About Southern Fuelwood, Inc.

Southern Fuelwood, Inc. manufactures cooking and heating wood products from southern hardwoods at an offices-and-production plant at 28826 West Newberry Road (Route 26) in Newberry, about 14 miles west of Gainesville off I-75 and 2.5 miles west of the Route 26 and Route 41 intersection. The about page describes a company with more than 30 years of experience producing wood products in the volumes the commercial trade requires, and states plainly that Southern Fuelwood manufactures everything it sells rather than reselling, and that it does not make products from diseased wood taken from tree surgeons, using carefully selected healthy trees instead. The product range listed on the site covers kiln-dried Florida firewood, fatwood and kindling, gourmet barbecue cooking wood, restaurant-grade cooking woods, natural wood charcoal and anthracite coal, and shavings, sawdust and a shavings-and-sawdust mix. Kilns are the heart of the operation: the site says ten high-efficiency kilns are in place and operating, more than any other facility in the southeast, with a combined capacity of 101,659 cubic feet, and that Southern Fuelwood was the first company in Florida certified by the Florida Department of Agriculture to heat treat wood to U.S.D.A. (5B-65) standards. The plant sits on 200 acres of company-owned land and includes a 5,896 sq ft office building with state-certified truck scales, three warehouse buildings totalling 50,704 sq ft, two covered loading docks and two portable loading platforms, two packaging facilities of 16,265 sq ft, a 14,877 sq ft pallet production plant, a wood shavings plant with a finished shavings barn, and a 12,475 sq ft maintenance shop for trucks and equipment. Patrick M. Post is named as owner and Keith Oliver handles sales; the office is open 8 AM to 5 PM Monday through Friday. As described on southernfuelwood.com, read 23 September 2026.
