About Us
Why our wood is special
We initially purchased the property for recreation and discovered an old home site, and massive oak trees that were being choked out by cedars and underbrush, There were a lot of large oak trees that had died - and after we shared it with our barbecue friends for smoking, we decided to start selling seasoned wood to the public. Delaware Bend was a major town in the 1800's so we didn't want these old trees to go to waste.
Over the years we have been clearing sections to create a healthier oak forest, and began selectively harvesting weaker trees. We then partnered with fanatical barbecue foodies to create the proper cuts of smoking wood for the most flavor.
We don't use any chemicals or other treatments on the wood, except to clear the underbrush and keep the cedars under control. This lets the natural flavors of the area come through to your cooking.
Rediscovering the past at Delaware Bend
The area is rich in history, and every trip often produces a discovery of some kind. From old medicine bottles, to a forgotten iris garden that has thrived on its own for decades, the woodlot has lots of secrets
Shortly after purchasing the property, we cleared out the area around the homestead with a remarkable machine that converted the underbrush and cedars to mulch.
