About this firewood

A quarter cord of seasoned hardwood, 32 cubic feet, split and ready to burn. A tidy starter load for occasional fires and fireplace evenings through the season.

Ordered Dirt. Received Dirt. Would Buy Again.

Most Ann Arbor homes using firewood as supplemental heat should plan on a half cord to a full cord for the season, while primary wood heat households often need two to three cords to cover October through April.

A full cord is a stacked pile of split firewood measuring 4 feet high by 4 feet deep by 8 feet long, about 128 cubic feet. Every size we sell is measured against that same standard. A full cord is 128 cubic feet, a half cord is 64, a third of a cord is 43, and a quarter cord is 32. When you compare prices, ask how many cubic feet you are getting. A stack sold as 4 feet high by 8 feet long looks the same from the front whether it is 4 feet deep or 16 inches deep, but the shallow one holds about a third as much wood.

Areas we deliver firewood in Ann Arbor, Michigan

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your firewood off the ground on pallets or rails so Ann Arbor's wet snow and spring thaw do not wick moisture back into the bottom rows. Leave gaps between rows for airflow, cover only the top of the stack with a tarp, and keep the sides open so humidity can escape. A stack fully wrapped in plastic traps moisture and can undo months of seasoning before you ever burn it.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Test moisture with a simple method before assuming your wood is ready. Split a piece and check the freshly exposed face, if it feels cool and damp to the touch or hisses when burned, it needs more drying time. Oak in particular can look seasoned on the outside while still holding moisture inside, so do not judge readiness by bark color alone, especially with wood cut locally near Ann Arbor's clay heavy soils.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your firewood in late summer or early fall, well before Ann Arbor's first frost in mid October, so it has time to finish drying in your own stack before you need it. Waiting until the first cold snap often means settling for wood that has not fully seasoned, which burns cooler and dirtier right when you need the most heat.

Wood Heat in Ann Arbor

Ann Arbor winters stretch from mid October frost through late April, meaning wood stoves and fireplaces here often run for six months or more. That long heating season demands wood that is truly seasoned, not just cut and split, because Michigan's humid summers slow the drying process compared to drier climates. Local hardwoods like oak, hard maple, ash, and hickory need at least six to twelve months of covered drying to reach a safe burn moisture level. Green or under seasoned wood in southeast Michigan's damp air smokes heavily, creosote builds fast in chimneys, and heat output drops. We season our wood through a full Ann Arbor summer so it is ready to burn hot and clean the moment the first cold front rolls through Washtenaw County.

Local Hardwood Species

Expect dense regional hardwoods like oak, hickory, maple, and ash. These species burn longer and hotter than softwoods, which is what you want when a cold snap settles in and the stove runs all day.

Seasoning and Moisture

Firewood needs 6 to 12 months of drying before it burns well. Properly seasoned wood lights faster, throws more heat, and keeps creosote out of your chimney, which matters most in the coldest weeks of the year.

Buy Local, Burn Local

Firewood that travels long distances spreads invasive pests like the emerald ash borer. Our wood is cut and seasoned close to where it is delivered, which protects local trees and means fresher wood for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answer

How much firewood does a typical Ann Arbor house need to get through winter

For a home using a wood stove as a supplemental heat source through Ann Arbor's roughly six month heating season, most households use between one half cord and a full cord per winter. If firewood is your primary heat, or you are running fires most nights from October through April, plan closer to two to three full cords.

Answer

What does seasoned firewood actually mean and why does it matter here

Seasoned means the wood has dried long enough, usually six to twelve months under cover, to drop its internal moisture to a safe burning range. In Ann Arbor's humid summers that process takes longer than it would in a drier climate, so wood cut this spring is not ready to burn by fall. Burning green wood in our damp winters causes heavy smoke, poor heat output, and faster creosote buildup in chimneys.

Answer

What kinds of wood will I actually get delivered

Our firewood is sourced from hardwood stands near Ann Arbor and typically includes oak, hard maple, ash, and hickory, all common species in Washtenaw County woodlots. These are dense hardwoods that burn hot and long, which suits the length of our regional heating season.

Answer

Why does it matter that the wood is sourced locally instead of trucked in from farther away

Moving firewood long distances is one of the main ways invasive pests like the emerald ash borer spread from one region to another. Michigan has already seen serious ash tree losses from this pest, so we source our wood near Ann Arbor and recommend all buyers do the same, no matter who they order from.

Answer

How does delivery to my driveway actually work

You choose your cord size, we schedule a delivery window that works for you, and the wood is unloaded loose at your driveway. We do not stack it for you, so plan on having space and time to move it into your own woodpile.

Answer

What is the difference between a quarter cord, a third cord, a half cord, and a full cord

A full cord is 128 cubic feet stacked, measuring 4 feet high by 4 feet deep by 8 feet long. A half cord is roughly half that volume, a third cord is about a third, and a quarter cord is a quarter of a full cord, so you can scale your order to how much wood your Ann Arbor winter actually calls for without paying for more than you need.

Answer

Are there any local rules about burning wood in Ann Arbor I should know about

Ann Arbor and Washtenaw County occasionally issue air quality advisories on high pollution days, during which residents are asked to limit unnecessary outdoor burning. Burning well seasoned hardwood instead of green wood also produces far less smoke, which helps you stay considerate of neighbors on still winter days when smoke tends to settle low.
