Hello,

I just moved to an apartment that has a fireplace but I have no idea where to buy firewood. I know migros and coop sell but I ma sure there will be other better options...does any of you knows firewood sellers? What are the prices? I am living in Zurich affoltern but if necessary (and cheaper) i can pick them up from another location.

Many thanks!!!

search your locality for "brennholz". But to get savings, you will have to buy slightly larger amounts....

go take a walk in any of the woods around zurich,most likely there will be stacks there with posts incl phone numbers to call if you want to buy some.

Many farms have stocks they might sell.

Commercialy they use the measure "Ster" here,
basically a cubic meter of cut and stacked wood:

Ein Ster Holz ist ein mal ein Meter gesetztes Holz
wobei es auch kleine Zwischenräume gibt. Auf einen
Fläche ausgelegt ist es 1 x 1 mtr + 1 mtr hoch

I suggest Volg

The nearest from Affoltern is Regensdorf or Wallisellen.

Maybe you want to call them first, if they have any at all.

Local farmers are another option - they also sell them.

Google terms like Chemineeholz or Brennholz.

Landi has a good selection. You can find the nearest one on their website. Here is a list of their firewood etc.

As you are in an apartment I would suggest a "ster" which you might see advertised by farmers etc is too big unless you have lots of dry storage space somewhere, although would likely be much cheaper per Kg.

You could also try Jumbo or Co-op DIY in Affoltern...

If the other apartments have fireplaces, you might ask the neighbours where they bought their wood. It is possible someone may want to purchase together and then you can share the delivery costs. Just a thought.

Thanks everybody!!! No is much much easier...

Most gas stations also stock firewood.

Very good experience with Frey Chemineeholz in Affoltern. 20 kg Buchenholz is packed in a paper bag, no dirt. Dried and ready to use.
