How Much Firewood Do I Need?
For Graham's roughly five month heating season, occasional burners typically need a quarter to a third of a cord, while daily woodstove users should plan on a half cord to a full cord to get through to the mid April thaw.
What is a 1/4 Cord?
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.
What is a 1/3 Cord?
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.
What is a 1/2 Cord?
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.

First time going with this company for mulch and it was an efficient process from start to finish. Website was easy—I told them exactly where I wanted the mulch put on my driveway, and it was delivered perfectly when I got home from work the next day. Best deal around when I compared it to competitors and I will definitely be becoming back.

While you are prepping the yard for winter, consider pairing your firewood order with a load of bark mulch or landscape stone from our Graham area page to protect garden beds through the same wet, cold months ahead.
In Graham's wet winters, stack firewood off the ground on pallets or rails so moisture from the gravelly sandy loam soil does not wick up into your rounds. Cover the top of the stack with a tarp or roof panel but leave the sides open to airflow, since fully wrapping the pile traps humidity and slows seasoning instead of protecting it.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Bigleaf maple and alder light easily and are great for building a fast, hot bed of coals, while Douglas fir burns a bit faster and resinous, so mixing species in the firebox gives you quick heat from the softer wood and steadier coals to bank overnight from the maple.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Order your wood in late summer or early fall, well before the November 3 average first frost, so it has time to settle and finish drying in your storage area before the coldest nights arrive, rather than scrambling for a delivery once temperatures have already dropped.
Wood Heat in Graham
Graham sits at about 830 feet elevation with a heating season that runs from early November frost through mid April, which means woodstoves and inserts here often run for five or six months straight. That long a burn window punishes green or half seasoned wood fast, since unseasoned rounds smolder, tar up flues, and throw off far less heat when Pierce County's damp Pacific air keeps moisture levels high in unprotected wood piles. Our firewood is split and seasoned before it reaches your driveway so it lights fast and burns hot even during the soggy stretches between frosts. Locally sourced bigleaf maple, Douglas fir, and red alder make up much of what we deliver, since these are the species that dry reliably in our regional humidity without going punky. Buying wood that was cut and seasoned near Graham instead of trucked in from a drier climate means less creosote buildup and a stove that actually keeps up with our long, wet winter.
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.

Answer
How much firewood does a typical Graham household burn in a winter?
Most homes here that heat with a stove several nights a week through our roughly five month cold stretch, from the November 3 average first frost to the April 15 last frost, go through one half to a full cord in a season, while homes that use firewood mainly for ambiance or occasional weekend fires often get by on a quarter to a third of a cord.
Answer
What does seasoned firewood actually mean, and why does it matter here?
Seasoned means the wood has dried down to a low moisture content after being split and stored, and in Graham's damp, mild climate that process takes real time outdoors under cover, since our air holds enough moisture that green wood left uncovered can take well over a year to dry properly. Burning wood that has not seasoned enough leads to smoky, low heat fires and heavier creosote buildup in your flue.
Answer
What kind of wood will I actually get?
Expect a mix dominated by species common to this part of Pierce County, mainly bigleaf maple, red alder, and Douglas fir, all sourced from local suppliers rather than trucked in from out of region.
Answer
Is the firewood really local, and does that matter?
Yes, our wood is sourced near Graham, and keeping firewood local matters because hauling wood long distances is one of the main ways invasive pests like the emerald ash borer spread into new areas, so buying and burning near where the wood was cut helps protect the trees around your own property.
Answer
How does delivery to my house work?
We deliver your chosen amount loose to your driveway on the scheduled date, and since stacking is not part of the service, it helps to have a clear, accessible spot ready before the truck arrives.
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, and our quarter, third, and half cord options are simply proportional slices of that same stacked volume, so a half cord is 64 cubic feet and a quarter cord is 32 cubic feet, letting you match delivery size to how much stove use you expect this winter.
Answer
Are there any local rules about burning wood in Graham?
Pierce County can issue burn bans or air quality advisories during periods of stagnant winter air, so it is worth checking current local air quality notices before planning heavy stove use on especially still, cold days, and choosing well seasoned wood like ours helps keep smoke output lower even on marginal air days.
