Pinion wood is a popular firewood used for outdoor fireplaces and chimineas. Pinion pine wood is sometimes called the hardwood of softwoods. Even though it is technically a softwood, it is harder, more dense, and has a higher BTU than most softwoods.
Pinion firewood is popular for outdoor fires because of its nice pine aroma. The scent of both the unburned and burning wood is sometimes described as giving the feeling of being outdoors. The wood is also clean burning, easy to light, puts out plenty of heat, burns long and produces little ash. Pinion pine wood is claimed to be a mosquito repellent when burned. Some will burn the wood outdoors just to keep the bugs away.
Pinion wood comes from the pinyon pine tree, also spelled pinion or piñon. Pinyon pine trees grow in dry regions of Mexico and the south western United States, mainly in the high mountains of the Colorado Plateau in New Mexico and Arizona. It tends to grow in areas that are too dry for ponderosa pine and is often found mixed with juniper.
Pinyon pine is a small, slow growing tree, usually only 10-30 feet in height. The seeds are edible and important for wildlife. Native Americans used pinyon pine nuts as a staple food and today the nuts are considered a delicacy by many. The pine nuts you buy in the store are usually from pinyon pine trees.
Looking for bulk pinion pine firewood delivered to colorado springs, co.
Looked at pinon wood for my new firepit but it mentions “not for cooking” … does this mean it’s not safe for even roasting marshmallows? Or, it would just make them taste funny (piney?)? I’ve googled so many websites but can’t find any that answer this…
Pinion pine firewood and any other pine will be fine for roasting marshmallows. When they say it’s not good for cooking that is just because, like you said, the food will have a “piney” taste when cooked in the pine smoke. But when roasting something like a marshmallow you are probably not going to roast it long enough for that to be a problem. Plus you will probably be roasting it over hot coals instead of holding it in the smoke. If you hold it over a smoky pine fire then yeah it might not taste so good.
Hello Rachelle,
How much bulk Pinion Wood are you looking for? I am located in S Utah and can supply as much as you wantand in what form.
Mario,
I own a resort in Far Northern Wisconsin. I would be interested in 5-6 truckloads of Pinion in 8 foot logs. Could you handle that?
Jeff,
If still needing some pinion email me, austin@indianheadfirewood.com
Mario,
What kind of price per cord for Pinion Pine in a full 18 wheeler load to Houston, Tx (should be 12-14 cords based on weight.) Thanks.
Mario, We can probably get a better freight rate overland than you because we ship truckloads all over the USA and have some relationships with haulers. So maybe you could give me an FOB point with zip code and give me a price if we pick it up at your location for a full truckload (18 wheeler) and price it by the cord. Weight restrictions in Texas are strict…can not go over 80,000 lbs. gross and axles must be right. Thank you very much.
Rachelle
