The Firewood Guy

When I camp at the Kern, I stop in and buy Wood here. Jeff is a great guy. Be sure to call ahead of time. Otherwise they might be gone fishin when you get there. Much better than grocery store wood (It burns much faster). You can stop by and buy a wheel barrel full or ½ a cord and have him deliver it to the campsite. Sometimes I just don’t want to waste time foraging for wood when I am on Vacation. If I am with a big group I don’t want to restrict people from putting too much wood on the fire. We cook with the coals of the fire and never need Charcoal or Propane.

Camping in the Kernville-​Lake Isabella area? Got wood on a cold morning? Well, the Firewood Guy has got you covered!
First of all, almost every campground in this area prohibits bringing outside firewood into their camp because of insect pests and agricultural disease. Did you know that? Second, when you’ve got your Jeep packed to the roll bar with camping gear and food for the weekend, the last thing you want to throw in there is a bunch of heavy, dirty, bug-​infested wood from your back yard. Third, have you checked out firewood prices at the grocery store for a few sticks of shrink-​wrapped pine lately???
The easiest solution is to simply call The Firewood Guys. They have lots of good, well-​seasoned hardwood, primarily almond, which makes for a nice, hot, long-​lasting fire with a decent aroma. They will also throw in some pine logs as starters if you need that. In addition, they know all of the local campgrounds like the back of their hands and will deliver. It really couldn’t be any easier.
So save the space in your car for the important things, like your dog, or maybe your wife and give the Firewood Guy a ring when you get to your campsite.

Jeff was fantastic to work with and really helped me get settled. Didn’t plan to move to the area in the dead of winter, but that’s what I ended up doing. Jeff to the rescue! I’m all toasty and warm now, thanks to Jeff & his almond wood.

This is a very local review obviously but this guy knows what it takes to run a solid business. To often in a lake community it is hard to get services you can trust, businesses you can rely on, people you can count on. I ordered a cord of almond and he delivered it right on time– As a matter of fact, 5 minutes early– Just how I like it. He is friendly and his staff work their butts off!
The Firewood Guy is trustworthy and honest– He will not rip you off like other people in this area. Whether you are a local or a weekend camper– Stop by his place to get your wood on. He’ll treat you right!

NO longer will us poor campers, looking for a low-​cost weekend in the wilderness, have to cough up $ 7 – 8 for a bundle of twigs!
Jeff The Firewood Guy is one of the nicest guys you will meet. He threw in free kindling AND loaded up all the wood in our trunk.
There are a bunch of options as far as firewood:
–wheel barrow (soft wood) $ 20
–wheel barrow (hard wood) $ 25
–regular bundle (6.50)
Of course, if you’re looking to recreate Burning Man at your campsite you can get a cord at a pretty reasonable price.
Basically, Jeff The Firewood guy is the guy to see when it comes to your firewood needs… no ifs ands or buts about it.

If you are driving to or past Lake Isabella as you head to Sequoia National Forest for a car camping trip, then I highly recommend you wait to purchase your firewood from the Firewood guy in Bodfish, CA a short distance off the highway. We purchased $ 10 of firewood which equated to two bundles one that we burned through during the night and the second which we lit as a morning fire.
The «Firewood Guy» needs to improve his branding a little on his roadside signage. Immediately in front of his woodyard he simply has a sign hand-​painted that states «Firewood». His woodpiles are behind «The Mine Shaft» so stop there.
