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.

For a full Billings heating season, plan on one to two full cords if you burn regularly, or a quarter to half cord if firewood is more of an occasional supplement to 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.

Complete Your Outdoor Project

While you are prepping for winter, consider pairing your firewood order with mulch or stone from our Billings regional page to protect garden beds and pathways from the region's freeze and thaw cycles.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your wood off the ground on pallets or rails so snowmelt and spring runoff do not wick moisture back into split faces you already paid to dry. Angle the top course or cover it loosely with a tarp, leaving the sides open, since trapping full airflow around a fully wrapped stack actually slows drying and invites mold during Billings's brief humid stretches in early fall before the dry season sets in.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Ash and elm both season well but behave differently in the firebox, with ash lighting quickly and burning hot for kindling fires while elm splits are tougher to start but hold coals longer for overnight burns. Mixing the two in your stove gives you a fast starting fire that settles into a long, steady burn through a cold Billings night.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your seasonal wood supply before the first frost typically arrives around September 25, since demand climbs fast once temperatures drop and well seasoned wood becomes harder to find later in the season. Ordering early also gives any slightly higher moisture splits extra weeks to finish drying in your stack before you need to burn through the coldest months.

Wood Heat in Billings

Billings sits at 3,123 feet with a heating season that stretches from late September's first frost clear through mid May, which means woodstoves and fireplaces often run five or six months straight. That kind of demand punishes green or half seasoned wood, since unseasoned rounds hiss, smoke, and throw far less heat when temperatures drop below zero on the High Line. Our wood is seasoned down to a low moisture range before it ever leaves the yard, so it lights faster and burns hotter in a Montana cold snap. Local hardwoods like ash and elm season well in this dry Yellowstone Valley air, losing moisture steadily without the mildew problems that humid climates cause. Because our clay loam soils and low humidity favor slow, even drying, wood cut and split here holds its heat value better than wood trucked in from wetter regions.

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 Billings winter?

Most Billings households burning a woodstove several nights a week from late September through mid May go through one to two full cords a season, while occasional weekend burners often get by on a half cord or a quarter cord.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has dried down well below the moisture level of freshly cut rounds, and in our dry Yellowstone Valley climate that drying happens efficiently, giving you wood that lights fast and burns cleaner even when it is well below zero outside.

Answer

What kind of wood will I actually get?

Expect primarily local ash and elm, hardwoods common to the Billings area that split well and hold a long, steady coal bed, ideal for overnight burns during our longer cold stretches.

Answer

Is this wood really sourced near Billings, and does that matter?

Yes, all our firewood is cut locally near Billings, which matters because hauling firewood long distances is one of the main ways pests like the emerald ash borer spread into new areas, so buying and burning local protects area trees.

Answer

How does delivery actually work?

You choose a cord size and delivery date, we bring the load to your address, and it is dropped loose in your driveway, since stacking is not included in the delivery.

Answer

What is a cord, and how do the smaller sizes compare?

A full cord is 128 cubic feet of stacked wood, measuring 4 feet high by 4 feet deep by 8 feet long, and our quarter, third, and half cord options are simply fractions of that same stacked volume, so a half cord is roughly 64 cubic feet.

Answer

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

Yellowstone County occasionally issues air quality advisories during winter inversion events, so it is worth checking local notices on high pollution days and holding off on non essential burning until conditions clear.
