I have ordered twice now, a pleasure to deal with, easy and fast delivery, beautiful mulch!

For Gary's extended heating season, occasional burners typically do well with a half cord to a full cord, while daily wood heat users should plan on 3 to 4 full cords to make it comfortably from the October frost to the May thaw.

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 your wood off the ground on a pallet or rack so Gary's humid air and melting snow do not wick moisture back into split logs. Leave gaps between rows for airflow and angle the top of the stack or use a cover so rain and snow shed off rather than soaking in, especially during the wetter shoulder months around first and last frost.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Oak burns long and steady, making it a good overnight choice, while ash lights faster and works well for getting a fire established before adding denser splits. Test moisture by knocking two pieces together, seasoned wood gives a sharp crack while green wood sounds dull and thudding, a quick way to judge quality before you build a fire.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order before mid September if possible, since demand climbs fast as Gary's October 2 average first frost approaches and well seasoned wood can sell through quickly once temperatures drop. Buying early also gives any slightly less dry splits extra weeks to finish drying in your stack before you need them.”

Wood Heat in Gary

Gary sits in growing zone 6a with a heating season that typically stretches from early October through mid May, which means many households are running a wood stove or fireplace for well over six months. Lake Michigan's humidity keeps the air heavier than inland Indiana, so green or partially dried wood struggles to combust cleanly and tends to smolder and smoke in local chimneys. Our firewood is seasoned hardwood, split and dried down to a low moisture content before it ever leaves the yard, so it lights faster and burns hotter through Gary's long, damp winters. Local species like oak, hard maple, and ash are common in this part of northwest Indiana and each brings different heat output and burn time to a firebox. Because our wood is sourced near Gary, it has already adjusted to the same humidity your wood pile will sit in all winter, which shortens the additional drying time needed once it reaches your driveway.

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 Gary winter?

With first frost typically arriving around October 2 and last frost not until May 17, Gary's heating season runs a long stretch. A household burning several nights a week as a primary or major supplemental heat source often goes through 3 to 4 full cords, while occasional fireplace users may only need a half cord to a full cord for the whole season.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has been split and dried until its internal moisture is low enough to burn efficiently, rather than being freshly cut and still full of sap and water. In Gary's humid lakeside air, green wood dries much slower than in drier climates, so starting with wood that is already seasoned saves you from smoky, low heat fires all winter.

Answer

What kinds of wood will I get in my delivery?

Deliveries are a mix of local hardwoods common to northwest Indiana, typically oak, hard maple, and ash, all sourced near Gary rather than trucked in from far away. These species are known for solid heat output and a steady, longer burn compared to softer woods.

Answer

Why does it matter that the firewood is sourced locally?

Firewood should always be bought near where it is burned because hauling it long distances is one of the main ways invasive pests like the emerald ash borer spread from one region to another. Our wood is sourced locally near Gary, so you get seasoned hardwood without contributing to that risk.

Answer

How does firewood delivery actually work?

You choose your cord size, pick a delivery date, and the wood is dropped loose in your driveway at the scheduled time. Stacking is not included, so plan to have space cleared and a plan for moving it to your stacking area shortly after drop off.

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, third cord, and half cord options are simply fractions of that same 128 cubic foot volume, so a half cord is roughly 64 cubic feet and a quarter cord is roughly 32 cubic feet, letting you match delivery size to your storage space and how much you actually burn.

Answer

Are there any local rules I should know before burning firewood in Gary?

Northwest Indiana, including Lake County where Gary sits, can be subject to regional air quality advisories during certain stagnant weather conditions, so it is worth checking local notices before heavy burning on those days. Sticking with well seasoned hardwood also helps reduce smoke output compared to burning green or wet wood.
