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 Duluth homes, a half cord to a full cord covers a typical heating season, while full time woodstove users should plan for closer to two cords given how long our winters run.

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 Duluth, Minnesota

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your wood off the ground on pallets or rails so snowmelt and spring thaw don't wick moisture back into the bottom rows. Leave the top loosely covered but the sides open, since Duluth's humid air needs airflow to keep wood from reabsorbing moisture during long stretches of lake effect weather. A stack against a south facing wall gets extra help from winter sun.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Birch lights fast and burns hot but quick, making it great for kindling and getting a cold stove going on subzero mornings. Sugar maple and red oak burn slower and steadier, so mixing species lets you get a fast start with birch, then bank the fire overnight with denser maple or oak for longer, even heat.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your wood in late summer or early fall, well before the first frost typically arrives in mid September. Demand climbs fast once temperatures drop, and ordering early gives your stack more time to finish drying in your own yard before you need it for the first cold nights of the season.

Wood Heat in Duluth

Duluth's heating season stretches from mid September frost through early June, which means woodstoves and fireplaces here work harder and longer than almost anywhere else in Minnesota. Green or half seasoned wood struggles to burn clean in our humid lake effect air, throwing more creosote into chimneys during the long stretch of subzero nights. Our firewood is seasoned locally for months before delivery, so moisture content drops enough for hot, efficient fires from November through April. Local hardwoods like birch, sugar maple, and red oak dry more slowly in this climate than in drier regions, which is exactly why we source and season on our own timeline instead of rushing wood to market. Buying wood that has actually had time to season near Duluth means fewer smoky fires and less tar buildup when temperatures drop well below zero.

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 Duluth winter?

Most Duluth households burning a few nights a week from October through April use somewhere between a half cord and a full cord. If your woodstove is your primary heat source and you're running it daily through our long frost window from September to June, plan closer to two full cords.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has dried enough that moisture content is low, usually after six months to a year of proper storage. In Duluth's humid, lake influenced air this takes longer than in drier climates, and burning wood that hasn't had enough time results in smoky, low heat fires and heavier creosote buildup in your chimney during our coldest months.

Answer

What kind of wood will I actually get delivered?

Expect a mix of local hardwoods common to the Duluth area, including birch, sugar maple, and red oak, all split and dried before delivery. These species are known around here for solid heat output and manageable burn times through long winter nights.

Answer

Is this firewood actually sourced near Duluth, or shipped in from somewhere else?

All of our firewood is sourced locally near Duluth. Moving firewood long distances is a known way to spread invasive pests like the emerald ash borer, so keeping our supply local protects the hardwood stands throughout the region.

Answer

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

We deliver your order loose to the driveway. Stacking isn't included, so plan on some time to move and stack the wood yourself, ideally somewhere with airflow and cover before winter weather sets in.

Answer

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

A full cord is 128 cubic feet, stacked 4 feet high by 4 feet deep by 8 feet long. Our quarter cord is a quarter of that volume, our third cord and half cord scale up from there, giving you flexible options depending on how much wood your season actually requires.

Answer

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

Duluth occasionally issues air quality advisories during winter inversions when smoke can settle low over neighborhoods, so it's worth checking local notices on high pollution days and burning only well seasoned wood to keep smoke output down.
