“Second to none” Incense Cedar

Last year we were approached and asked to try Kiln Dried Incense Cedar for our decking program. We bought in and promoted it all summer long and into the winter with only favorable results. Customers were happy and we had no issues arise.

So when deciding what to do for this summer building season it was clear that it was time to double down on Incense cedar decking.

What is Incense Cedar? First of all it is one of 4 species of trees included in the grading group “Western Cedars” So along with Western Red Cedar, Alaska Yellow Cedar and Port Orford Cedar it shares the same characteristics such as rot and insect damage, strength and hardness. Further, it is lighter in color and has mainly smaller knots.

We are now stocking Kiln Dried, Premium Appearance Incense Cedar in

5/4×4  8′,10′, 12′,14′,16′ Lengths

5/4×6 8′, 10′, 12′, 16′ Lengths

2×4 8′, 10′, 12′ Lengths

2×6 8′, 10′, 12′, 14′, 16′ Lengths

4×4 8′, 10′ and 12′ Lengths

4×4 Clear in 6′ and 8′ Lengths

And Finally, what really makes Incense Cedar work for us all is the fact that it is very competitively priced, on average 20% less than comparable western red Cedar products

Cedar Grilling Planks ??

Of course this is something we would have, we love western red cedar and we love seafood, salmon to be specific.

ImageImage

The pungent taste of Western Red Cedar smoke clinging to a fresh salmon fillet is a culinary experience you must enjoy. Once you have, you will be coming back again and again for more. We are not out back cutting fence boards to make these planks though, they are an overstock at a national manufacturer where we just happen to buy a lot of our Cedar lumber. They are surfaced and kiln dried with lots of the natural aromatic oils that give planked seafood it’s delicious taste. At $2.50 each they are cheap even for hobby lumber and less than half of the price they would normally sell for through normal outlets. Load up now, give then to your friends, but most important, gobble up some delicious smokey seafood

Mill Outlet has always been a reliable source for great deals on Cedar and Pressure Treated lumber. Right now there seems to be an up swell of exceptional new cedar products in our little pond. More like a Tsunami, relentless and overwhelming wave after wave of great values.

I receive many calls from people looking for board and batten siding, usually looking for 10 or 12″ wide boards. Our new 5/4×8 rougherheaded blanks will work great for board and bat. In fact you can install the full width boards with a 2″ space between them, then rip more in half for 3 5/8″ battens to cover the space. you will be looking at about oot for burly 1″ thick rustic siding. Our you can use these for trim and fascia board or to build a Gazebo like one customer this morning. These blanks are one of the, if not “the” best value I have seen in Cedar in 30 years.

Image

As If that was not amazing, we also have excellent inventory of 2×8, 2×10 and 2×12 cedar boards, Priced right and selling fast they be. People are using them for raised beds but also for Pergolas arbors and fences. This is lumber you will not find in just any old yard.

And there is more,, use it for decking, fencing or general garden use, at $ you can not lose.
