Paid for 3 ricks of Oak. Got about 2 and a half ricks. There was a lot of rotten wood, willow, and red bud. Some wood was cut about 10" long and ind their racks. Some I had to cut down to go in a fire place the can take up to 25". Had to put about an 8th of a rig in the fire pit. I assume a lot of the rotten wood crumbled up an blew away. Find some where else to but wood. read more

Awesome service, the young lady that helped me was very nice friendly, and she smiled a lot. They had a great selection of wood to choose from and they even had a nice young man to put it in my truck. read more

Beware!!! I bought a 1/2 cord of "Texas Hardwoods" from Big John's and picked it up from their yard. Brought it home unloaded and stacked it. I was told that it would be Oak, Pecan and other "Texas Hardwoods". About 75% of what I got was hackberry, and all of it is green and won't burn. Hackberry is okay for a fireplace or fire pit even though it burns faster than true hardwood, but useless to use for cooking. On top of that, ALL of the wood I got is green and will hardly burn. I don't think I'll be going back. read more

It quite usual for me to drive past Big John's several times per month. While you may not drive down 377 much, I'll bet you have walked past a bag of Big John's wood more than you thought. Big John's is the ubiquitous bag wood sitting out in front your favorite grocery store. This review however is for the Big John's mothership on 377, a bit southwest of Benbrook. It's quite amazing to see the amount of wood that is stacked up here. Most of what you see is mesquite, hickory, pecan, and oak for grilling (or smoking). They also pinion (for chimineas). It's quite likely you find these woods in front of the grocery store. Lesser know is that Big John's also has fruit woods, but you have to come here to find it. I have bought both apple and peach wood in the past. I think cherry was even available one time. I would like to say I was buying the wood for me, but I was actually buying it for a neighbor (who rarely drives down 377). My neighbor is quite proficient at smoking things, meats, vegetables, fruits, even cheese (he built his own cold smoker). He swears by the fruits woods, so when the supply runs low, I try to oblige him with a few new bags. If you are into wood grilling or smoking, chances are you already buying Big John's. If you want to try some different woods, it may be worth a call to see what's in the unmarked bags stacked against the office. PS. Not sure of exact hours, but I know they are open Saturday but closed Sunday. read more

See all

Bought a "cord" of firewood. The price is not bad, it is wood, and it will burn, but that's about all that's good. The wood is old. Really old. Extremely dry. About half the load is 1-2" diameter branches. It's a mix of oak, pine, sweetgum... basically junk wood that looks like it was picked up off the ground with a lot of rot and insects. Most of the bark on the spit wood fell off while re-stacking. Ended up with over two yard bags of it. Once I got everything stacked it ended up less than 90% of a face cord. read more

Big John's Wood Products - "Firewood". A lot of small limbs, rot, and dried up leftovers. - Firewood Near Me - Fort Worth, Texas

Been using big johns for backyard and competition cooking for years The pecan is the best If you see some buy it! read more

I have used their product for five years and it has been fair, but priced very well. This past September, their prices went up considerably. will probably start purchasing from other companies that are priced more competitively read more

They are always in stock with the product we need. Prices are comparable to other businesses. A fun drive as well.

Wood is too wet to burn. I just got it from them and it won't burn. I have spent the last 30 minutes trying to get it to burn when it normally takes me about 2 minutes to get a fire started. I'm watching water dripping out of the wood right now. Definitely a rip off read more

My husband just went today to get firewood for the first time. He pulls up, and immediately gets yelled at by an employee screaming they are closed and that employee motions for him to leave. it shows they are still open of course it's the day before Thanksgiving. That employee could have easily said we open on Monday as of now we will not be going back to this business. Terrible. read more

Before retiring I used to drive by Big Johns every day and it was a handy place to stop for firewood on the way home. So I have bought firewood from them for several years. The quality and quantity of their wood has decreased. Wood is wood and it all burns. OK, I'll give you that, but the wood is partially rotted, diseased, has bugs and termite damage. Not what I like stacking in my wood pile not far from the house. The wood is broken off, cut short (10 to 12 inches long), severely bent, and some have short forked off pieces that do not allow for straight stacking, which means you do not get a full count of wood. I'll shop around before making my next purchase. read more

I don't know why I thought this place would improve but, thought I would give them another shot at my business. Once again, extremely rude staff who acts like you're completely ruining their day by simply buying wood from them. The quality of the wood is complete garbage for BBQ, over seasoned, rotten, and full of bugs and worms. Way overpriced as well, don't buy wood here. read more

My wife went to Big John's last winter to get 1/4 cord of firewood. She came home with a bunch of crap wood. Didn't even look like firewood. It was just assorted kinds of crap trees, shapes & sizes that is almost impossible to burn in a fireplace. They took advantage of the fact that she didn't know any better. Buy real firewood from a legitimate dealer. read more

This place is great. I have used Big John's for over 10 years and they have great quality and the price is good as well. My first bag I bought was like most outside a store., Now I live a stone's throw away from the main place on 377 and it;'s great. Drive in pay for the wood drive out. Plus being open on Saturday is awesome in case I underestimated what I had left over from the last smoke! The wood provides a good smoke and slow burn. Always cut just right for the smoker and you can really make a bag last a while. I use their Pecan and Hickory and it provides great flavor. I can't recommend them enough. I have also from time to time used the Mesquite and it's just as good. read more

I enjoy the outdoor bbq's but don't care for the mosquitos, bought Pinion wood and did the trick!

Great place to get wood for your next barbecue. The people there are fantastic. And it's a very short drive from Fort Worth.

I bought this wood from. Kroger in spring Texas and im very happy with this wood. It wasn't wet and Lasts a long time. Will recommend in the future read more

My purchase was a disappointing experience. I drove 24 miles to buy a 1/4 cord (32 cubic feet) of oak firewood. I made the purchase and they brought the wood to my truck on a forklift and loaded it. I took it home and neatly stacked it into a pile 36 inches in length x 36 inches width. When all the wood was stacked, the pile only came to 32 inches high which equals 24 cubic feet or 8 cubic feet less or 25% less than I had paid for. I'll look for another source next time. read more

picked up four bags of pecan wood from grocery store in Amarillo TX, Cut the wood up into smaller chucks with crosscut saw and boy was totally surprised, there was a very large active colony of pecan wood bores, they were in 100% of the wood. I would not buy from these guys again. The Texas Ag Comm well as the Colorado Ag Comm were alerted, that wood purchased which is transported across state lines with bores present, is illegal read more

Wood is nicely cut and aged, the office staff is friendly and they load it for you fast and without damage to your vehicle. Just remember, you will NOT get an actual "cord" measurement....expect to get about a third (1/3) of what a real cord measurement represents. They use a "face cord" approach, where the measurement is based on the length of each piece (about 16 - 18""). So...a True Cord is 4 ft x 8 ft x 4 ft (for a total of 128 cubic ft). A "face cord" is 4 ft x 8 ft x 1.4 ft (about 45 cubic ft). If you want the True Cord measurement (or portion thereof) of firewood, you'll need to get 2-3 X the amount of what they call a "face cord". read more

They sale this wood at my local grocer. It's great wood better than the other brands they offer! I use it for my fire place although it says grilling wood. Also ,their piñón is the best. I love the way it smells. read more
