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 typical Fond du Lac heating season running mid October through mid April, plan on one to three full cords depending on how often you burn and how large your space is.

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 pairing your firewood order with mulch or soil from our Fond du Lac regional page to protect garden beds before that October 19 frost arrives.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your wood off the ground on pallets or racks so Fond du Lac's snow melt and spring thaw do not wick moisture back into split faces. Leave gaps between rows for airflow, and cover only the top of the stack, keeping the sides open so humidity from our lake effect air can escape rather than get trapped against the bark.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Oak and hickory from our area take longer to catch but reward you with long, steady coal beds ideal for overnight burns during deep cold snaps. Start fires with faster catching maple splits or kindling, then add denser oak once the firebox is hot, so you get quick heat plus lasting warmth through the night.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your cords in late summer, well before the October rush, since demand climbs fast once temperatures drop and that October 19 first frost approaches. Buying early also gives freshly split wood extra weeks to season further in your own stack before you need it burning hot.

Wood Heat in Fond du Lac

Fond du Lac winters run long, with a first frost around October 19 and the last frost lingering into mid April, meaning 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, damp climate near Lake Winnebago, producing more smoke and creosote buildup than dry wood. We season our hardwood through a full Wisconsin summer so moisture content drops before it ever reaches your driveway. Local species like oak, hickory, and hard maple are common in our area and are prized for their long, steady burn through our sub zero stretches. Because Fond du Lac sits at 760 feet elevation with silt loam soils that support dense hardwood forests nearby, we are able to source wood close to home rather than trucking it in from unknown regions.

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 Fond du Lac winter?

Most homes here burning a stove regularly through our long heating season, roughly October to April, go through one to three full cords depending on how often the stove runs and how well insulated the house is. Homes using firewood just for occasional weekend fires can often get by on a quarter or half cord.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has dried out over months, usually a full summer, so its moisture content is low enough to burn cleanly. In our humid Wisconsin summers followed by cold, damp winters, green or wet wood smokes heavily, burns cooler, and builds up creosote fast, which is a real chimney fire risk during our long burn season.

Answer

What kinds of wood will I get with a Fond du Lac delivery?

Expect a mix of local hardwoods common to our area, mainly oak, hickory, and hard maple, all known for dense, long lasting coals that hold heat well through overnight cold snaps.

Answer

Is this firewood actually sourced locally, and does that matter?

Yes, all our wood is sourced near Fond du Lac rather than trucked in from distant regions. This matters because moving firewood long distances is one of the main ways invasive pests like the emerald ash borer spread into new areas, threatening the ash trees still standing around our neighborhoods.

Answer

How does delivery to my driveway actually work?

We drop your order loose at the driveway on the scheduled date, and from there stacking and moving it into your storage area is on you, since stacking is not part of the delivery service.

Answer

What is the difference between a quarter, third, half, and 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 roughly a quarter of that volume, the third cord about a third, and the half cord half the stack, giving you flexible options depending on how much storage space or budget you are working with.

Answer

Are there any local rules about burning wood in Fond du Lac?

Wisconsin DNR guidance recommends burning only seasoned, dry wood to reduce smoke and particulate output, especially during winter inversion days when air quality can dip in the Fox Valley region, so seasoned hardwood is both a comfort choice and a good neighbor choice.
