There comes a time when you experience excellence in working with a product or service provider and you just don't just want to share with your family and friends---you want to tell the world. This is one of those times and experiences that was nothing short of superb! If you need firewood for residential or commercial use (e.g. restaurants, campsites, etc.) this is the place. Remember---you get what you pay for and this is SUPERIOR firewood that has been KILN DRIED. The other guys will bring you seasoned firewood at best, and that has plenty of bugs and pests that will then be entering your home. Seasoned firewood can also have termites or termite nests in it and should never be located near your home. KILN DRIED firewood has none of that, has no moisture, burns cleaner, hotter, and better, and starts much easier. Seriously it is worth paying a little bit more for quality and to protect the inside and outside of your home and chimney. And then the service----Patrick was amazing to deal with and made the entire delivery process and stacking process simple, fast, easy. He was exceptionally professional and hard working and just an all around nice guy. Highly recommend. You will be thrilled! read more

Did a drive by and picked up a few bundles of different kinds of wood. Great selection of different kinds. Ability to buy a single bundle or a larger pile. Pay on the spot from your phone. Wood burns great! read more

I have to say, I don't think it would be possible to get better wood. Burns great! I got all oak and the price was reasonable. They dropped it off in the driveway and had great communication. Will order from them again next year! It's the wood that makes it good... - Cosmo Kramer read more

Holy Smoke Firewood - The wood - Firewood Near Me - Manhattan, Illinois

Have ordered twice from Holy Smoke and just placed my 3rd order of mixed hardwood. Customer service is great, scheduling and payment is super easy. The firewood burns beautifully in my Solo Stove Bonfire fire pit--no popping or embers flying out. Just a nice, hot, clean burn. Love that Holy Smoke helps us make memories around the fire! read more

Ordered kiln dried wood for delivery. Wow!!! Really friendly and helpful driver. He pointed out the types of wood and how they burn (fast or slow) and was quick and clean with the drop off. This is the best wood we've ever ordered. It's so dry and NO BUGS! The wood catches fire so quick. Will definitely order from here again and again. read more

I just received by wood yesterday. 1) the driver was easy to deal with and courteous and fast to get all the wood off truck . 2) I paid a little more than other seasoned wood places . This wood IS BY FAR way better . It's kiln dried I believe. WOW . What a difference. It lasts so long and burns slow . I had no idea . 3 pieces of Wood and a starter log lasted almost 4 hours . 3) the pieces were in excellent condition and smells Awesome. I highly recommend! read more

Nice clean wood and burns great. Timely communication, delivery, and nice guys to deal with.

Friendly and reasonably priced. Wood was clean, organized and ready to burn Burn baby burn read more

Not sure what else they do. But they are very professional when it comes to firewood. The response time to my request to service was very good. They promised clean kiln dried wood- and that's what I got. I requested a call prior to delivery- got it! I asked that they drop it in a particular spot- got it Is their price a little higher than some of the others- yes- but all wood doesn't burn the same. Get burned (pun intended) one time with punky, smoldering wood and you will know what I mean!! read more

Very happy with service and wood last year so I re-ordered this year. I recommend them.

Contacted Holy Smoke last week to schedule a Friday morning delivery. Received confirmation a week in advance for delivery by 10 am. Text them today as no driver contact by 9:45. Reply from them indicated we were put on for afternoon delivery between noon and 4pm. Bought from them 4 other times over the past 2 years...but now this feels like dealing with the cable company. Will go to a different more reliable source. read more

Responsive, reliable and friendly! My husband and I ordered a face cord that delivered last week and couldn't be happier with the quality of the wood and quality of service. We appreciate your business and won't buy wood anywhere else! We will be back! read more

Excellent service. Wood stacked real quick and they wore masks for the drop off. Price seems fair and on par with competition.

I called Saturday February 8, 2020 and they had the wood out by Monday February 10th stacked and covered with the plastic that I left them. This is the second time I have used them and I am very pleased with their service. As a fellow Christian it is nice to see they are not a shy about their faith. I would highly recommend their company to any one looking for great service. TA from Downers Grove read more

I bought wood from Holy Smoke for the first time a couple of weeks ago, because all my other local suppliers were out. I was hesitant, because I like to pick wood up, rather than get delivery because of cost, and they do not offer pickup. To my surprise, their delivery price was pretty much the same as the pick up price elsewhere. It was delivered on time, and I could buy more than my truck can hold. I will be getting wood from them for the foreseeable future. The quality of wood is very high. I use the wood for an outdoor oven, and moisture content greatly affects performance. I was able to save over an hour of preheat time for my oven, and it burned with less ash than I was used too, eliminating the need to clean out the ash mid cook. read more

Had a small amount of firewood delivered yesterday. Great service at a great price. Will use again!

Holy Smoke and Patrick are nothing short of amazing. We just moved here from Florida and contacted Patrick to get a face cord delivered. The wood was delivered and stacked within a day of that call and we couldn't be happier. Good mix and burns slow! In addition, Patrick is professional, courteous, friendly and get's the job done right. Will be calling him again for future business and referred friends to use his company! read more

I've purchase wood from Holy Smoke for three years now. The wood is excellent. It burns clean and is very dry. But while the wood is great, the stacking service provided is outstanding. I just ordered two face cords. I wasn't home when they arrived, but they stacked the wood tight and sturdy, and even set up a tarp I had laying on the ground on top when they were done. Highly recommended. read more

In 2004 I installed a wood burning stove in my house and spent the next three winters trying to find a good, local supplier of quality firewood. Well my luck was so bad that after three tries, I decided to purchase a gas powered log splitter and cut my own firewood from logs I got from a local tree service. Flash forward a decade into the future, I'm ten years older and no longer have the time, ambition, or energy to process the amount of wood I burn every heating season. So once again, I rolled the dice and tried my luck with Holy Smokes Firewood. My first impression was that I hit the jackpot with them. Their firewood was clean, well seasoned, and of high quality heat value species. Oak and Hickory. With all that being said, you must be scratching your head and wondering why I'm giving such a low review. Well, here's why. Two days before the delivery, Patrick, the one and only person I spoke to about my order, called me and asked me if I wanted "restaurant wood" or "fireplace wood". I've never heard those terms used before, so I asked what he meant by that. Apparently, the only difference is that "restaurant wood" is split into smaller sized pieces to burn more evenly in a restaurant's brick oven. Since I heat my house with wood, I chose the larger sized fireplace wood. After the wood was delivered and I stacked it all, I noticed that a significant portion (20%-25%) of the wood fit his description of "restaurant wood". I called him back on August 27, 2018 the next business day after delivery to discuss the possibility that I may have received the wrong. Patrick assured me that I got the correct order, but admitted that I received an unreasonable amount of small pieces. In an attempt to make things right, HE offered to deliver, for FREE, an additional half face cord to make up for the high amount of small pieces. I was very pleased. Well, it's two months later, and I still haven't received that delivery. On October 15, 2018 I called him to remind him of HIS offer. No response. On October 16, I called again. No response. On October 17, I called and politely reminded him of his offer and I told him I would post a negative review on Yelp if I didn't hear back from him by the end of the week. Within three minutes, I got a reply text message saying they would deliver the wood "by the end of next week". Well, that time frame has come and gone, and still no delivery. I just wanted to share this information, and leave the decision to you, if you want to do business with Holy Smokes. If you do, pray that everything goes right on the first try. Their product is excellent, but if there is a problem, my personal experience shows that they will say they will make things right, but don't. I have been waiting for two months now. It's a real shame. If Patrick sticks to his word, I would, WITHOUT HESITATION, place another $700 order with them next year. But right now, with this empty promise, I will have to continue my search for another vendor next season. I give his product 5 stars, but customer service 0 stars. Remember, HE was the one who made the offer. I never asked for it. And if we didn't have the restaurant vs. fireplace wood conversation, I would have never thought of calling him after the delivery. And is HE didn't make the promise to deliver the additional wood as compensation, I definitely wouldn't be writing this negative review. Thank you for taking the time to read this. I hope it was helpful. read more

I have ordered from Holy Smoke 3 times now, and they are reliable, deliver great product, and today had them stack 3 face cords which was done fast and well!! Definitely will order from them again. read more

Holy Smoke Firewood - Firewood Near Me - Manhattan, Illinois

Patrick and his associate are real professionals. There was concern about whether or not where we lived was in the proximity of where they deliver, however, Patrick was tremendously accommodating. They were clean, efficient, and very friendly. Cannot wait to use them again in the future! read more

Holy Smoke Firewood - Stacked perfectly and neatly. - Firewood Near Me - Manhattan, Illinois

Have used them a number of times over the years and recommended them to close friends. Never a bad experience. Reasonable price. Professional and friendly delivery. Good quality firewood and they definitely make sure you get at least the quantity paid for. No mess left behind and on time. What more can I say? It's good wood. read more

The wood is dried - so that is a plus. However, a large percentage of the wood does not meet the requirement of being 16" in length to be a 1/3rd cord (or face cord). It seems the average is around 14-15", some pieces are as short as 12". A small amount does reach 16". The stacking work was good. It was neatly and tightly stacked on my rack to 4x8 - no more than that though. They are much more expensive than a number of other providers who deliver "seasoned" but not kiln dried wood. (almost double in cost) Sure, you can add wood to my purchase. The location is accessible 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Thanks. Based on another reviewers comments, I didn't think they would come back out. I got a call from Patrick who apologized and indicated that a new guy did short cut a few loads of wood and he would more than make up for it -- which they did. read more

The best. Wood is clean and pieces are appropriately long. I've tried a lot of firewood vendors and I've finally found the one that I'll stick with. I'd recommend to anyone! read more

Wood that smokes more than burn. The batch delivered was half wet/rotten wood, and half decent hardwood. Expensive. Poor quality. The 2 stars are for the guys that delivered the wood. Good people and a nice job stacking. Never again! read more

This wood is bar none the best wood we have ever had! My previous experiences with firewood have had me slaving over the fire-stoking, stoking,...No more!!! I love the mix of the wood, the size of the logs, and it burns! We ordered a face cord to try bc we have been "burned" in the past (sorry, I couldn't resist). After one fire, we ordered 2 more! Thanks, HS! read more

I'll buy from them again. They showed up when expected, delivered and stacked a 1/2 face cord (4'x4') and over delivered. The stack was 5'x4'. The guys were quick, left the place clean and were courteous. read more

The wood was great in my smoker. Smells amazing and seasoned right (I don't own a moisture meter but it looked and burned good) I sent Holy Smoke an email after business hours asking if I could buy some oak and have it delivered to my house. Next morning I get a call, we talk about what I'm trying to do, seasoned vs green wood, smaller splits or regular size. I wanted seasoned oak and was planning on using it to smoke meat and fish. Immediately, I could tell they care about the quality of their firewood and gave me a few ideas. By noon that day I had a nice stack of firewood and was all set. Delivery person was friendly and pointed out a few of the different types of trees the wood came from before he left. This was my first time using an offset smoker. I read Franklin's BBQ book and was expecting to have an unpleasant time finding quality firewood. He has stories in there about green wood sold as seasoned and a lot of cruddy stacks where the firewood dealer jips you out of a full cord or whatever you ordered. (I measured the firewood stack i received and got exactly what I ordered). Glad I found Holy Smoke read more

First time ordering wood from these guys and it certainly won't be the last. They were very prompt on my internet inquiry and had wood delivered and stacked with very short notice. The wood itself is the best firewood I've ever burned. Burned hot and virtually smoke free. Thanks for the great service! I'll be recommending you to everyone in our sub division read more

Completely professional and prompt. Excellent quality wood. Tight stack. Delivered ahead of schedule. Finally! .. I know where I can get next years wood from! The 5star reviews are not wrong- I'll be back. Thank you read more

Super expensive & when we asked the delivery guy for a receipt he got pissed and went mute also proceeding to leave out gate open so that we had to go close it ourselves. It wasn't a horrible experience but I think basic customer service and respect was lacking. I'm also just going to look for a better option in terms of price. read more

Holy smoke is the best firewood company we have ever used. They are prompt, courteous, and their firewood is the best quality! Patrick is awesome. read more

Extremely prompt delivery. Terrific stack. There is however noticeable hissing when burning this wood, and some partially-burnt pieces generally remain. (I'm pleased I bought extra so that it will spend the summer drying more.) I also find the wood to be cut shorter in length compared to another company I've used, meaning in essence less wood per cord. That said, service was good, and the wood helped us stay warm during the recent snowstorm. read more

Awesome company! gave me a quote late in the evening, showed up as promised quickly and delivery driver was outstanding. It's been a while since I've been this impressed with a company. Many thanks. read more

Holy Smoke did a great job. Price was good. I had it delivered and stacked. Professional and pleasant. Highly recommended. Will get my next face cord from Holy Smoke. Thank you. read more

Ordered wood for the first time from this company on 3/17/15, and it was delivered to my driveway promptly the next day. A nice mixture of Cherry Oak and Maple, and all quality wood. And a way better price than what you would get at a nursery. Dealt with Dave he is a good guy. Whoever reads this review you need to try this company the next time you need firewood. read more
