About this firewood

A quarter cord of seasoned hardwood, split and ready to burn. A tidy starter load for occasional fires and fireplace evenings through the season.

I needed 3 yards of top soil and that's what I got! Right on time and right where I asked it to be placed (Order# 2041).

For an average Cleveland winter with occasional weekend fires, a quarter to half cord is usually enough. Homeowners who burn regularly from October through spring should plan on a full cord or more to avoid running out mid season.

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. Smaller sizes are the same stack at a quarter, half, or three quarters of that volume.

While you are prepping your yard for winter, check out our mulch and soil options on the same Cleveland regional page to protect garden beds from the areas clay soil and freeze thaw cycles before the snow arrives.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your wood off the ground on pallets or rails so Cleveland's damp lake effect air does not wick moisture back into the bottom rows. Leave gaps between rows for airflow and cover only the top of the stack, keeping the sides open. Fully covering a stack traps humidity underneath and can undo months of proper seasoning before you even burn it.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Oak and maple are your best bet for long overnight burns since they hold coals well through cold Cleveland nights, while ash and cherry ignite fast and are ideal kindling companions. Try knocking two split pieces together, a sharp crack usually means well seasoned wood, while a dull thud suggests it still has moisture to lose.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your firewood in late summer or early fall, well before the October 1 first frost, since demand spikes hard once temperatures drop and popular cord sizes can sell out fast. Ordering early also gives you time to get everything stacked and settled before the ground softens with the first snow or cold rain.

Wood Heat in Cleveland

Cleveland winters run long, with a first frost around October 1 and heating season often stretching well past Last frost on May 10, so a woodpile needs real staying power. Our seasoned hardwood is dried down to burnable moisture before it ever leaves the yard, which matters in a Zone 6b climate where Lake Erie humidity can keep green wood from drying out on its own once its stacked outside. We work with local species like seasoned oak, maple, ash, and cherry, all common to Northeast Ohio woodlots. Burning wood that has not properly seasoned in this climate means more creosote, more smoke, and a lot less heat for your effort. Because our supply is sourced near Cleveland, it has already had time to season through our clay soil region drying conditions before delivery. That means less time waiting on your end and more nights of a fire that actually throws heat.

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 Cleveland winter?

Most Cleveland households burning a few nights a week from around the first frost in October through the last frost in May go through half a cord to a full cord. Homeowners relying on wood heat as a primary source often need two to three full cords, given how long our heating season runs at this elevation and latitude.

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 instead of hissing and smoking. In a humid Lake Erie climate like ours, unseasoned wood can take six months to a year to dry properly outdoors, so buying pre seasoned wood saves you a full season of waiting and gives you better heat output right away.

Answer

What kind of wood will I actually get delivered?

Expect a mix of local hardwoods common to Northeast Ohio woodlots, mainly oak, maple, ash, and cherry. Oak and maple burn longer and hotter for overnight fires, while ash and cherry catch quickly and are great for getting a fire started.

Answer

Why does it matter that the wood is sourced near Cleveland instead of trucked in from somewhere cheaper?

Moving firewood long distances is one of the main ways invasive pests like the emerald ash borer spread from region to region. Our wood is sourced locally near Cleveland specifically so it stays within the same pest zone it grew in, which protects area trees.

Answer

Is a rick the same as what you call a quarter or half cord?

Some Ohio and Midwest customers use the term rick or face cord for a stack that is 4 feet high by 8 feet long but only as deep as the log length, usually 16 to 18 inches. That generally lines up close to our quarter cord measurement, but we sell strictly by fraction of a full cord, which is 128 cubic feet stacked 4 feet by 4 feet by 8 feet, so you always know exactly what you are getting.

Answer

How does delivery actually work, will you stack it for me?

We deliver your order loose, dumped directly at the driveway. Stacking is not included, so plan on having a tarp, rack, or clear space ready so you can get it stacked and covered before rain or snow settles in.

Answer

Are there any local rules about burning wood in Cleveland?

Cleveland and surrounding Cuyahoga County occasionally issue air quality advisories during winter temperature inversions, when smoke can settle low over neighborhoods. On advisory days its worth keeping fires smaller and making sure your wood is fully seasoned, since dry hardwood produces far less particulate smoke than green or damp wood.
