Just
Fatwood
To
- Canadian Customers only!
Well
folks, we did everything in our power to set
up a distributor to ship to in Canada.
No luck. They couldn't get the Longleaf in.
Having said that, there is a company called
Canadian Tire in Ontario that is advertising
fatwood. It looks like the real deal.
Hope this helps!

is nature's perfect kindling. |

Nothing
is added. Fatwood comes from the stumps
of Longleaf Yellow Pine, and is found
in the core of the stump where the pitch
(that golden goo you find on pine cones)
moves into the tree to keep it healthy
and bug free. Our fatwood comes from Honduras,
from managed forests that are grown for
lumber. When the remaining stumps are
harvested, three trees are planted for
each stump removed. Managed forests are
planned out fifty or more years in growing
cycles, with growth at all stages ongoing.
As a renewable resource for kindling it
is almost perfect. The Longleaf is not
a "rain forest" tree, but all trees need
to be cherished and sustained to ensure
clean air and a viable eco-system.
Folks, FATWOOD is not a generic term like soda pop. It is not stump wood from any pine tree. If it were, then the BIG 3 (Bean, Orvis and Plow) would be getting their product from a timber company in the USA much cheaper than their cost for Longleaf Yellow Pine, the tree that originally produced the turpentine for the USA (in much the same way that Maple trees are tapped for syrup). So, buyer beware. Resist all the feel-good stories and get the historical product you believe you are paying for, Longleaf Yellow Pine.

"We ordered fat wood from you last year as a Christmas gift for friends, and would like to order it again this year. I am wondering if we can place an order now for a December delivery. I must tell you that we had previously ordered the wood from Plow & Hearth, but our friends said yours was far superior."

Thank you for the kind words, and YES, we are pleased to take dated
purchase orders. We charge your card the day we ship.
"This is the second time I have ordered from you. I am very happy with the fatwood and will be continuing to purchase from you. . . We use our fireplace almost daily as soon as one of us gets home from work and the fatwood has never failed to start a fire. Even on some pretty wet wood".

"Just a quick thank-you for your rapid service as well as the quality of the product you provide. My wife's comments should make you smile: "Honey, since you switched to Green Apple EVEN I can make a fire!!!!" Now that's high praise from the woman I married 30 years ago who's NEVER been able to make a fire consistently.

"Hi
Susan. It's that time of year again, had
a little bit of your fatwood left over from
last year. As it has been for the last
3 years, it lit and started the fires well.
I burn around 12-15 face cords of wood a year,
so that's a lot of fire starting".

What
is the history of fatwood?
Fatwood
comes from the Longleaf Yellow Pine, trees
originally prolific South from Virginia to
East Texas, -into Mexico and south to Central
America . They tend to thrive in shallow,
sandy soils. The wood is so spectacularly
strong that it is, to this day, used to make
some of the most beautiful wooden floors I
have ever seen. You can google the
flooring if you want to see it. Very
pretty stuff. Over the decades the
trees were drained, like Maple trees, for
their pitch, to make turpentine. One
of the most interesting things about Longleaf
is that when it first begins to grow it looks
like a bush, and will stay that way until
the ground is burned and the grasses and other
competing water users are gone. Then
the new bulb can begin its growth into a tall,
very beautiful and elegant tree.
Since it is no longer possible to set grasslands
on fire in the USA to create a forest (called
a savannah), the Longleaf has lost much ground
to its softwood cousins the Loblolly and Slash.
Longleaf doesn't grow in other parts of the
country, except when brought in for
landscaping. This might also answer the question
about why, from time to time, you will get
a piece of fatwood that has burn spots. It
was probably in the field, before the stump
was pulled, when the grass was set on fire.
