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.

Ordered Dirt. Received Dirt. Would Buy Again.

For a typical Fargo heating season running late October through April, plan on one to two cords for occasional fireplace use and two to three cords for a wood stove used as a regular heat source.

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 Fargo, North Dakota

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack firewood off the ground on pallets or rails so snowmelt and spring thaw do not wick moisture back into the bottom rows. Leave gaps between rows for airflow and angle the top of the stack or cover it loosely with a tarp, keeping the sides open so the wood can still breathe. In our humidity swings, a fully sealed cover often traps moisture and undoes months of seasoning.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Ash splits tend to catch quickly and burn hot, making them a good base for getting a fire established fast on a subzero night, while denser elm holds coals longer for overnight burns. A simple moisture check is to knock two splits together, seasoned wood tends to sound like a sharp crack, while green wood sounds more like a dull thud.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your firewood in late summer or early fall, well before the first frost typically hits around October 11, so it has time to finish drying in your own stacking setup and so you are not scrambling once temperatures drop fast. Waiting until the first cold snap often means longer delivery windows and less time for any extra seasoning before you need to burn.

Wood Heat in Fargo

Fargo winters run long, with a first frost around October 11 and a last frost near May 13, 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 cold, producing more creosote and less heat when you need it most. Our firewood is seasoned local hardwood, mostly ash, elm, and box elder pulled from the Red River Valley area, split and dried down before it ever reaches your driveway. Because it comes from near Fargo, it has had time to acclimate to our clay loam soil region and its typical dryness swings rather than arriving wet from a distant, more humid climate. That local sourcing also means fewer hitchhiking pests riding in on the bark. Burning wood that matches our zone 4a conditions simply performs better, night after night, all winter long.

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 Fargo winter?

It depends on how you burn, but a household using a wood stove as a primary heat source through our long heating season often goes through two to three full cords, while occasional fireplace use might only need a half cord or a quarter cord. Homes here typically start fires by late October and keep going until well into April, so plan around that stretch rather than a shorter season.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has dried down to a lower moisture content after being cut and split, usually six months to a year depending on species. In our cold, often dry winter air, seasoned wood lights faster, burns hotter, and leaves less creosote buildup in the chimney than green wood that still has sap and moisture locked inside.

Answer

What kinds of wood will I actually get delivered?

Expect a mix of hardwoods common to the Red River Valley, mainly ash, elm, and box elder, all sourced locally rather than trucked in from far away. Ash in particular burns clean and hot, which makes it a reliable choice for the coldest stretches of a Fargo winter.

Answer

Is the wood really sourced near Fargo, and does that matter?

Yes, all of our firewood comes from within the local region rather than being shipped in from other states. Keeping firewood local matters because moving it long distances is one of the main ways pests like the emerald ash borer spread, and our area has already seen the damage that pest can do to ash trees.

Answer

How does delivery work once I place an order?

After you choose your cord size, we schedule a delivery window that fits your driveway access and the current ground conditions, since a frozen or muddy Fargo driveway can affect timing. The wood is dumped loose at your driveway, not stacked, so you will want a plan for moving it before it needs to be under cover.

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 one fourth of that volume, our third cord is roughly a third, and our half cord is exactly half, so you can scale your order to match how much wood storage space and burning time you actually have.

Answer

Are there any local rules I should know about before burning firewood outdoors or in a stove?

Fargo and Cass County periodically issue air quality advisories during winter inversions, when smoke can settle low over neighborhoods, so it is worth checking local notices on high pollution days before running an outdoor fire. Indoor wood stove burning is generally unrestricted, but using well seasoned wood helps reduce the smoke output that triggers those advisories in the first place.
