Dry Seasoned Firewood All Year Round
At Donovan’s Firewood, we’ve been keeping Hawke’s Bay, NZ, homes warm since 1894. With over 130 years of experience, we are one of the region’s most trusted names in home heating. As a locally owned and operated business, we take pride in delivering high-quality, low-emission fuel that’s not only effective but also environmentally responsible.
We specialise in fully seasoned firewood and clean-burning coal, prepared using time-tested methods to ensure every load is dry, clean, and ready to burn. Whether you're heating your family home or fueling a multi-fuel burner, you can count on Donovan’s Firewood for reliable warmth, delivered straight to your property with service that stands the test of time.
Firewood That Burns Better
We do firewood the right way — no shortcuts, no green wood. We leave our logs in log form on average for 2.5 years, depending on species. Next we ring it, split it and leave it in large heaps until it is dry. This ensures moisture content is consistently below 20%. That means hotter fires, less smoke, and fewer emissions for your home. Whether you're after a quick-start pine or a long-burning hardwood, we offer a popular Cosy Mix — a carefully selected blend of timbers that delivers the best in heat output, ignition, and value.
