Butler Wood is first and foremost a cookwood company. Our first customer was a BBQ restaurant that was managed by a close friend. On a hot summer day in 2003, I was visiting with him and enjoying a cold beer. It just so happened that there was a wood delivery in progress, and the delivery person was moving the wood one stick at a time. I was sure that the delivery person was going to have a heat stroke before the delivery was completed. That is when I began engineering a method that removes the labor from delivery.
