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 typical Buffalo heating season running late October through April, plan on 3 to 4 full cords if wood is a regular heat source, or a half to full cord for occasional fireplace use.

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.

While you are prepping for winter, check out our mulch and soil options on the same Buffalo regional page to protect garden beds from the clay soil freeze and thaw cycles common in this area.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your firewood off the ground on pallets or rails so lake effect moisture and melting snow do not wick up into the bottom rows. Leave gaps between rows for airflow, and top the stack with a rigid cover or tarp that shields it from rain and snow but still lets sides breathe, since fully wrapped wood traps humidity and slows seasoning even further in our damp climate.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Local hardwoods like oak and maple take longer to catch than softer woods, so build your fire with a base of smaller kindling before adding split logs. Test a log's readiness by knocking two pieces together, seasoned wood gives a sharp crack while green wood sounds dull, a quick check that saves you from a smoky, underperforming fire on a cold January night.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your firewood in late summer or early fall before the October frost hits, since demand climbs fast once Buffalo temperatures drop and popular sizes like the half and full cord can book up during the first cold snap. Ordering early also gives any slightly under seasoned wood extra weeks to dry out before you need it most.

Wood Heat in Buffalo

Buffalo winters run long, with heating season stretching from October's first frost through late April, so homeowners here burn wood for six months or more. That kind of demand means green or half dried wood simply will not cut it, since unseasoned logs hiss, smoke, and throw off far less heat when temperatures drop below freezing. Our seasoned hardwood is dried down to the low moisture content that burns hot and clean in lake effect humidity, which tends to keep wood damp if it is not stored right. Local species like sugar maple, red oak, and white ash are staples here because they split well, season reliably, and put out strong sustained heat through the coldest stretches. Buying wood that has already gone through a proper Buffalo area drying cycle means less creosote buildup in your chimney and more warmth per log.

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 Buffalo winter?

Most Buffalo households burning a few nights a week from October through April go through 3 to 4 full cords, though a home relying on wood as a primary heat source can use more. Occasional weekend fire pit or fireplace use might only need a quarter or half cord to last the season.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has dried for months after splitting until its internal moisture drops low enough to burn efficiently, generally under 20 percent. In Buffalo's humid, lake effect climate, unseasoned wood holds onto moisture longer than in drier regions, so starting with properly seasoned wood saves you from smoky, low heat fires and chimney creosote buildup during our long heating season.

Answer

What kind of wood will I get with a Buffalo delivery?

Expect a mix of local hardwoods common to Western New York, primarily sugar maple, red oak, and white ash, all known for dense, long burning heat output that holds up well through a full winter's use.

Answer

Is this firewood actually local, and does that matter?

Yes, all our wood is sourced near Buffalo rather than trucked in from far away. Keeping firewood local matters because moving wood long distances is one of the main ways pests like the emerald ash borer spread into new forests, and Western New York has already seen significant ash losses from this insect.

Answer

How does delivery to my driveway actually work?

We schedule a delivery window, then drop your order loose in the driveway rather than stacked, since stacking is not included. This keeps costs down and lets you arrange your wood however fits your storage setup, whether that is a woodshed or a tarped pile along the garage.

Answer

How do your cord sizes compare to a full cord?

A full cord is 128 cubic feet, measuring 4 feet high by 4 feet deep by 8 feet long when stacked. Our quarter cord is about a third of that in linear stacked footage, the third cord is roughly 43 cubic feet, and the half cord gets you to 64 cubic feet, so you can scale your order to your woodstove's appetite and your storage space.

Answer

Are there any local rules about burning wood in Buffalo?

Buffalo and Erie County occasionally issue air quality advisories during winter inversions, when smoke can linger closer to the ground, so it is worth checking local advisories on high pollution days and avoiding smoldering, low oxygen fires, which happen most often with wood that was not properly seasoned.
