Forest to Flame was founded in Fairmont, West Virginia by Elliott Stricklin with a simple belief: firewood should be as dependable and distinguished as the homes and businesses it warms. As North Central West Virginia’s premier source for Appalachian hardwoods, we hand‑select every tree—oak, maple, cherry, beech or hickory to ensure a clean burn, lasting heat, and unmatched consistency.
Inspired by our Appalachian heritage and elevated by modern craftsmanship, Forest to Flame stands as a symbol of resilience, refinement, and Mountaineer pride. Our mission is to deliver the warmth, reliability, and authenticity of West Virginia hardwoods through premium firewood solutions that honor the forests we source from and the communities we serve.
We elevate everyday fire experiences—residential or commercial—through sustainably sourced hardwoods, precision packaging, and dependable delivery. With innovative logistics and uncompromising quality, we ignite more than fires. We kindle trust, tradition, and the enduring spirit of the mountains.
Forest to Flame is the region’s most trusted source for premium firewood—where craftsmanship meets convenience, and every delivery carries the tradition of West Virginia.
Elliott Stricklin is the founder and owner of Forest to Flame, where Appalachian heritage meets uncompromising craftsmanship. With a lifelong respect for the land and its hardwoods, Elliott personally hand selects and harvests mature timber, ensuring every tree reflects the brand’s promise of authenticity and quality. He blends tradition with innovation—whether designing specialized pallet baskets for clean, dry delivery or overseeing sustainable practices alongside Sterling, the Supervisory Wood Hound. Elliott’s vision is born of Mountaineer pride: to provide firewood that embodies resilience, warmth, and trust, while elevating the everyday ritual of flame into a luxury experience.
Sterling Stricklin is far more than Elliott’s loyal canine companion—he is the esteemed Supervisory Wood Hound of Forest to Flame. With a discerning nose for quality and a tail that never loses momentum, Sterling accompanies Elliott from forest harvest to final delivery, applying his own brand of rigorous, four‑paw quality control. While Elliott works, Sterling stands guard over the cutting area with calm vigilance, serving as both lookout and GPS—always aware of the terrain, the trails, and the safest path forward. Whether protecting the worksite or riding shotgun with quiet authority, Sterling brings loyalty, character, and a refined touch of humor to the brand’s commitment to authenticity.
When Sterling is on duty, customers know their firewood isn’t just premium—it’s proudly hound‑approved.
