Great place to pickup wood for your pizza oven. They split the wood specially for the oven and you can purchase in bags.

Is it possible to get a half cord or a quarter cord oak delivered to Castro Valley before Christmas, doesn't have to be oak just something that burns clean with mineral smoke? Thanks you!

I have all woods in Stock. Oak / almond / walnut / cherry and madrone. I can do a drop before christmas. But I can't give you an exact date, because I need to find extra space on one of our delivery days. Basically its a wait list. But I can… Read more

Wood is a little wet, not aged properly. It burns, so it's OK, but it's just not aged enough.read more

We burn during the Winter for heat when feasible. We try to use as much fuel as possible from…read moretrimming our trees and seasoning it a couple years. We ran out of ready to burn wood & needed to purchase some in December 2024 to get us through the Winter. Anyone who has had bad experiences with unsavory vendors knows it can be a costly, frustrating experience. They lure you in with deceptive tactics like low prices. Only to find out the wood doesn't burn well and/or less volume of wood than advertised. A neighbor highly recommended Steve Sims Almond Firewood. Based on our recent experience and the load we received, we couldn't be more impressed with them! From start to finish, the entire process of contacting & ordering was super easy. Steve's communication was great, we scheduled the delivery; in our case, Steve was able to deliver next day to avoid some forecasted rain. They were prompt and arrived when promised. The firewood itself was excellent -- well-seasoned, dry, cut nicely into 16" lengths and ready to burn. Nice selection of split and rounds. Easy to light, burns hot with a nice flame and minimal ash. I measured the amount of wood delivered (I've been 'burned' before) I was pleased to receive even more than I ordered. Steve Sims Almond Firewood is an honest family business; a father & son delivering throughout the Bay Area. They've earned a great reputation over the years & take pride in what they do. I wouldn't hesitate using them again. I've had some horrible experiences with flaky & dishonest firewood delivery. My highest recommendation for Steve & son. Spreading the word to my family, friends, neighbors & anyone looking for honest reliable, hassle-free firewood delivery!

Hillerman's Firewood - what a great dependable family business! I have been a loyal customer for 6…read moreyears now. 10 stars from this client! Their well-seasoned almond wood is nicely split and consistently very clean; never caked in mud or debris, and cut uniformly for super symmetrical stacking. I discovered them circa 2019 when I had a stainless-steel liner installed in my chimney for worry-free hardwood heating with my Buck Stove insert. I had called and left a message which was promptly returned by Laura with a very reasonable quote for split, seasoned and DELIVERED almond firewood, and a delivery date within the week. Laura called the day before delivery to confirm the time, and Mark and his assistant arrived right on schedule at 0'Dark:30 to dump my cord of wood as close to my wood storage as possible. This made it SO easy for me to stack it by transferring it with just a few steps, no wheelbarrow needed. Mark's skills at backing into a tight space with close attention to the eaves of the house and overhead wires was absolutely amazing! And the perfectly cut wood in his truck was stacked so tightly and precisely in rows that there was clearly no shortage to my order. This has been my experience every single year since then. I was compelled to share this to neutralize any unfounded negative posts against this honest and reliable family business. They are truly the best people and the best option for your firewood needs each year.

Ordered from them last year, but won't be this year. They…read moreclaim it's all seasoned wood, but I can only report my experience. It could not have been. It would never start easily. It was so difficult having a fire every time. We switched to some true seasoned wood and the difference was amazing! They were very friendly and delivery was prompt and easy. But that wasn't enough.
