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.

Wonderful experience! They put the mulch exactly where we wanted. This mulch spread very easily and didn’t have the usual “mulch smell.” We will definitely use again!

For most Centennial households, a half cord to full cord covers a typical winter of regular fireplace use, while daily wood stove heating through the full October to May frost window often requires closer to two cords.

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

If you are already prepping your property for winter, pair your firewood order with mulch or stone from our Centennial regional page to protect garden beds and walkways before the clay soil freezes solid.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your wood off the ground on a pallet or rack with the bark side up to shed moisture, since Centennial's clay soil holds water near the surface even in a dry climate. Leave gaps between rows for airflow and cover only the top, not the sides, so wind can keep pulling moisture out through the long winter months without trapping condensation underneath a full tarp.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Local oak and ash burn hot and slow once established, so build your fire with smaller kindling first and add split hardwood once you have solid coals going. A tight bark to bark stack in the firebox chokes airflow, so leave space between splits and you will get a longer, steadier burn through cold Centennial nights.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your firewood in late summer or early September, well before the October 5 frost date, since demand climbs fast once nighttime temperatures drop and popular cord sizes can sell out during the first cold snap. Buying early also gives any slightly under seasoned splits extra weeks to dry before you need them for a hard freeze.

Wood Heat in Centennial

Centennial sits at 5,837 feet with a heating season that stretches from early October frost through early May, meaning many households burn wood steadily for six or more months. At this elevation the air runs dry, which actually helps firewood season faster than in humid climates, but it also means green or poorly cured wood can look ready when it is still holding hidden moisture in the center of the split. Our stock is seasoned hardwood sourced locally, typically oak and ash mixes common to the Front Range, chosen for steady heat output and manageable smoke in Zone 6a's cold, dry winters. Burning properly seasoned wood matters here because Centennial's clay soil and low humidity swings can trick homeowners into underestimating drying time. Local wood also means less creosote buildup during those long stretches between October and May when the chimney is working hardest.

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 Centennial home need to get through winter?

With frost arriving around October 5 and lasting until roughly May 5, most Centennial homes burning a few nights a week go through one half cord to a full cord per season, while daily burners often need one and a half to two cords to cover the full stretch of cold months.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has dried down to a low enough moisture content to burn cleanly, usually six months to a year after splitting. In Centennial's dry, high elevation air this happens faster than in humid regions, but green wood still smokes heavily, burns cooler, and builds up creosote fast during our long heating season.

Answer

What kind of wood species should I expect in my delivery?

Our loads are a locally sourced hardwood mix, typically oak and ash common to the Denver metro and Front Range foothills, chosen for dense, long burning coals that hold heat well through cold Centennial nights.

Answer

Is this firewood actually local, and does that matter?

Yes, all our wood is sourced near Centennial rather than trucked in from out of state. Firewood should always be bought close to where it is burned because moving it long distances spreads invasive pests like the emerald ash borer, which has already impacted ash trees across the Denver area.

Answer

How does delivery actually work?

You choose a cord size, we schedule a delivery window, and the wood is dropped loose in your driveway. Stacking is not included, so plan to move it to your storage area soon after drop off, especially before the ground freezes hard in late fall.

Answer

What is a cord and how do your 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 roughly a quarter of that volume, the third cord about a third, the half cord half, and the full cord the entire 128 cubic feet, so you can size your order to match how much wood your stove or fireplace burns through in a Centennial winter.

Answer

Are there any local rules about burning wood in Centennial?

During periods of poor winter air quality, the Denver metro area including Centennial sometimes issues voluntary or mandatory burn advisories, so it is worth checking local air quality notices on high pollution days before lighting a fire, particularly during still, cold stretches in December and January.
