Buy firewood online: top 6 sites in 2026

In brief:

1. The online firewood market is split between specialist e-commerce, marketplaces and national multi-energy distributors.
2. Three criteria drive a safe choice: guaranteed moisture below 20 percent, France-wide delivery coverage, secure payment with recourse in case of dispute.
3. Simplyfeu stands out with high-performance kiln-dried wood (moisture measured 6 to 8 percent), 120 local depots and delivery with an all-terrain trolley.
4. Expect 200 to 400 euros for two steres delivered, depending on species and geographical zone.

Having logs delivered online has become a reflex for hundreds of thousands of households each winter. This page compares the six reference platforms to buy firewood online in 2026, with their strengths, indicative prices and the technical criteria to check before validating an order.

Why more and more households order online

Three factors explain the shift. Rising energy prices push to secure supply ahead of the season. Specialist retailers now offer reliable national coverage. And above all, transparency on moisture content, species and origin of fuel is much better on the web than in big-box stores.

The e-commerce channel also addresses a practical need. A household without a utility vehicle cannot load a 950 kilo pallet at a local producer. Having steres delivered to your door solves the logistics issue, with the bonus of date-based scheduling.

Six criteria to check before validating an order

Before clicking “order”, a few checks prevent disappointment. Here are the points to review for any remote log purchase.

• Guaranteed moisture content: require a measured rate below 20 percent. Beyond, combustion is poor, soiling explodes and calorific value drops.
• Species offered: prefer hardwoods (oak, beech, hornbeam, ash) for sustained use.
• Delivery coverage: check that the home zone is well served, and the announced delay in case of winter order.
• Delivery mode: standard gate delivery or all-terrain electric trolley to the storage point, the gap changes everything for those without direct access.
• Payment methods: secure card, payment in 3 or 10 instalments, energy voucher acceptance on the most advanced sites.
• Origin transparency: French or European provenance, displayed certifications (NF Firewood, France Bois Buches, ENplus for pellets).

Top 6 sites to buy firewood online in 2026

Here are the six most visible platforms on queries related to online log ordering. The comparison relies on displayed transparency, delivery coverage, price range and catalogue depth.

Comparison methodology

Four dimensions were retained to differentiate the sites: fuel quality (moisture, certifications), geographical delivery coverage, payment method flexibility and clarity of the buying journey. Prices mentioned are indicative ranges for orders of two steres, excluding options and one-off promotions.

Comparative table of the 6 platforms

Methodology: comparison based on public data displayed by each platform (official sites, technical sheets), declared certifications and standards in force in 2026. Indicative prices vary by zone and season.

1. Simplyfeu, the high-performance kiln-dried wood specialist

Simplyfeu relies on a fuel kiln-dried at very low moisture content. The independent lab that tests batches displays between 6 and 8 percent residual moisture, two to three times less than the legal 20 percent threshold. Lower calorific value exceeds 4.5 kWh per kilo, with ash content below 1.5 percent.

The brand relies on a network of 120 depots in France, which optimises transport costs. Delivery is made at the gate or, as an option, to the storage point with an all-terrain electric trolley capable of running on gravel, grass or slopes. Over 11,000 customer reviews are published on the site, with an average around 4.45 out of 5.

On payment, the panel is wide: secure card, payment in 3 or 10 instalments and acceptance of the energy voucher. The 30-second lighting is highlighted as an indirect indicator of drying quality. The brand has developed a dedicated page for its high-performance kiln-dried wood which details the technical specifications.

2. Bois Energie Nord, the regional Hauts-de-France specialist

Bois Energie Nord covers all of France but keeps a strong anchor in Hauts-de-France, where the brand has operated for over fifteen years. Prices displayed for a pallet of 1.3 to 2 cubic metres range from 217 to 370 euros, with a 4-instalment payment option without fees.

The brand offers several log lengths (25, 33 or 50 centimetres) to suit different fireplace sizes. Transparency on moisture content is good and delivery conditions are clearly detailed by department.

3. Wooday, the wood energy marketplace

Wooday is not a direct seller but an aggregator of producers and distributors. The marketplace model allows comparing several offers on the same product sheet, with prices and conditions varying by partner.

The strength of the model is diversity: logs, pellets, compressed logs, some rare species. The counterpart is a strong variability on drying quality and on delivery times, which depend on the third-party seller. Check reviews specific to the selected seller, not just the site’s global average.

4. Brazeco, the optional comfort delivery

Brazeco built its reputation on logistical flexibility. The site offers two delivery levels: standard pallet at the gate, or comfort delivery that drops off the goods in a more accessible location (garage, shelter, terrace). This paid option simplifies life for households without direct lorry access.

Price ranges are between 252 and 381 euros for volumes of 1.3 to 2 cubic metres. A detailed FAQ covers common questions on moisture content (beyond 20 percent, combustion is poor) and on stere-to-cubic-metre conversion (0.6 to 0.8 cubic metre per stere depending on log length). The average rating hovers around 4.6 out of 5.

5. Proxi-TotalEnergies, the national network offer

Proxi-TotalEnergies (formerly Proxi-Chauffage) is the consumer energy offer of the TotalEnergies group. The brand combines logs, compressed logs and pellets, making it a single point of contact for households equipped with multiple systems (log stove and pellet stove for example).

Volumes offered are calibrated for domestic uses: 2.6 steres of premium logs (868 kg), 4 steres of compressed logs (1120 kg) or a 66-bag pellet pallet (990 kg). Prices range from 235 to 461 euros depending on format. The energy distributor’s major advantage lies in annual contracts with a price locked for the season, relevant for a household using pellets as primary heating.

6. Bois-de-Chauffage.net, the local supplier directory

Bois-de-Chauffage.net is not a merchant site but a directory listing over 1000 professional suppliers in France. The tool is useful for identifying a producer or distributor near home, with a local price comparator.

The site usefully reminds that heating with logs remains two to three times cheaper than electricity per equivalent kWh. The logic complements national e-commerces: it is the tool for those seeking a 100 percent local actor, in short circuit, within a 50 to 80 kilometre radius.

Alternative: local producers via France Bois Buches

The France Bois Buches label federates a network of certified local producers across the entire territory. The specification, supervised by the France Bois Foret interprofession, imposes requirements on moisture content (below 20 percent), log length, absence of excessive bark and traceability of wood origin.

The network’s advantage lies in proximity: a certified producer within 100 kilometres of home allows economical delivery and short circuit. The downside is variable coverage, some departments have around twenty certified producers, others none. The label suits large consumers (over 10 steres per year) optimising cost with a local producer.

Which log type to choose, the technical criteria to know

Moisture content, the number one criterion

“Dry wood, with a moisture content below 20 percent, is the most performant. Below 15 percent, combustion efficiency can increase by 20 to 30 percent compared to poorly dried wood.” Source: ADEME, Practical guide to wood heating, 2024.

Above 20 percent, combustion does not fully release the fuel’s energy. Part of the heat is wasted evaporating residual water. Appliance efficiency drops, flue soiling explodes and fine particle emissions increase.

Reputable sites display a measured rate, sometimes by an independent laboratory. For wood dried naturally outdoors, plan 18 to 24 months of drying before use. Kiln-dried wood is passed through a kiln for 8 to 12 days, which brings moisture well below the legal threshold.

Calorific value and species

Lower calorific value (LCV) measures the energy released by a kilo of dry wood. For hardwoods, it hovers between 4 and 4.5 kWh per kilo. For softwoods, it is slightly higher per kilo, but their lower density gives a lower LCV per stere.

Four species dominate heating use: oak (yield reference), beech (regular combustion), hornbeam (very good heating intensity) and ash (easy lighting). Softwoods like pine or fir are reserved for kindling and backup uses, as they burn fast and soil the flue more.

Naturally dry wood, semi-dry or kiln-dried wood

Three main categories coexist on the market. Naturally dry wood is dried outdoors for 18 to 24 months, with final moisture of 15 to 20 percent. Semi-dry wood is delivered around 25 to 30 percent moisture and must finish drying at the customer’s, so requires anticipated stock over two seasons. Kiln-dried wood passes through a kiln, reaches 10 percent moisture or less and can be used immediately, at a higher cost per stere.

Decoding stere, cubic metre, pallet

The stere is the historical sales unit, corresponding to a volume of 1 cubic metre of 1-metre logs cut and stacked. For 50 cm logs, 1 stere gives about 0.8 cubic metre stacked. For 33 cm, 0.7 cubic metre. For 25 cm, 0.6 cubic metre. Confusion between stere and cubic metre is the first source of dispute with suppliers, so always check the unit displayed on the quote.

How much does an online log order cost in 2026

Ranges observed in 2026 on the main sites hover around 100 to 200 euros per stere, delivery included. An order of two steres averages between 250 and 400 euros, depending on species, drying level and delivery distance.

Three levers drive the final price. Species first: oak is generally 10 to 20 percent more expensive than beech or hornbeam. Drying next: kiln-dried wood costs 20 to 30 percent more than naturally dry wood, justified by the kiln process. Geographical zone last: delivery to isolated rural areas or mountains commonly adds 30 to 80 euros to the bill.

At equal volume, bagged logs remain surprisingly competitive against bulk, especially in zones with low bulk supplier coverage. The investment structure of bulk (lorries, silos, tanks) limits local competition, and prices are often close.

How it works concretely, from order to delivery

The buying journey steps

The typical process on a specialist e-commerce involves five steps. Select format and species on the product sheet, enter the postcode to verify coverage and calculate delivery fees, choose a delivery date among the proposed slots, validate the payment method, receive a confirmation email then a call or SMS from the carrier the day before delivery.

Available delivery modes

Two options coexist. Economy delivery drops the pallet at the gate or on the roadside accessible to the lorry. Comfort delivery, as a paid option, moves the pallet to the storage location with an all-terrain electric trolley capable of running on gravel, grass or gentle slopes. This second option saves one to two hours of handling for those needing to move a 950 kilo pallet.

Payment methods

Secure card is universal. Payment in 3 or 4 instalments without fees has become standard with major players. Payment in 10 instalments exists at some specialists for large orders (multi-pallet or annual contracts). The energy voucher, a state aid scheme, is accepted by several major e-commerces including Simplyfeu, which can absorb 48 to 277 euros of the bill depending on household income.

Recourse in case of issues

Three situations warrant immediate verification at delivery. A pallet notably lighter than expected (the carrier slip indicates weight). Visibly damp logs (intact bark over the entire length, no cracks at ends). A species not matching the order. In these three cases, refuse all or part of the delivery, mention the reserve on the slip and contact customer service within 48 hours. Reputable retailers refund or re-deliver quickly.

For which profile each platform is suited

The rural household with large annual stock

For consumption over 8 steres per winter, two options work. A local producer listed on Bois-de-Chauffage.net, within a 50 to 80 kilometre radius, offering the best price per stere and strong traceability. Or Simplyfeu for those wanting to secure drying quality and benefit from comfort delivery up to the woodshed. For complementary recommendations on consumption reduction, see the guide on home thermal insulation.

The city dweller without storage space

The city dweller orders small volumes (1 to 3 steres) with constrained delivery logistics. Brazeco and Simplyfeu are best placed thanks to their comfort delivery option to the storage point, essential for those without easy lorry access.

The wood cooking professional

For pizza, smoker or wood oven, the stake is species (oak, beech, fruit trees sometimes) and very low moisture content (below 15 percent ideally). Simplyfeu and some specialist sellers on the Wooday marketplace offer calibrated batches for these uses.

The pellet stove owner

Pellets do not mix with logs. For this equipment, look at Proxi-TotalEnergies or mixed retailers combining both fuels. Check ENplus A1 certification and residual moisture below 10 percent. For a detailed read, consult the comparison of best pellet brands sold in France and the guide to buy wood pellets online in France.

Common mistakes to avoid when ordering logs

• Ordering in mid-winter: delays explode from November to February, sometimes 4 to 6 weeks instead of 10 days. Anticipate in summer.
• Ignoring the actual moisture content: a fuel labelled “dry” without a precise figure often hides semi-dry around 25 percent. Always require a measured rate.
• Falling for a misleading stere price: an apparent stere sold at 70 euros can cost 130 euros once delivery is invoiced and actual moisture is observed. Reason in cost per kWh produced, not in cost per stere.
• Underestimating annual need: count 8 to 12 steres for 120 square metres in primary heating. Better one stere too many than one too few in March.
• Choosing the cheapest species without thought: softwood at 80 euros per stere seems attractive, but it burns fast, soils the flue and ends up more expensive per useful kWh.
• Forgetting to check lorry access: a 19-tonne lorry does not fit in all alleys. Measure access width and height under power lines before validating.
