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.
Placing an order online was so easy. Delivery was on time. When the driver realized we had a newly poured driveway they erred on the side of caution and opted not ti drive in it. The company even sent me a message explaining that call. Would recommend!

How Much Firewood Do I Need?
For a typical Eau Claire heating season running late September to mid May, plan on 3 to 5 cords if wood is your primary heat source, or a half cord to a cord and a half for occasional fireplace use.
What is a 1/4 Cord?
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.
What is a 1/3 Cord?
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.
What is a 1/2 Cord?
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.

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 order in for the next day online and they came right at 9 AM. The employee who dropped off the mulch did a great job, putting it right on the tarp I laid out, she even made sure none of it got on the yard and double checked the truck bed to make sure it all came out. The mulch was exactly what I needed and arrived right on time.
While you are prepping the yard for winter, consider topping off garden beds with mulch or bringing in soil for fall planting before Eau Claire's ground freezes, all available through our regional delivery pages.
Stack your wood off the ground on pallets or rails so snowmelt and spring thaw do not wick moisture back into the bottom rows. Leave the top loosely covered with a tarp but keep the sides open for airflow, since fully wrapping a stack in our humid summers traps moisture and slows seasoning instead of helping it.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Red oak and sugar maple both burn long and hot, making them ideal for overnight coals that will still have embers by morning. Keep a bundle of birch on hand for kindling and fire starting, since its papery bark lights fast even when the air is damp, which is common during our shoulder seasons.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Order your wood in late summer before the first frost hits in late September, since demand climbs fast once temperatures drop and well seasoned wood becomes harder to find. Ordering early also gives you time to stack and let the wood settle into your woodshed before the season's first real cold snap arrives.
Wood Heat in Eau Claire
Eau Claire winters run long, with frost typically arriving by late September and lingering into May, which means many households are feeding a stove or fireplace for six months or more. Wood that has not been properly seasoned struggles to burn hot in this kind of extended cold snap, wasting heat and fouling chimneys with creosote. Our supply is dried down to a low moisture content before delivery, which matters more here because Wisconsin's humid summers and snowy winters slow natural drying if wood is left unprotected. Local hardwoods like red oak, sugar maple, and white birch make up most of what we deliver, all species that Chippewa Valley households have burned for generations because of their dense, long burning coals. Buying wood seasoned and ready near Eau Claire also means you are not gambling on green wood arriving right when the season's first hard freeze hits.
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

Answer
How many cords of wood do I need to get through an Eau Claire winter?
A household burning a wood stove as a primary heat source through our roughly six month heating season, from late September frost to mid May, typically goes through 3 to 5 full cords. Those using a fireplace or stove just for supplemental warmth on cold nights often get by with a half cord to a cord and a half.
Answer
What does seasoned firewood actually mean and why does it matter here?
Seasoned means the wood has dried enough that its moisture content is low enough to burn cleanly and hot, generally under 20 percent. In our humid summers, freshly cut wood can take six months to a year to dry properly if left uncovered, so buying wood that is already seasoned saves you from a winter of smoky, weak fires and heavy creosote buildup in the chimney.
Answer
What kinds of wood will I actually get delivered?
Most loads are a mix of red oak, sugar maple, and white birch, all species common to the woodlots around the Chippewa Valley. Oak and maple burn long and hot for overnight fires, while birch lights easily and works well for getting a fire started.
Answer
Why does it matter if the firewood is sourced locally?
Firewood moved long distances can carry pests like the emerald ash borer into new areas, which has already devastated ash trees across Wisconsin. We source our wood near Eau Claire specifically so you are not unknowingly introducing an infestation to your own yard or neighborhood.
Answer
How does delivery to my driveway actually work?
You choose your cord size and a delivery date, and we dump the load loose in the driveway spot you point us to. Stacking is not included, so plan on having space and a bit of time to move it into a woodshed or stack before it snows.
Answer
What is the difference between a quarter cord, a half cord, and a full cord?
A full cord is 128 cubic feet of stacked wood, measuring 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 proportionally, so you can match the size to how much wood you will realistically burn or have room to store this season.
Answer
Are there any local rules about burning wood in Eau Claire?
Eau Claire County occasionally issues air quality advisories during winter inversions when smoke can settle low over the valley, so it is worth checking local notices on high pollution days and avoiding smoldering, low oxygen fires. Burning well seasoned wood like ours produces far less smoke than green wood, which helps keep your fires compliant and your neighbors happy.
