The Ultimate Back Yard Fire Pit

Sojoe's Steel Fire Pit is Simply the best quality and style on the market.
this is the original firepit of this style, there are many cheap knock offs around
But they are made from very thin cheap steel that burns out in a season or two


Sojoe firepits are very heavy duty with high quality 3 mm thick cold rolled steel,
easily 3-4 times thicker than the knock offs. The firescreen is made from stainless steel
and will not burn out like the cheap Imitations. Sojoes have a natural oxide finish that
bakes on to a beautiful maintainence free orange-ochre colour, imitation knock offs are painted and the paint burns off to an ugly black peeling finish after the first fire... then they rust...


$425.00 includes cover, firescreen, grill & poker
Free delivery in Calgary area with any firewood purchase .

SOJOE™ is the original manufacturer of authentic steel firepits featuring cut out designs. Quality construction, superior materials, and exacting standards make the SOJOE firepit a product to be enjoyed for many years.

These units can be ordered direct from Raven and shipped anywhere
They can also be seen and purchased at

Prime Douglas Fir
Firewood

Seasoned for 3 years

Premium Product !

Heat Value 20.65 BTU
heat rating very close to birch

Doulgas fir is a very highly rated firewood. In places like BC and the Pacific Northwest , firewood users will often choose Doug Fir over Birch . Fir has almost the same BTU output and is long burning like Birch. The main reason people like it is that it burns nicer than birch if the birch is not perfectly dry . There is a lot less ash with Fir..birch produces a lot of ash and more clean up is required.

Moisture content of this batch of Fir is about
17% -20% which is considered excellent or prime.

Highly recommended

Do you use a woodstove for heating ?

If so you should consider using our High Density Energy Logs.

Energy Logs are extremely efficient in producing heat, 2 or 3 logs will burn all night with more BTUs than the best Birch firewood. About 35% more heat value than birch !

These Energy Logs are very dense and heavy with only 3% moisture. They contain no chemicals or binders
and are made from higher BTU wood fibre.

Do not confuse these Energy logs with the saw dust and parrafin fire logs available in stores, those logs are very poor quailty and provide very little heat energy. Energy logs are economical and cost less than birch firewood, a pallet of 240 energy Logs is equivalent to almost 1-1.5 cords of birch at lower cost. Special introductory price of $550.00 per pallet (special subsidized delivery charge is available for this offer) For most people, a full pallet will easily last all winter .

Energy Logs work best in wood stoves and EPA effcient airtight fireplaces. They will work well in older open fireplaces but have a much lower flame than regular cord wood. They can be mixed with regular firewood to increase the heat output and burn time.

Bulk Firewood and Raven Storage Rack Combo

Get your firewood organized, protected and neat looking in one step - call us today

When you purchase this service option, it includes a rugged powder coated steel
firewood storage rack stocked with your choice of firewood. Delivery, set-up of rack
and stacking of firewood is included in your first purchase with a discount on
future refills provided. Optional weather proof cover available.


Makes a great Christmas gift !

Heavy-Duty, Ez Assembly, Lifetime Warranty,
and a Full Sized Cover

All at an unbeatable price! We are featuring 1/2 cord and 1/3 or face cord
sized racks this month.

Firewood that is left on the ground or uncovered is prone to rot, attract bugs and rodents, and can be quite an eyesore lying about your property. By getting your firewood off the ground, air is allowed to circulate and cure the wood to provide a cleaner, more complete burn. Properly cured wood burns more efficiently thus, reducing the amount of harmful creosote build up in your chimney and it burns hotter; a huge plus on those bitter winter days! Raven's WoodEze Rack™ firewood racks are built to last from heavy-duty 2" x 1" rectangular steel and feature a powder-coat finish for rust resistance you can count on. This rack has all stainless steel hardware and a bracket that allows optional fireplace tools to be hung on the end (fireplace tools sold separately).

Raven Firewood is not responsible for these mishaps if the area is inappropriate for supporting the rack.

F.A.Q. For Bulk Firewood

Questions like : What the heck is a cord of firewood anyway ???
One Third of cord also know as Rick, Face or Stove cord is 4' high x 8' long x 16" deep
or about 42.5 cubic feet
A full Cord is 4' deep x 4' high x 8' long
or 128 cubic feet

 

How do you know you're getting the correct amount ? - All of our cord measures are tight packed and are as close to the actual amount as is possible with such a variably sized product as split wood can be. We stack our cord measurements in a specific sized jig (1/3 cord, 1/2 cord, full cord ) by hand then load the firewood for each specific order onto the trucks as a separate unit for delivery to insure consistency.

Tight stacking is NOT common practice in the firewood industry, most resellers will sell you "loose packed" cord measures dumped from a loader or tossed in from a pile. You can't be sure how much you're getting when the wood is sold this way. Many of our customers make the comment,"that cord of firewood you just dropped off looks like a lot more wood than the last load I bought from xyz firewood "

We've built our business on good value, service, quality firewood and accurate measurements.

What is a cord of firewood ? - A "full' cord measures 4 ft. x 4 ft. x 8 ft. and is the official, standard firewood measure. This equals a volume of about 128 cubic feet. But four foot pieces are never used for home heating, and dealers rarely sell four foot pieces. So firewood is not offered for sale in the form of its official unit measurement. This is why buying firewood can be confusing. The most common firewood piece length is 16 inches

What is a face cord ? - Face cords also known as stove cords or furnace cords are an ideal amount of firewood for most homeowners where storage space is an issue . The volume is about one third of a full cord or 42.67 cubic feet. (128 cu ft divided by 3 = 42.67) or a stack with the dimensions of 4' wide x 8' long x 16" deep.

The term face cord is not a officially recognized measurement in Canada, however many people are familiar with this term as it has been in use for well over a 100 years, a face cord or rick of wood is an old term of measurement four feet high by eight feet long and is as wide as the individual firewood pieces, but averages 16 inches deep, A 16-inch wide face cord is equal to about one-third of a full cord. You would fill the back of most extended cab full size pick up trucks ( 6 foot box) with a face cord.

For most people having a few fires each week during cold weather this amount of firewood will last most of the winter. If you feel you require more we can supply in full or half cords as well. Our regular deliveries make it easy to keep a fresh supply available without having to keep an entire year's supply in your yard or garage. Any where on this web site you see the term "face cord" it represents about a third of a cord of firewood.

A word about the price of firewood - A lot of people ask why firewood has gone up in price so much in the last few years. It's complicated, but simply put, the oil boom is somewhat responsible. firewood is a fuel and like other fuels the price is detiremined by demand and avialability. The high cost of petroleum fuel affects the shipping/trucking cost for firewood as does the high prices now being charged by trucking. In southern Alberta, there are not a lot of trees close to market, it all has to be brought in from farther away.

This especially true of birch, we don't have many birch trees close by so it all comes farther up north or from central B.C. . Birch is very heavy and trucking it often costs more the the value of the wood itself. Firewood is a low margin product, resellers are not making a lot just because the price appears to high.

We try to keep a balance on our prices while still offering the best quality and because our firewood is measured accuratly you are getting good value for your dollar when you buy from us.

We also offer 1/4 cords on request for those that need smaller quantities.
