SDE takes old wooden pallets and various other sources of recyclable wood, and turns it into high grade firewood and kindling.  The pallets are dismantled by hand, the wood de-nailed and then graded into either firewood or kindling wood.   Any boards that are still in good condition are put aside and made into second hand pallets.   Wood that is not suitable for resale is used to heat our main premises.  

We remove all nails using compressed air, and ensure that all firewood is dry and that kindling is cut to a uniform size.  We have a splitting machine that does this for us, and kindling is sold in bags of both five and ten kilo sizes.

We produce and sell almost ten thousand bags of kindling annually.  We believe that SDE's kindling wood is of better value in both quality and quantity, than any other alternative currently on the market.

Our firewood is sold by the trailer load (delivered), and our customers range throughout Southland and as far away as Dunedin.    Our sales have increased to such an extent, that in the middle of winter our supply is exhausted and we have to turn customers away.  

We urge our customers to order and stockpile firewood from us during the summer months, in order to avoid disappointment in the winter.
