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 Fort Collins household burning several nights a week through the winter, a half cord to a full cord is a reasonable starting point, with heavier users needing more.

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 your property for winter, consider adding mulch or stone from our Fort Collins regional page to protect garden beds through the region's cold, dry months ahead of the first frost.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your wood off the ground on a pallet or rack so air can move underneath, since Fort Collins's dry climate helps prevent rot but ground contact still invites moisture and pests. Leave gaps between rows for airflow, and if possible, position the stack where it gets afternoon sun but stays shielded from heavy snow drifts common along the foothills in winter storms.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Local hardwoods like ash burn cleaner and more predictably than cottonwood, which tends to burn faster and leave more ash behind. For efficient fires in our dry climate, start with smaller split pieces to build coals quickly, then add larger splits once the fire is established, which reduces smoke output during winter air quality advisories.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your firewood well before the first hard frost around September 30, since demand climbs quickly once nighttime temperatures drop and supply of properly seasoned wood tightens. Buying early also gives freshly split wood extra weeks to finish drying in Fort Collins's low humidity air before you need it for the coldest stretch of winter.

Wood Heat in Fort Collins

Fort Collins winters stretch from the first frost around September 30 to the last frost near May 10, which means many households are running wood stoves or fireplaces for well over five months. At 5,003 feet, the air is thinner and often drier, which actually helps firewood season well but also means green wood burns poorly and produces more smoke and creosote in the crisp, low humidity air along the Front Range. Local hardwoods like Rocky Mountain juniper, cottonwood, and ash have different densities and burn times, so knowing what you are getting matters for how often you need to reload the stove on a cold January night. Properly seasoned wood, dried to the right moisture content before delivery, lights faster and burns hotter in our dry climate, which is exactly what a long Fort Collins heating season demands.

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 need to get through a Fort Collins winter?

Most households burning a few nights a week from October through April go through a half cord to a full cord, depending on how often the stove is running and how well insulated the home is. Homes that rely on wood heat as a primary source through our long five plus month heating season often use a full cord or more.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has been dried down to a lower moisture content instead of being freshly cut, which is critical in our dry Front Range air because green wood struggles to catch and puts more creosote into the chimney. All our firewood is seasoned and split, so it is ready to burn as soon as it hits your driveway.

Answer

What kind of wood will I get with my delivery?

Expect a mix of local hardwoods sourced from around the Fort Collins area, commonly including ash and cottonwood, chosen for solid heat output and manageable burn times suited to our long winters.

Answer

Why does it matter that the firewood is sourced locally?

Firewood should always be bought near where it is burned, because hauling wood long distances is one of the main ways invasive pests like the emerald ash borer spread into new areas. Our wood is sourced locally near Fort Collins, which keeps it fresh and helps protect the region's remaining ash trees.

Answer

How does delivery actually work?

We deliver your chosen cord size loose to your driveway on the scheduled date, and stacking is not included, so plan to have space cleared and ready before the truck arrives.

Answer

What is the difference between a quarter cord, a third 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. A half cord is roughly half that volume, a third cord is about a third, and a quarter cord is a quarter of a full cord, so you can scale your order to match your stove use and storage space without overbuying.

Answer

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

Fort Collins and Larimer County occasionally issue air quality advisories on high pollution days that ask residents to limit unnecessary wood burning, so it is worth checking local advisories during winter inversions common to our valley setting before planning a big burn night.
