The
firewood dealer certification program is voluntary. You can sell firewood in
Wisconsin without being certified. If you choose to become certified, you must sell
or distribute 20 or more cords of firewood each year in Wisconsin, and your
business must be located in the state. A firewood dealer must complete an
application form and then have your facilities and processes inspected by the
Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP).
All packaged firewood sold in Wisconsin must be labeled, regardless of whether it is certified pest-free. However, certified wood also must bear the DATCP-certified label.
Treatment methods to kill pests:
- Heat firewood to an internal temperature of 140 degrees F. or higher for at least consecutive 60 minutes, or
- Store firewood on your premises at least 24 months before selling or distributing it in Wisconsin, or
- Treat firewood using an alternative method approved by DATCP
