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.

Occasional fireplace users in Annapolis typically need a half cord to one cord for the season, while homeowners heating primarily with wood should plan on three to four cords to comfortably make it through late October to mid 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.

Complete Your Outdoor Project

While you are prepping for winter, consider topping off garden beds with mulch to protect roots through Annapolis's freeze thaw cycles, or adding stone around your firewood stacking area to keep logs off damp sandy loam soil.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your wood off the ground on pallets or rails, since Annapolis's sandy loam soil holds moisture and can wick dampness up into your bottom rows. Leave gaps between rows for airflow, and cover only the top of the stack, keeping the sides open. Full coverage traps humidity underneath, which is especially problematic given how muggy our summers and shoulder seasons tend to run.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Oak takes noticeably longer to season than ash, so if you are building your own supply ahead of time, split and stack oak earliest since it needs closer to a full year to season properly here. Ash dries faster and can be ready in six to eight months. A simple moisture meter reading below 20 percent on a freshly split face is your best confirmation before burning.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your wood by late summer if you want it seasoned and ready by the time nighttime lows start dropping around our typical October 25 first frost. Waiting until November often means you are burning wood that has not fully dried, since Annapolis's humidity slows the seasoning process compared to drier climates further inland.

Wood Heat in Annapolis

Annapolis winters run from late October through mid April, a heating season of roughly five to six months in Zone 7b, so a good chunk of the wood you burn needs to already be dry before that first cold snap hits. The Chesapeake Bay region's humidity means green wood seasons more slowly here than in drier inland climates, often needing a full six to twelve months of covered airflow to drop below 20 percent moisture. That is why we sell only seasoned hardwood, mostly oak, hickory, and ash sourced from woodlots near Annapolis, species that burn long and hot once properly dried. Homes in older Annapolis neighborhoods with fireplaces built for supplemental heat, plus newer homes running wood stoves to offset propane costs, both depend on wood that lights easily and does not smoke up the chimney. Burning unseasoned wood in our humid climate leads to more creosote buildup, a real concern in the tall narrow flues common in historic Annapolis homes.

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

Click a question to see the answer

Answer

How many cords do I need to get through an Annapolis winter?

For a home using a wood stove as a primary heat source through our roughly five to six month heating season, most Annapolis homeowners burn three to four cords. If you are just running occasional fireplace fires on cold evenings, a half cord to one cord usually covers the season.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has dried enough that moisture content is below 20 percent, which in our humid Chesapeake climate typically takes six to twelve months of proper covered storage. Burning seasoned wood in Annapolis homes means less smoke, easier lighting, and far less creosote buildup in your chimney over our long, damp winters.

Answer

What types of firewood will I actually receive?

Our firewood is a mix of local hardwoods, primarily oak, hickory, and ash, all sourced from woodlots within the Annapolis region. These species are dense and burn hot and long, which suits the sustained cold stretches typical of a Maryland winter.

Answer

Is this wood really local, and does that matter?

Yes, all our firewood is sourced near Annapolis rather than trucked in from out of state. Keeping firewood local prevents the spread of invasive pests like the emerald ash borer, which has already damaged ash populations across Maryland and can hitch a ride in firewood moved long distances.

Answer

How does delivery to my driveway actually work?

We deliver your chosen cord amount loose, dumped directly onto your driveway rather than stacked, so you will need a plan for moving and stacking it yourself. This keeps delivery efficient and lets you stack the wood exactly where you want it against your house or shed.

Answer

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

A full cord is a stack measuring 4 feet high by 4 feet deep by 8 feet long, totaling 128 cubic feet. A quarter cord is one fourth of that volume, a half cord is half, and a three quarter cord is three fourths, letting you buy exactly what fits your storage space and burning habits without paying for wood you will not use this season.

Answer

Are there any local rules about burning wood in Annapolis?

Anne Arundel County and the wider Baltimore Washington region occasionally issue air quality advisories on high pollution days, during which voluntary reduction of wood burning is recommended. Seasoned wood also burns cleaner than green wood, which helps you stay considerate of neighbors and air quality even outside of advisory days.
