Firewood & Woodyards

Baxter's Firewood & Mulch is a family-run firewood yard in Camanche, Iowa. Drew Baxter owns and runs it, with his dad, Steve, handling the details behind the scenes. The business has close to a decade in the trade. Every batch is dried 46 hours at 255°F, down to roughly 10 to 15 percent moisture, in the yard's own kiln. The yard sells oak, hickory, cherry, and mixed hardwood as firewood, small-split cooking wood for pizza ovens and smokers, and premium mulch. Logs come from loggers across Iowa, Illinois, and Wisconsin, up to 10 semi-loads a week at the busiest times. Every log is sorted into oak, hickory, cherry, or mixed before it is cut. To order, you call or text with your town, how much you want, the species, and whether you want it stacked. They text a delivery window, usually within 1 to 2 days, and payment is cash or check on delivery, with Venmo on request. The business is certified for transport across county and state lines. Delivery covers the Quad Cities and roughly 45 miles out, including Davenport, Bettendorf, Moline, Rock Island, and Clinton. Customers describe the wood as "Clean, dry, ready to burn." It suits a Quad Cities homeowner who wants kiln-dried firewood or mulch delivered to the driveway, not a landowner looking for a buyer of standing timber.
