Ordered Dirt. Received Dirt. Would Buy Again.

Most Burlington homes that treat wood heat as a supplement do well with a half cord to one cord for the season, while primary wood heat households should plan on three to four full cords to comfortably reach the mid May thaw.

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.

Placing an order online was so easy. Delivery was on time. When the driver realized we had a newly poured driveway they erred on the side of caution and opted not ti drive in it. The company even sent me a message explaining that call. Would recommend!

Complete Your Outdoor Project

While you are prepping the property for winter, consider pairing your firewood order with mulch or stone from our Burlington area lineup to protect garden beds and pathways from the same freeze thaw cycles that make well seasoned wood so important here.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your wood off the ground on pallets or rails so Burlington's spring mud and snowmelt cannot wick moisture back into split faces you already paid to have seasoned. Leave gaps between rows for airflow, and top the stack loosely with a cover that sheds snow but does not seal in humidity. A stack that breathes through our damp autumns and heavy snow loads will stay burn ready all winter instead of resoaking.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Sugar maple and yellow birch split faces should look uniformly gray, not tan or damp, and two pieces knocked together should ring rather than thud. If you want a quick check, a moisture meter reading under 20 percent on a fresh split face means it is ready. Red oak takes longer to season than maple, so mixed loads may burn slightly differently piece to piece.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order well before the first frost around October 5 if you want your stack fully settled before Burlington's cold arrives in earnest. Waiting until December often means competing with everyone else's last minute orders, and wood delivered late in the season has had less time to finish drying in your own storage spot before you need to burn it.

Wood Heat in Burlington

Burlington winters stretch from an early October frost to a mid May thaw, which means many households are running woodstoves for six months or more. In that stretch, green or half seasoned wood is a real liability because it burns cool, glazes chimneys with creosote, and struggles to catch in the damp cold air off Lake Champlain. Our wood is seasoned locally in the same clay loam and humidity conditions it will be burned in, so it is already adjusted to Burlington's air before it reaches your driveway. We work mostly with sugar maple, yellow birch, and red oak, species that grow throughout Chittenden County and are known for steady, long burning heat. Choosing wood that has already dried down here, rather than trucked in from a different climate, means fewer smoky starts and more even heat on the coldest January nights.

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 Burlington winter?

For a home that uses a woodstove as a primary heat source through Burlington's roughly six month heating season, most households burn between three and four full cords. If wood is more of a supplement for cozy evenings and weekend fires, a half cord to one cord usually carries you from the October frost through the last cold snaps in May.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has dried for months after splitting until its moisture content drops low enough to burn cleanly, typically under 20 percent. In Burlington's humid, snowy climate, unseasoned wood can hiss, smoke, and coat your chimney with creosote instead of throwing real heat, so buying wood that is already seasoned before delivery saves you a full drying season of waiting.

Answer

What kinds of wood will I actually get?

Expect a mix dominated by sugar maple, yellow birch, and red oak, the hardwoods most common in the forests around Chittenden County. These species are dense and burn long and hot, which suits Burlington's extended cold season much better than softer, faster burning woods.

Answer

Is this wood actually local, and does that matter?

Yes, our firewood is sourced near Burlington rather than trucked in from another region. Buying local matters because moving firewood long distances is one of the main ways invasive pests like the emerald ash borer spread into new forests, so keeping wood close to where it is cut and burned protects the trees around your own neighborhood.

Answer

How does delivery to my driveway actually work?

You choose your cord size, we schedule a delivery window that fits our Burlington routes, and the wood is dumped loose at the end of your driveway. Stacking is on you, so it helps to have your storage spot cleared and ready before the truck arrives.

Answer

What is a cord, and how do your 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. Our quarter cord is a quarter of that stack, our third cord and half cord are proportionally larger, and the full cord is the whole 128 cubic foot stack, so you can match the size to how much wood your Burlington home actually burns in a season.

Answer

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

Vermont's air quality guidance encourages burning only seasoned, dry hardwood and avoiding smoky, smoldering fires, especially during winter inversion days when cold air traps smoke close to the ground in the Champlain Valley. Sticking with well seasoned wood like ours helps you burn cleaner and stay in line with those local air quality expectations.
