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.

For steady winter heating in Grand Junction, plan on a half cord to a full cord depending on how often your stove or fireplace runs between mid October and late April.

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

Pair your firewood order with mulch or soil from our Grand Junction regional page to protect garden beds through our cold nights and dry winter winds.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your wood off the ground on pallets or rails so air can move underneath, and keep the top covered but the sides open since Grand Junction's dry climate actually helps wood cure faster when airflow is not blocked. Avoid tarping the entire pile tightly, because trapped moisture from occasional snow melt can slow seasoning even in our arid conditions.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Test moisture by splitting a piece open and checking the freshly exposed face, dry seasoned wood should look dull rather than shiny and feel cool rather than damp. Oak takes longer to season than cottonwood, so if your delivery includes a mix, expect the oak pieces to burn a bit hotter and longer once fully dry.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order ahead of the October 15 frost date rather than waiting for the first cold snap, since local supply tightens once Grand Valley households start stocking up for winter. Ordering in late summer also gives any slightly green wood extra weeks to finish drying in our low humidity air before you need it burning hot.

Wood Heat in Grand Junction

Grand Junction sits at 4,586 feet with a heating season that stretches from mid October frost through late April, giving Mesa County homeowners nearly six months of cold nights that call for a reliable wood supply. Our dry high desert air is actually an advantage here, low humidity speeds up seasoning and helps split hardwood shed internal moisture faster than it would in a wetter climate. Locally sourced oak and cottonwood, along with some pinon and juniper mixed in from nearby elevations, are common in Grand Junction wood piles because they grow within the Grand Valley and surrounding foothills. Seasoned wood matters more here than people expect, because green wood burns cooler, smokes more, and creosote builds up faster in the dry air, which is a real chimney fire risk during our long winters. Buying wood that already sat through a summer under our intense sun means it is ready to perform the first cold night of the season, not months later.

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 Grand Junction winter?

Most Grand Junction households burning a few nights a week from October through April use somewhere between a half cord and a full cord. If you rely on a wood stove as a primary heat source rather than occasional fireplace ambiance, plan closer to a full cord or more given our long frost window from October 15 to April 22.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has dried down to a workable moisture level after being cut and split, typically six months to a year depending on species. In our dry Grand Junction air this happens faster than in humid climates, but green wood sold too early still burns poorly, smokes heavily, and builds creosote faster, which is a real concern given how long our stoves run each winter.

Answer

What kind of wood will I get with a Grand Junction delivery?

Expect a mix of local hardwoods including oak and cottonwood, sometimes with pinon or juniper depending on availability, all sourced from the Grand Valley and nearby foothill areas rather than shipped in from out of state.

Answer

Why does it matter that the firewood is sourced locally near Grand Junction?

Moving firewood long distances is one of the main ways pests like the emerald ash borer spread into new regions. Sourcing near Grand Junction keeps our local trees safer and keeps your wood pile free of hitchhiking insects that could damage the cottonwoods and other hardwoods already growing in the valley.

Answer

How does delivery to my driveway actually work?

You choose your cord size, we schedule a delivery window that fits your timeline, and the wood is dropped loose in your driveway rather than stacked. Many customers coordinate delivery a few weeks before the mid October frost date so the wood has time to settle before daily burning starts.

Answer

What is the difference between a quarter cord, a half cord, and a 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 roughly a third, and the half cord half the total, so you can scale your order to match how much you actually burn across a Grand Junction winter without paying for more wood than you need.

Answer

Are there any local burn restrictions I should know about?

Mesa County occasionally issues air quality advisories during winter inversion events when cold air settles in the valley and traps smoke close to the ground. It is worth checking local advisories on high pollution days, since burning well seasoned wood rather than green wood significantly reduces the smoke output during these periods.
