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 a full wood heating season in Ellensburg, most households order between 2 and 4 cords, split across deliveries if storage space is tight.

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.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack firewood off the ground on pallets or rails so air can move underneath, since Ellensburg's dry climate helps wood season but ground moisture from irrigation runoff or snowmelt can still creep into a low stack. Leave gaps between rows for airflow, and cover just the top of the stack rather than wrapping it fully, so the sides stay exposed to the valley's naturally low humidity.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Before loading your stove, do a quick check by knocking two pieces together, seasoned wood makes a sharp, hollow crack rather than a dull thud. Bigleaf maple lights fast and works well for building a bed of coals, while denser oak burns longer and is better added once the fire is established, which suits the long, cold nights typical of the valley.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your wood well before the first frost in late September, since demand picks up fast once temperatures drop and popular sizes like the half cord and full cord can book out during early cold snaps. Ordering in late summer also gives any borderline pieces extra time to finish drying before you need them.

Wood Heat in Ellensburg

Ellensburg sits at 1,565 feet in the Kittitas Valley, where the heating season stretches from a first frost around September 25 to a last frost near May 12, meaning many households are running woodstoves or inserts for well over half the year. The valley's dry, low humidity air is actually a benefit here, it helps firewood season faster than in wetter parts of the state, but it also means green wood that looks dry on the outside can still be holding moisture inside. Locally sourced hardwood, seasoned properly before delivery, burns hotter and cleaner through our long, cold Kittitas Valley winters and cuts down on the creosote buildup that comes from burning wood too soon after cutting. Species common to this area, including bigleaf maple and oak brought in from nearby working lands, hold heat well through the long nights typical of our high desert climate. Buying wood seasoned and ready to burn means less guesswork when the first real cold snap hits in late fall.

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 Ellensburg winter actually take?

With a heating season that runs roughly from late September to mid May, most Kittitas Valley homes using a wood stove as a primary heat source burn through 3 to 4 full cords, while homes using wood as a supplemental heat source alongside another furnace often get by on 1 to 2 cords.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has dried enough after splitting that its moisture content is low enough to burn efficiently, generally taking six months to a year depending on species. In Ellensburg's dry valley air this process moves along faster than in coastal Washington, but wood still needs real time off the truck before it is at its best, which is why we deliver only wood that has already gone through that seasoning process.

Answer

What kind of wood will I actually get?

Our loads are made up of local hardwoods such as bigleaf maple and oak sourced from the region around Ellensburg, chosen for solid heat output and a manageable burn rate through cold valley nights.

Answer

Why does it matter that the firewood is sourced locally?

Firewood cut and dried near Ellensburg stays free of pests like the emerald ash borer that can hitch a ride in wood hauled long distances, so keeping wood local protects the cottonwoods, maples, and other trees already growing throughout the Kittitas Valley.

Answer

How does delivery to my property actually work?

We bring your order straight to your driveway and unload it loose, which keeps costs down, but it means you will want a clear spot ready and, if you plan to stack it, some time set aside afterward.

Answer

What exactly is a cord, and how do the smaller sizes compare?

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, the third cord is a third, and the half cord is exactly half, so you can size your order to match your stove use and storage space without overbuying.

Answer

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

Kittitas County can issue burn restrictions during periods of poor air quality, particularly in winter inversion conditions common to the valley, so it is worth checking local air quality advisories before heavy burning on stagnant, cold days.
