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.

Highest compliments. Great driver.
Website is easy to navigate. Just a seamless process. 5 stars!!

For Augusta's roughly seven month cold season, budget one to one and a half cords for occasional use and two to three cords if wood is your main heat source.

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 Augusta, Maine

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your wood off the ground on pallets or rails so air can move underneath, since Augusta's humid summers and heavy spring thaw can wick moisture up from the soil into your pile. Leave the top loosely covered but the sides open to airflow. A single row stacked no more than four feet high dries faster and more evenly than a wide, packed pile, especially through our humid late summer months before the season turns.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Sugar maple and oak both burn long and hot, making them ideal for overnight fires during Augusta's coldest stretches in January and February. Birch lights quickly and burns bright, so it works well for getting a fire started before you add denser splits. Test moisture with a simple pinch or listen for a hollow crack when two pieces are knocked together, a sign the wood is properly dried.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your firewood well before the first frost typically hits Augusta around October 8, since properly seasoned wood needs time to settle even after delivery and popular cord sizes can sell out as the heating season approaches. Ordering in late summer also gives you a stress free window to stack and organize your woodpile before the first cold snap arrives.

Wood Heat in Augusta

Augusta homeowners face a long heating season that typically runs from the October frost through early May, which means a wood stove or fireplace can see five or six months of steady use. Sandy loam soils around Kennebec County support strong stands of sugar maple, yellow birch, oak, and ash, all of which make excellent seasoned firewood once properly dried. Maine's humid air, especially near the Kennebec River, slows natural seasoning, so wood that has not been dried long enough will smolder, smoke, and leave creosote in your chimney. Properly seasoned hardwood burns hotter and cleaner, which matters when you are relying on a stove for weeks at a stretch. Buying wood that has already been dried to the right moisture level saves you from a winter of frustrating, low heat fires.

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 much firewood do I actually need to get through an Augusta winter?

Most Augusta households burning wood as a primary heat source use two to three full cords across the October to May heating season, while homes using wood for supplemental warmth or occasional fires often get by on a half cord to a full cord.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has been cut, split, and dried for at least six to twelve months until its moisture content drops low enough to burn cleanly, which is especially important in central Maine where humid summers slow the drying process compared to drier climates.

Answer

What kinds of wood will I get with a delivery?

Expect a mix of local hardwoods common around Augusta such as sugar maple, yellow birch, and oak, all known for solid heat output and long, steady burns through cold nights.

Answer

Why does it matter that the firewood is sourced locally near Augusta?

Firewood cut and dried near Augusta reduces the risk of spreading invasive pests like the emerald ash borer, which has already been confirmed in parts of Maine, so keeping wood local protects the forests around your own property.

Answer

How does delivery to my driveway work?

We deliver your chosen cord size loose to your driveway on the scheduled date, and stacking is not included, so plan on having space and time set aside to move it into your own woodpile or shed.

Answer

How do the different cord sizes compare?

A full cord is 128 cubic feet stacked, measuring 4 feet high by 4 feet deep by 8 feet long, and our quarter cord, third cord, and half cord options are simply fractional portions of that same stacked volume, giving you flexibility based on how much storage space or burning you plan for the season.

Answer

Are there any local rules about burning wood I should know about?

Maine occasionally issues air quality advisories during winter temperature inversions, so it is worth checking local notices on high pollution days and making sure your wood is well seasoned, since dry hardwood produces far less smoke than green or wet wood.
