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.

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!

For an average Centralia household burning several nights a week from late October to April, plan on one to one and a half cords, with heavier daily use pushing closer to two full 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.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your wood off the ground on pallets or rails and keep it under a roof or tarp that covers the top while leaving the sides open for airflow. Centralia's persistent fall and winter rain will soak an exposed pile fast, and trapped moisture without airflow invites mold. A simple lean to against a fence on the south side of your property, angled to shed rain, works well here.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Before loading your stove, do a quick moisture check by splitting a piece open and pressing a moisture meter to the freshly exposed face rather than the weathered exterior. Bigleaf maple and alder can look dry on the outside while still holding water inside, especially after a run of Centralia's foggy, damp mornings, so this inside test gives a truer read.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your wood in late summer or early fall, well before the October 25 average first frost, so it has time to finish drying in your own stacked pile before you need it lit. Waiting until the first cold snap often means competing with every other household in the valley placing rush orders at once.

Wood Heat in Centralia

Centralia sits in the Chehalis River valley where fall rain moves in early and lingers, so wood cut and split just weeks before a cold snap rarely has time to dry out before you need it. Our heating season here runs from that first frost around October 25 clear through to the last frost near April 20, which means six long months of stoves and inserts working overtime in damp, mild but persistent Pacific Northwest cold. Local hardwoods like bigleaf maple, red alder, and Oregon white oak all hold moisture longer than wood from drier climates, so proper seasoning time matters more here than almost anywhere else. We season our wood ahead of time so it is ready to burn hot and clean instead of hissing and smoldering in your firebox. With zone 8b winters rarely dropping to extreme lows, the real challenge in Centralia is humidity control, not deep freeze, and dry wood is your best defense against creosote buildup in a wet climate.

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 Centralia winter?

Most households burning a few nights a week from late October through April go through one to one and a half cords. If your woodstove is your primary heat source rather than a supplement, plan closer to two full cords, since our damp Chehalis valley cold snaps tend to linger rather than break quickly.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has dried down to a proper burn moisture, typically under 20 percent, instead of being freshly split and full of sap and water. In a humid area like Centralia, green wood struggles to dry on its own before the rains set in, so buying pre seasoned wood saves you a smoky, low heat fire and cuts down on creosote in your flue.

Answer

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

Expect a mix of local hardwoods common to southwest Washington, primarily bigleaf maple, red alder, and some Oregon white oak. These species are sourced for solid heat output and split to a size that catches easily even on a damp morning.

Answer

Why does it matter that the firewood is sourced locally?

Firewood hauled in from outside the region can carry invasive pests like the emerald ash borer into new territory, which is a real risk to our local tree cover. Sourcing near Centralia keeps our forests healthier and means the wood is already adapted to our climate and drying conditions.

Answer

How does delivery to my driveway actually work?

We drop your order loose at the driveway rather than stacked, since stacking is a separate service. Plan to have a tarp or covered space ready nearby so you can move it before our fall rains soak an uncovered pile.

Answer

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

A full cord is 128 cubic feet stacked, measuring 4 feet high by 4 feet deep by 8 feet long. A half cord is half that volume, a third cord is roughly 43 cubic feet, and a quarter cord is about 32 cubic feet, so you can size your order to your stove use and storage space without overbuying.

Answer

Are there any local burn rules I should know about?

Southwest Washington falls under Washington Clean Air burn ban guidance during periods of stagnant winter air, so it is worth checking local air quality advisories before lighting up on a still, foggy Centralia evening. Burning fully seasoned wood also helps reduce the smoke output that triggers these advisories in the first place.
