Denver Firewood Delivery

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

Seasoned means the wood has dried down to around 20 percent moisture or less, which matters in Denver because our dry climate can fool people into burning wood too early, and unseasoned wood burns dirty, produces less heat, and builds up more creosote in flues during our long heating season.

What kind of wood will I actually get?

You can expect a mix of local hardwoods such as oak, ash, and hickory sourced from the Front Range area, all selected for good density and steady burn times through cold Denver nights.

Is this firewood really local, and does that matter?

Yes, our wood is sourced near Denver rather than trucked in from other regions, which matters because moving firewood long distances is one of the main ways pests like the emerald ash borer spread into new areas, putting Colorado's remaining ash trees at risk.

How does delivery actually work?

You pick your cord size, schedule a delivery day, and we drop the wood loose in your driveway, so plan on having space cleared and a tarp or rack ready if you want it off the pavement quickly.

What is the difference between a cord, a rick, and the fraction sizes you sell?

A full cord is 128 cubic feet stacked 4 feet high by 4 feet deep by 8 feet long, and while some buyers moving here from Missouri or Kansas ask about a rick or face cord, that term usually lines up closest to our quarter to third cord range depending on how it is stacked, so we sell strictly by the quarter, half, three quarter, and full cord to keep things consistent.

Are there any local rules about burning wood in Denver?

Denver periodically issues high pollution advisories in winter that ask residents to limit wood burning on certain days, so it is worth checking current air quality advisories before planning heavy burning during still, cold stretches when inversions settle over the metro area.
