Slab Wood for Firewood at the DEEP Sawmill

The DEEP Sawmill in Portland (163 Great Hill Road) has bundled slab wood available for sale on a first come, first serve basis. The slabs are the outer round portions of sawn logs and they make excellent firewood. The roughly one cord bundles (4’ x 4’ x 8’) are available for 100.00percordforhardwoodand100.00 per cord for hardwood and 100.00percordforhardwoodand50.00 per cord for softwood.

Bundles can be picked up and paid for by appointment ONLY during the hours when the sawmill is open: Monday through Friday, from 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM.

DEEP has a loader for loading a trailer, but cannot use it to load the back of a truck due to risk of damage. If you only have a truck, staff can set a bundle to the side, cut the bands, and load onto the truck by hand.

For more information or to make arrangements, please contact State Forester Nathan Piche at nathan.piche@ct.gov.
