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 Erie's long heating season, plan on at least one full cord for occasional use and two to three cords if wood heat is your main source of warmth from October through May.

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

While you are prepping for winter, consider a load of mulch or bagged soil from our Erie region page to protect garden beds before the first hard frost hits around October 15.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your firewood off the ground on pallets or rails so Erie's humid air and melting snow do not wick moisture back into the bottom rows. Leave gaps between rows for airflow, and cover only the top with a tarp, keeping the sides open so trapped humidity can escape instead of turning your seasoned wood damp again by January.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Oak burns long and steady, making it a good overnight choice, while ash lights quickly and works well for getting a cold stove going fast on frigid mornings. Mixing species in your firebox, starting with ash kindling and adding oak once coals form, gives you a faster start and a longer burn without wasting wood.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your firewood well before the first frost, since demand across the Erie area climbs fast once temperatures drop in mid October. Buying early not only guarantees availability but gives any last bit of surface moisture more time to shed before you actually need the wood burning in your stove.”

Wood Heat in Erie

Erie sits in growing zone 6a and takes lake effect winter seriously, with a heating season that often runs from mid October through early May. That is nearly seven months of demand on a woodstove or fireplace, so the moisture content of your firewood matters more here than almost anywhere else in Pennsylvania. Green or partially dried wood struggles to catch and burns cool in the damp lake effect air, leaving creosote in the flue and less heat in the room. Our seasoned hardwood, mostly local oak, ash, and maple, is dried down to burn hot and clean through Erie's long, humid winters. Because the region's clay soil and lake humidity slow natural drying outdoors, wood that has not been properly seasoned before delivery rarely dries out fast enough on its own once cold weather sets in.

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 an Erie winter?

Most Erie households burning a woodstove several nights a week from mid October through early May go through two to three full cords, while occasional fireplace users often get by on a half cord to a full cord. Homes that rely on wood heat as a primary source in this long lake effect season should plan closer to three or more cords.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has dried long enough to drop its internal moisture, usually to around 20 percent or less, so it lights easily and burns hot instead of hissing and smoking. In Erie's humid lake effect climate, unseasoned wood left outside often cannot dry fast enough once winter arrives, so buying wood that is already seasoned saves you a cold, smoky season.

Answer

What kind of wood will I actually get?

Expect a mix of local hardwoods common to the Erie area, primarily oak, ash, and maple, all sourced from within the region rather than trucked in from far away.

Answer

Why is it important that the firewood is sourced locally near Erie?

Moving firewood long distances is one of the main ways pests like the emerald ash borer spread into new areas, and Erie's ash trees have already been hit hard by this insect. Sourcing wood locally and burning it locally keeps new infestations from being introduced into yards and woodlots around the region.

Answer

How does delivery to my driveway actually work?

After you pick a cord size, we schedule a drop off date and deliver the wood loose to your driveway. Stacking is not included, so plan to move it to a covered spot within a few days, especially before Erie's lake effect snow starts piling up.

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 roughly a quarter of that volume, our third cord about a third, and our half cord half of a full cord, so you can scale your order to your woodstove use and storage space without overbuying.

Answer

Are there any local rules about burning wood in Erie?

Erie County occasionally issues air quality advisories during winter inversions when smoke and particulates can linger close to the ground, so it is worth checking local advisories on high pollution days and holding off on unnecessary burning until the air clears.
