At Cummings Lumber Company, our foundation is built on two things: top-tier quality and a deeply rooted family legacy. Today, we are incredibly proud to celebrate a major milestone for the man who keeps that tradition moving forward. Our President, Scott Cummings, is officially marking 33 years of dedication to the company!

As the founder’s great-grandson, Scott took the helm as President in 2014. For more than three decades, his vision has ensured that our four-generation commitment to providing customers with unmatched service and premier lumber products remains stronger than ever.

Resilience, Community, and Good BBQ

This month also brings us to the two-year anniversary of the 2024 mill fire. To honor how far the company has come since that challenging time, and to show his appreciation for the hard work of his team, Scott recently treated all employees to a spectacular, catered BBQ lunch. It was a wonderful opportunity for the Cummings Lumber family to gather, connect, and look toward a bright future.

A Heartfelt Thank You From the Employees

An organization is only as strong as its leadership, and on behalf of all the employees at Cummings Lumber, we want to extend our deepest gratitude to Scott.

Thank you, Scott, for your steadfast guidance, your generosity, and your unique ability to lead us through both the good times and the bad. Your dedication not only preserves our family history but inspires all of us to keep delivering the quality our customers rely on.

Here is to 33 years of excellence, and many more to come!

As the final weekend of May arrives, it’s easy to get caught up in the excitement of a long weekend. For many, it marks the unofficial start of summer, a time for backyard barbecues, family gatherings, and enjoying the warmer weather.

But at Cummings Lumber, Barefoot Flooring, and Barefoot Pellet Company, we believe it is deeply important to look beyond the festivities and focus on the true purpose of this sacred holiday.

Memorial Day is not just a day off; it is a day of solemn remembrance. It is a time dedicated to honoring the brave men and women of our armed forces who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country. Every freedom we enjoy today—from the safety of our communities to the ability to gather freely with our loved ones—was paid for by their selflessness and courage.

Our hearts, thoughts, and deepest gratitude are with the Gold Star families who carry the heavy legacy of their loved ones’ sacrifice every single day. We owe them a debt of honor that can never truly be repaid, but can be humbly acknowledged through our remembrance.

Holiday Notice: We Will Be Closed

To allow our employees the time to properly observe this day of reflection and spend meaningful time with their families, all of our facilities will be closed on Monday, May 25th, 2026.

We will resume regular business hours on Tuesday, May 26th.

How We Can Observe Together

As we enjoy the freedoms of this weekend, we invite our community, customers, and partners to join us in taking a moment of silence to remember the fallen. Whether you visit a local memorial, fly the American flag, or simply pause to reflect, let us ensure that the legacies of our nation’s heroes are never forgotten.

On behalf of everyone at Cummings Lumber, Barefoot Flooring, and Barefoot Pellet Company, we wish you and your family a safe, peaceful, and deeply meaningful Memorial Day.

As Memorial Day approaches, the unofficial start of summer begins to peek through. Lawns are being mowed, patios are being swept, and backyard decks are being prepped for the season ahead.

But before we fire up our grills and enjoy a long weekend with family and friends, everyone at Barefoot Pellet Company wants to pause and reflect on the true meaning of this holiday.

Memorial Day is a time of profound reverence. We are deeply grateful for the brave servicemen and women who made the ultimate sacrifice to protect our country and preserve our freedom. Our hearts and utmost respect go out to the families who carry their legacy forward.

Bringing Loved Ones Together

One of the greatest ways to celebrate the freedom we’ve been gifted is by gathering the people we care about most. Food has a unique ability to bring generations together, break down walls, and spark meaningful conversations.

If you are planning to fire up your pellet smoker or grill this weekend to feed your family and neighbors, we want to help ensure your cookout goes off without a hitch.

There is nothing quite like the aroma of authentic wood smoke drifting through the backyard. To get that perfect, clean burn and rich, savory flavor your guests will love, your grill needs premium fuel. That’s where Barefoot & BBQ Pellets come in. Crafted for consistency and superior heat, our pellets give your briskets, ribs, burgers, and sides the high-quality wood-fired flavor they deserve.

Don’t Let an Empty Hopper Catch You Off Guard

Holiday weekends fly by quickly, and the last thing you want is a mid-cook scramble to the store because you ran out of pellets.

We highly recommend stocking up early this week. By getting your fuel sorted out ahead of time, you can focus entirely on what matters most this weekend: reflection, relaxation, and spending quality time with your loved ones.

What’s on your holiday menu?

We love hearing from our community. Is your family planning a low-and-slow brisket marathon, or are you keeping things classic with smoked chicken and burgers? How does your family gather to remember and honor the day?
