BLW Firewood

If you need firewood look NO further!! I have used 3 other companies to get wood in the past only to get bad wood filled with bugs, wet wood that wouldn’t burn and one that showed up 3 days late with what the they said was a cord but was clearly not..BLW is by far the best, no fuss and dry, full cord wood!!! On time and in full. Don’t mess with anyone else, go with Bob!!

I have made three orders since March. Wood was good quality and ready to burn. It's a quality company that does quality work for it's customers. Highly recommend.

We have purchased Maple firewood from Bob Weiss at BLW Firewood for several years. The quality of the wood has always been great. Bob is easy to reach and responsive by email and phone. On time and friendly. Glad we found them .

Excellent! Been doing business with Bob Weise for ten years...he provides the four must haves for any firewood supplier - delivers a true cord plus a little bit, delivers only seasoned wood at about 13 to 15% moisture (easy start, beautiful burn), provides me with multiple lengths to match my two fire boxes delivered to center of driveway properly split and ready to stack...easy to schedule always has wood...this is your Fire wood Guy!

The wood quality is great and the delivery was on time. It was my mistake, but I did not realize that the wood was just going to be dropped off and I would have to move the wood myself. A chord of wood is a lot! I would also recommend clarifying the wood length to assure it fits in your fire pit/place. Otherwise the service was great and on time.

Was told would be a mixed bag of soft and hard wood, aged 2 years. It showed up water-soaked and VERY muddy. Not what we had expected, and could not be burned... after a few days drying, and using an eco-log to start it, the wood does burn and in fact pretty well. Wish they had been candid about it up-front.

This is my first ever review. I am pretty sure that the 2 glowing reviews about BLW shown here are bogus, CHECK YELP!! We wish we had prior to ordering a full cord of wood from this company. The wood arrived as if it had been dredged from the bottom of a lake: totally waterlogged, absolutely covered in mud and filthy. A good portion was rotten. The wood is odd sized, lumpy, not split, there were actual branches, tons of bark. Only my son was here unfortunately when it arrived or we would have sent it back immediately. When we saw it we called the vendor and Bob continued to insist that it is good, dry clean wood that was neatly stacked on palettes, albeit outdoors. Either he is flat out lying, or he is blind. He refused to come back and take back the wood. Fortunately, we only took delivery of half of the cord in this first delivery, and told him we will not take the rest, and are right now cancelling the check. DO NOT ORDER WOOD FROM THIS VENDOR.

Bob Weiss, the owner seemed like a real nice guy over the phone and since I have a small pick-up he said I could swing by and pick out any wood from a very large pile of mixed woods for $150.00. It would have been a great deal, but as soon as I saw the wood I suspected it was still very wet. Bob insisted that it was only wet on the outside and would burn without any problem in my wood stove. I really grilled Bob about whether the wood was too wet to burn and he insisted it was fine. I was right, no matter how hot I got my stove with kindling and some dry wood I still had left over, as soon as I put a piece of Bob's wood in the stove the fire went out, and throughout all the burning of his load wood, I never had more than 20 minutes before I had to rework the wood, adding paper, Fatwood, and more kindling to keep it going. Bob just bought the business and basically it seems to me that Bob has a huge pile of old wood left over that's just taking up a lot of space in his yard and has been rained on for years and he just wants to get rid of it. The price was fine. If the wood was dry, the price would have been great and I a repeat customer. The cost of his main stocks of wood are astronomically high but people apparently are willing to pay it for the really good dry wood Bob does have, for a small fortune. I thought I was getting a great deal, but I got ripped off again.

Fantastic seasoned wood that burns hot and clean!

Way over priced. Was a very messy delivery.

Delivered on time. Bob provided an excellent description of the products over the phone and recommended conifer based on what I was looking for and my fireplace configuration. Love the big, cracklin' fire now that the fall has started! Yes, the wood was seasoned as advertised.

He delivered fire wood and was on time, Romantic Wood as my wife calls it. We need more wood !!!!

Vendor delivered the wood, as promised it was dry and the service was excellent and on time.

He came and delivered the firewood but the pieces were huge and misformed, too big for the fireplace and could not be stacked. Plus I do not think it was a chord of wood and it was much more expensive than the market rate. Unfortunately I was not home when it was delivered and now we have this misshapen way oversized wood that was a total rip- off. I would not recommend this company to anyone.

I lost my wood guy and so went to Angie's List to find a new one. This guy had great reviews. The price seemed very high, but I couldn't find much better. Ordered a cord of maple (which, for you east coasters who are not familiar, is Big Leaf Maple, one of those in-between woods, NOT a proper hard wood) and scheduled delivery. At the price I was paying, I expected a full cord with all pieces 16-20 inches and properly split. He had asked me the max size I wanted and I had said 20 inches. Well, what I got was probably a cord in volume but approximately 20% of it was trash wood. I mean junk. Short, punky, and lots of those chunky triangular pieces that neither stack nor fit between the andirons. When I pointed out some of the short pieces he said "Well, you asked for under 20 inches." The wood was already dumped in my yard. Foolishly, I paid him. I feel really burned.

I used them twice, once four months ago, and once eight months ago. I got a cord of wood each time. They are prompt and good quality.

Great service and I'm pleased with the wood. It seems expensive but I didn't do a lot of price shopping so I can't really comment on that.

Bought bundles of hardwood for alternate heat during power outage. Be prepared. | |Bob was professional and kind, his location is close. Looking forward to continued services.

As I have never used wood as a prime source of heat, I ran out of wood on Monday, Dec 23rd. Mine was a rather frantic call to Mr. Weiss, as the weather is supposed to get very cold. Mr. Weiss assured me that he could deliver on Tuesday at 9am. Now, this is Christmas Eve, and not only did Mr. Weiss show up exactly at 9am, he brought more than I had ordered, specifically cut to fit my very small iron stove. Very professional gentleman, and I will be using his service in the future! Thank you very much for your prompt delivery!

Called BLW Firewood on a Saturday and asked for a quote on a cord of mixed firewood. Bob answered the phone, described the wood he had available. I asked when he could deliver, thinking it would be a week or two out. Instead, he said he could deliver it the next morning at 10 am. He showed up on time and placed the wood right where I wanted it so I could get it under cover. The wood is as described, is split into easily handled pieces that fit my fireplace, and burn well. Bob is friendly and very professional. He had a prepared invoice and had no problem accepting a personal check. I will definitely call him again when I need more firewood.

This is the second year that I've bought wood from BLW Firewood. Yes, it seems pricey, but this is a perfect example of "You get what you pay for." The wood is completely dry, burns hot and long, and never disappoints. Last year, I bought only a half-cord from BLW, and when it was gone, I relied on supermarket bundles and various purveyors of small quantities. That wood often would not light, or not give out heat, or burn up in just a few minutes. It just wasn't the same as BLW's. This year, I look forward to a complete winter of cozy fires.

I almost bought a mixed truckload of Douglas fir and maple wood from someone on a different List. I called the guy and left my number for a call back. Continuing to shop on that other list, I found a $1 per cord advertisement and it was not an ad but a warning from a customer who was ripped off by a delivery that was Douglas fir and it was only about 2/3 of a cord for $275 delivered. So I joined Angie's list and phoned BLW Firewood which has been in business since 1983, and explained to Mr. Bob L. Weiss in Burien, what I needed. I needed the smaller lengths for the potbelly stove and a little larger cut for the manufactured home fireplace. I believe Mr. Weiss of BLW Firewood gave me much more wood than I was entitled to have, in the sizes I needed. My neighbors confirmed my suspicions. I need to phone Mr. Weiss to say "Thank you." It is beautiful wood. It seems a shame to burn clean wood that has such rich and beautiful color. I think I received the deal of the century! I look forward to seeing Mr. Weiss whenever I need wood in the future. Thank you for having Mr. Weiss on Angie's List

Excellent. No complaints at all!

It was spendy, and we had to stack the wood ourselves. The would, though seemingly seasoned, was incredibly wet and we've had issues keeping it lit. While Bob himself was very friendly and helpful, for 650 bucks I anticipated the wood being stacked and dry.

The man (owner), was very descriptive of types of wood and how they burn, cost of each type he offers and price per cord. I decided on a cord of maple. Very expensive but it is a hard wood that burn hot and has less smoke and no sap! That's the part i like! We set a delivery date and he came a few minutes early, dumped the wood exactly where i wanted it. The wood was cut in perfect sizes and i got a great cord of wood.
