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 Baltimore households burning several nights a week should plan on one to two cords to cover the full heating season through 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 pairing your firewood order with mulch or soil from our Baltimore regional page to protect garden beds before the first frost hits your yard.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack firewood off the ground on a pallet or rack so Baltimore's humid summers and wet winter snow melt do not wick moisture back into the bottom rows. Leave gaps between rows for airflow, and cover only the top of the stack with a tarp, keeping the sides open so trapped moisture can escape rather than building mold inside a fully wrapped pile.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Oak and hickory take longer to catch than softer woods, so start fires with smaller kindling pieces and let the coal bed build before adding larger splits. A simple moisture meter reading under 20 percent on a freshly split face tells you the wood is ready to burn hot and clean rather than smoldering and smoking up your flue.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your firewood in late summer or early fall, well before the October 25 average frost date, since demand and prices both climb once the first cold snap hits Baltimore. Ordering early also gives any borderline pieces extra weeks to finish drying out in your stack before you actually need them burning.

Wood Heat in Baltimore

Baltimore winters run from that late October first frost around October 25 through mid April, which adds up to a long stretch of chimney and wood stove use across the region. Row homes and older Baltimore County houses with drafty fireplaces burn through wood fast once temperatures drop, especially during the damp cold snaps that roll in off the Chesapeake. Our seasoned hardwood is dried down to the low moisture range that matters here, because Maryland humidity keeps green wood from drying properly on its own over a single season. Oak, hickory, and hard maple are common in our mix, all species that hold heat well through a long Baltimore night. Buying wood that has already been split and dried locally means it lights easier, burns cleaner, and produces far less creosote in your flue than wood cut just weeks before delivery.

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 does a typical Baltimore winter actually require

Homes that burn a few nights a week from November through March usually go through about one to one and a half cords over the season, while daily wood burners in older row homes with less insulation often use two cords or more given our roughly six month heating window.

Answer

What does seasoned firewood mean and why does it matter here

Seasoned means the wood has been dried well below the moisture content of freshly cut logs, which matters in Baltimore because our humid summers slow natural drying, so wood cut and split earlier in the year burns hotter and cleaner than anything sold green.

Answer

What kind of wood will I actually get

Expect a mix of local hardwoods common to the Baltimore area, mainly oak, hickory, and hard maple, all dense species that produce long, steady burns rather than quick flashy fires that die out fast.

Answer

Is this wood really local, and does that matter

Yes, all of our firewood is sourced near Baltimore rather than trucked in from distant states, which matters because moving firewood long distances is one of the main ways pests like the emerald ash borer spread into new counties.

Answer

How does delivery to my driveway actually work

Once you schedule a date, we deliver the wood loose directly to your driveway, and since stacking is not included, most customers have a tarp cover or a stacking rack ready to go before the truck arrives.

Answer

What is a cord and how do your sizes compare

A full cord is 128 cubic feet stacked, 4 feet high by 4 feet deep by 8 feet long, and our quarter, third, and half cord options are simply fractional portions of that same stacked volume, so a half cord is about 64 cubic feet and a quarter cord is about 32 cubic feet.

Answer

Are there any local rules I should know about before burning

Baltimore City and Baltimore County occasionally issue air quality alerts during winter inversions, so it is worth checking local advisories on high pollution days and sticking to well seasoned hardwood, which burns far cleaner than damp or green wood in exactly those conditions.
