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.

One of the easiest customer service experiences I've had in a long time! Mulch Mound made it so simple. After putting it off for a while, I looked at the weather and knew I needed to get to mulching ASAP before the rain came if I didn't want to wait another week. I put my orde...

For most Columbia Falls households, a half cord to a full cord covers light seasonal use, while full time woodstove heat through our long Zone 5b winter usually calls for three to five 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.

Areas we deliver firewood in Columbia Falls, Montana

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your firewood off the ground on pallets or rails so air can move underneath, and keep the top covered but the sides open to the wind that comes down off the mountains around Columbia Falls. Full sun exposure and afternoon breeze speed up drying and prevent mold in our sandy loam soil areas where ground moisture can linger. Avoid tarping the entire pile tightly, since trapped moisture rots wood from the inside even in a dry climate.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Larch and birch both make excellent starter wood because they catch quickly and burn hot, which helps get a stove going fast on a bitter Columbia Falls morning. Once the fire is established, denser hardwood holds coals longer through the night. A quick moisture test with a simple meter should read below 20 percent before you count on a log to burn efficiently.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your firewood in late summer, well before the September 16 first frost, so it has time to finish drying and settle into storage before cold weather arrives. Waiting until October often means green or barely seasoned wood, and delivery windows fill up fast once the valley gets its first hard freeze warning.

Wood Heat in Columbia Falls

Columbia Falls sits at over 3,000 feet in a Zone 5b climate, which means a long heating season that often starts before the first frost on September 16 and doesn't let go until well after the April 15 last frost. That is nearly seven months of woodstoves and fireplaces working hard against Flathead Valley cold. Wood that has not been properly seasoned carries excess moisture that burns dirty, produces more creosote, and struggles to throw real heat when temperatures drop below zero. Our hardwood is seasoned specifically for this climate so it lights easily and burns hot even during the coldest stretches of a Montana winter. Local species like larch, birch, and maple are dried down to the low moisture content that this valley's dry, sandy loam surroundings actually help preserve once split and stacked correctly.

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 Columbia Falls winter?

Most households burning a woodstove regularly from October through April, given our long Zone 5b heating season, go through three to five full cords, while occasional fireplace users often get by on one to two cords.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has dried for months after splitting until moisture content drops low enough to burn cleanly, which matters in Columbia Falls because green wood loses heat output fast in subzero temperatures and builds dangerous creosote in chimneys during our long burn season.

Answer

What kinds of wood will I get living near Columbia Falls?

Expect a mix of local hardwoods like birch and maple along with some larch, all sourced from around the valley rather than shipped in from elsewhere.

Answer

Why does it matter that the wood is sourced locally instead of trucked in from far away?

Moving firewood long distances is one of the main ways invasive pests like the emerald ash borer spread into new forests, so keeping our supply sourced near Columbia Falls protects the timber that surrounds this valley.

Answer

How is a cord actually measured, and what do your smaller sizes mean?

A full cord is 128 cubic feet stacked, 4 feet high by 4 feet deep by 8 feet long, and our quarter, third, and half cord options are simply proportional slices of that same stacked volume for smaller stoves or shorter burn seasons.

Answer

Do you deliver stacked wood or just dump it in the driveway?

We deliver loose wood to your driveway and stacking is not included, so many Columbia Falls customers set aside an afternoon to move it into a covered woodshed or under a tarp before the fall rains set in.

Answer

When should I order firewood before winter hits Columbia Falls?

Order early enough to let the wood settle in a dry spot before that September 16 first frost, since demand and delivery wait times both climb once the valley starts seeing its first hard freezes.
