dried firewood.

“Our kiln dried firewood is some of the cleanest and hottest burning woods you can buy,” said the company spokesperson. “By removing most of the moisture through kiln drying, you don’t have to deal with heavy smoke or fires that quickly lose their intensity. If you’re using firewood as a heating or cooking source, that’s important. Our white birch firewood is dried also, and it makes a wonderful fire with pleasant flames to it.  Kiln dried firewood, despite its higher cost, is still the best firewood available.”

In addition to being a provider of firewood for homes and businesses in Connecticut and New York, Oakdale Supplies is also a proponent of green technology and alternative energy. In a recent blog post titled “Lower Your Utility Bills Using Firewood New York” they point out the savings that can be had by using firewood for heat instead of propane, natural gas, or oil. The company spokesperson elaborated on this and stressed the importance of keeping an open mind when discussing energy.”

“Some might claim that relying on wood burning fires for heat and cooking is going back in time,” the spokesperson said, “but they’re not looking at the whole picture. The techniques we use to dry wood now are far more advanced than anything they had in years past and homes are better insulated, so heat can be kept indoors. Less wood is required which makes costs lower. If you have a wood burning stove you can even use wood for cooking as well as heat, cutting a piece out of that high gas or electric bill.”
