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 most Cheyenne households, a half cord covers a supplemental heating season, while full time wood heat users should plan on ordering a full cord before the first hard frost in October.

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 firewood off the ground on pallets or rails so Cheyenne's dry winds can circulate underneath and prevent moisture wicking up from clay loam soil. Angle the stack slightly and cover only the top with a tarp, leaving the sides open for airflow. Fully wrapping the pile traps humidity against the wood and slows seasoning, even in our dry climate.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

When building a fire with local ash or elm, start with a smaller kindling base since these species need a hotter initial flame to catch cleanly. A simple moisture test is to knock two split pieces together, well seasoned wood produces a sharp crack rather than a dull thud, which is a fast way to check a load before stacking it away for the season.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your firewood well before the October 5 average first frost date, since seasoned wood availability tightens up once cold weather hits and everyone in Cheyenne starts calling at once. Ordering in late summer also gives any slightly green splits extra weeks to dry out in the yard before you need them for a hard freeze.

Wood Heat in Cheyenne

Cheyenne winters run long, with frost typically arriving by October 5 and lingering into mid May, meaning many households are burning wood for six months or more. At 6,062 feet, the dry high plains air actually helps with seasoning, but it also means green wood that looks dry can still be holding hidden moisture inside the rings. Locally sourced hardwoods like ash, elm, and cottonwood need a full season under cover to drop moisture content low enough to burn hot and clean. Unseasoned wood in this climate smokes more, coats your chimney with creosote faster, and puts out less heat exactly when you need it most. Buying seasoned wood already split and ready to burn skips the guesswork and gets useful heat into your home from the first load.

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

Answer

How much firewood do I actually need to get through a Cheyenne winter?

With frost season stretching from early October to mid May, most homes using a wood stove as a supplemental heat source burn through a half cord to a full cord over the season. Households relying on wood as a primary heat source, especially in older homes with drafty windows common in Cheyenne's historic neighborhoods, often go through a full cord or more.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has been split and dried for months so its internal moisture is low enough to burn efficiently. In Cheyenne's dry climate this process works faster than in humid regions, but green wood sold as seasoned will still smoke heavily and burn cold, which matters a lot when you are counting on it to heat through a long stretch of subzero nights.

Answer

What kind of wood will I actually get delivered?

Our firewood is sourced from hardwoods common to the region around Cheyenne, primarily ash and elm with some cottonwood mixed in depending on availability. These species split cleanly and, once properly seasoned, provide steady, dependable heat suited to wood stoves and fireplaces alike.

Answer

Why does it matter that the wood is sourced locally near Cheyenne?

Firewood should always be bought near where it will be burned because hauling wood long distances can spread invasive pests like the emerald ash borer into new areas. Keeping our supply local protects the trees in your own neighborhood while also cutting down on transport time between cutting and delivery.

Answer

How does delivery actually work once I order?

You choose your cord size and a delivery date, and the load arrives loose in your driveway rather than stacked, since stacking is not included. This gives you full control over where and how you arrange it for airflow and easy access all winter.

Answer

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

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 one fourth of that volume, our third cord is one third, and our half cord is exactly half, so you can scale your order to match how much wood storage space you have and how long your heating season runs.

Answer

Are there any local rules about burning wood in Cheyenne?

Cheyenne does not currently operate a formal wood burning advisory program like some larger Front Range cities, but it is still good practice to keep an eye on local air quality notices during winter inversions and avoid burning green or wet wood, which produces far more visible smoke and particulate than properly seasoned hardwood.
