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.

I have ordered twice now, a pleasure to deal with, easy and fast delivery, beautiful mulch!

For a Bangor winter running roughly six months, most regular woodstove users should plan on two to three full cords, while occasional fireplace users can often get by on a half cord to a full cord.

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 Bangor, Maine

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your wood off the ground on a pallet or rack so air can move underneath, and keep the top covered but the sides open so moisture can escape rather than get trapped. Bangor's damp fall air combined with an early frost means uncovered, ground level stacks can hold moisture longer than expected, slowing seasoning and inviting rot before you even get to burn it.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

When building a fire with our local mix, start with birch for quick, hot kindling since its bark catches easily even in damp conditions, then add maple or oak once the fire is established for a longer, steadier burn overnight. This layered approach works well through Bangor's long cold stretches when you need a fire to hold heat for hours.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your firewood well before the first frost typically arrives in early October, since local seasoned wood supply tightens up fast once Bangor's cold weather sets in. Buying early also gives any extra drying time a chance to work in your favor before the coldest part of the season arrives.

Wood Heat in Bangor

Bangor sits in growing zone 5a with a heating season that often runs from the first frost around October 7 clear through the last frost near May 9, meaning many households are burning wood for six months or more. That long stretch makes properly seasoned wood essential, since green or wet wood burns cooler, throws more creosote into the chimney, and simply cannot keep up with a Maine cold snap. Our hardwood is sourced locally near Bangor, split and dried down before delivery, so it lights faster and burns hotter through the coldest part of the season. Local species like sugar maple, yellow birch, and red oak are common in our mix, and each brings its own burn characteristics to a Bangor woodstove or fireplace. Because Maine's humidity swings between damp summers and dry cold winters, wood that has not been properly seasoned locally tends to hold moisture longer than it would in drier climates, so buying wood that has already adjusted to our regional air matters more here than in many other parts of the country. Choosing seasoned, locally sourced firewood is one of the simplest ways to get consistent heat through a full Bangor winter.

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 a Bangor winter?

That depends on how you are heating and how often you burn, but many Bangor households burning a woodstove regularly through the full October to May stretch go through two to three full cords in a season. If you are just doing occasional evening fires, a half cord or full cord may carry you through comfortably.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has been split and dried down to a lower moisture content before it reaches you, rather than being cut and delivered green. In Bangor's humid summers and cold, dry winters, unseasoned wood struggles to catch and burns cooler, so seasoned wood is what gives you a hot, steady fire when temperatures drop hard in January and February.

Answer

What kinds of wood will I actually get in my delivery?

Our mix pulls from hardwoods common to the Bangor area, including sugar maple, yellow birch, and red oak, all species known for solid heat output and a good long burn once seasoned.

Answer

Is this wood actually local, and does that matter?

Yes, it is sourced locally near Bangor rather than trucked in from far away. Keeping firewood local matters because moving wood long distances is one of the main ways invasive pests like the emerald ash borer spread from one region to another, so buying near where you burn helps protect Maine's forests.

Answer

How does delivery actually work?

You choose your cord size, pick a delivery window, and our truck drops the wood loose in your driveway. Stacking is not included, so plan on setting aside some time to move and stack it once it arrives.

Answer

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

A full cord is 128 cubic feet of stacked wood, measuring 4 feet high by 4 feet deep by 8 feet long. Our quarter cord is roughly a quarter of that volume, our third cord and half cord scale up from there, and the full cord is the largest option we offer for households heating primarily with wood through the Bangor season.

Answer

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

Bangor and the surrounding area can see air quality advisories during stagnant winter weather, so it is worth checking local notices on high pollution days and holding off on burning if one is in effect. Burning fully seasoned wood also helps keep smoke output lower on any given day.
