About Green Mountain Firewood

Green Mountain Firewood (GMF) has carved out a well-earned reputation as a maker of some of the cleanest, most efficient fire logs available today. Based in Marion, Massachusetts, the company was built on a straightforward but powerful idea: take the aromatic hardwood sawdust and shavings left over from the U.S. timber industry — material that might otherwise end up in a landfill — and transform it into a premium, high-performance firewood product.

The result is a fire log unlike traditional cordwood or petroleum-based manufactured logs. GMF logs are made from 100% aromatic hardwood sawdust, compressed and extruded at temperatures between 475 and 600 degrees Fahrenheit. No waxes, no chemical binders, no additives of any kind — just dense, low-moisture wood. The proprietary extrusion process pasteurizes the logs during production, leaving the final product free of bugs, fungus, and mold.

Performance That Speaks for Itself

One of the most compelling aspects of Green Mountain Firewood logs is their heat output. With a high BTU rating that surpasses typical cordwood (oak averages around 5,400 BTU per pound, while GMF logs deliver significantly higher output), they are engineered for efficiency. Each log burns for two to five hours depending on fire size, and they store in roughly one-third the space of an equivalent amount of traditional firewood — a major advantage for homeowners with limited storage.

GMF logs are also notably low-emission. They produce little to no CO or CO2, do not cause creosote buildup in chimneys or flues, and leave behind less than 10% of the ash generated by conventional wood or manufactured wax logs. That makes them a strong choice not just for indoor fireplaces and wood stoves, but also for outdoor fire pits, chimeneas, and BBQ cooking — any application where clean combustion matters.

A Commitment to Sustainability

Green Mountain Firewood's environmental credentials go beyond simply recycling wood waste. In 2022, the company earned USDA certification as a 100% Biobased Product, giving retailers and consumers independent verification that GMF logs contain no synthetic chemicals or additives. That same year, GMF launched its "Buy a Bag, Plant a Tree" initiative, contributing to the planting of over 20,000 trees through U.S. and global reforestation programs. The company has publicly committed to becoming a carbon-neutral manufacturer — a goal that reflects a genuine, mission-driven approach to sustainable production.

Versatile Applications for Outdoor Enthusiasts and Homeowners

Green Mountain Firewood logs are designed to work in virtually any wood-burning application: fireplaces, fireplace inserts, wood stoves, furnaces, fire pits, chimeneas, and BBQ grills. They light quickly (fatwood fire starters are included in kit packs), burn cleanly, and won't pop, spit, or spark — making them a safer and more pleasant experience whether you're heating your home on a winter evening or gathering around a campfire with family.

For anyone who values a natural, no-compromise fire experience — without the smoke, the chemicals, or the mess of traditional firewood — Green Mountain Firewood delivers a compelling, well-engineered solution.
