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.

Great service. We ordered topsoil from Mulch Mound and the best experience. Thank you so much!

For most Cranston homes using wood as supplemental heat, one to two cords covers the season, while primary wood heat users should plan closer to three or four cords delivered before the coldest months hit.

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're prepping your yard for winter anyway, pair your firewood order with mulch or stone from our Cranston regional page to protect garden beds before the first frost settles in.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your wood off the ground on pallets or rails so Cranston's damp fall soil doesn't wick moisture back into the bottom rows. Leave the top loosely covered but the sides open to airflow, since fully tarping a stack traps humidity and slows seasoning. A spot with afternoon sun and some wind exposure dries wood faster than a shaded corner against the house.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Oak burns slow and steady once established, making it ideal for overnight coals, while ash lights easier and works well for getting a cold stove going quickly on a frosty Cranston morning. Try mixing species, using ash to start the fire and oak to sustain it through the evening for a more efficient burn.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your firewood in late summer or early fall before Cranston's first frost around October 22, since waiting until the cold sets in means competing with everyone else placing last minute orders. Buying early also gives any extra drying time a chance to work in your favor if the wood needs another few weeks to season fully.

Wood Heat in Cranston

Cranston sits in growing zone 6b with a heating season that typically runs from late October through mid April, which means many households are feeding a stove or fireplace for close to six months. Green or improperly seasoned wood struggles in southern New England because the humidity here slows drying, so wood that has not been dried for at least six to twelve months often hisses and smokes instead of burning clean. Our firewood is seasoned hardwood, mostly oak, ash, and sugar maple pulled from woodlots near Cranston, all species that split well and hold heat through a long Rhode Island night. Properly seasoned wood burns hotter, produces less creosote buildup in the chimney, and is simply safer for the tight lot sizes and older housing stock common in Cranston neighborhoods. Because our supply stays local, you also avoid the moisture swings that come from wood trucked in from a different climate zone.

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 Cranston house burn in a winter?

A household running a wood stove as a primary heat source through Cranston's roughly six month heating season often goes through three to four full cords, while a fireplace used a few nights a week for ambiance might only need a half cord to a cord.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has been split and dried for at least six to twelve months so the moisture content drops low enough to burn clean, which matters in Cranston because our humid summers and damp falls slow natural drying compared to drier inland climates.

Answer

What kinds of wood will I actually get?

Expect a mix of oak, ash, and sugar maple, all common hardwoods around Cranston that split cleanly and produce long, steady coals suited to cold nights below freezing.

Answer

Is this wood actually local, and does that matter?

Yes, we source near Cranston rather than trucking wood in from other regions, which helps prevent the spread of pests like the emerald ash borer that can hitch a ride in firewood moved long distances.

Answer

How does delivery work if I don't have anywhere to store a full cord?

You can order by the quarter, half, or three quarter cord instead of a full cord, and we'll drop the load loose in your driveway so you can stack only what fits your space.

Answer

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

A full cord is a stack measuring four feet high by four feet deep by eight feet long, totaling 128 cubic feet, so a half cord is half that volume and a quarter cord is a quarter, giving Cranston buyers flexible sizing without needing a full stack's worth of storage space.

Answer

Are there any local rules about burning wood I should know about?

Rhode Island issues air quality advisories on certain still, cold days in winter, so it's worth checking local advisories before lighting up if you're near a densely built Cranston neighborhood where smoke can linger.
