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 occasional fireplace use, a half cord to one cord typically lasts a Grand Rapids winter, while full time wood heat users should plan on two to three cords to cover the season through May.

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 the cold, consider pairing your firewood order with a load of bulk mulch or topsoil from our Grand Rapids yard to protect garden beds before the ground freezes.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your wood off the ground on a pallet or rack so West Michigan's damp fall ground does not wick moisture back into split logs. Leave gaps between rows for airflow, and cover only the top of the stack with a tarp, keeping the sides open so humidity from lake effect weather can escape rather than getting trapped against the bark.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Oak and hickory from our local mix burn slow and steady, ideal for overnight coals, while ash lights faster and works well for building an initial fire. A quick moisture test with an inexpensive meter should read near 20 percent or below before you consider a piece truly ready to burn clean.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your firewood in late summer or early fall, well before the October 1 frost date, since demand climbs fast once temperatures drop and local supply tightens. Ordering early also gives any recently split pieces extra weeks to finish drying in your stack before the coldest stretch of the Grand Rapids season arrives.

Wood Heat in Grand Rapids

Grand Rapids winters run long, with a heating season that stretches from the first frost around October 1 well into May, so a reliable stack of dry wood matters more here than in milder climates. Our seasoned hardwood is dried down to the low moisture range needed for a clean, hot burn, which is important given West Michigan's lake effect humidity that can slow natural seasoning if wood is cut too late. Local species like oak, maple, ash, and hickory are common in our mix, each offering long, steady burn times suited to cold snaps off Lake Michigan. Buying wood that has already been properly seasoned means you are not fighting sap and trapped moisture during a January cold stretch. Because our supply comes from within the region, it also reflects the actual tree stock of Kent County rather than wood trucked in from unrelated climates.

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 Rapids winter?

If you are heating primarily with a wood stove through our full season from October to May, most Grand Rapids households use two to three full cords. If firewood is more of a supplemental or occasional fireplace fuel, a half cord to one cord usually covers a typical winter.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has been cut and dried long enough for moisture content to drop to a range that burns clean and hot. In our humid West Michigan climate, unseasoned or green wood can smolder, smoke heavily, and build creosote in your chimney, which is a real risk during our long cold season.

Answer

What kinds of wood will I get in my delivery?

Our loads are a mix of local hardwoods common to the Grand Rapids area, typically oak, maple, ash, and hickory, chosen for good density and long burn times through cold nights.

Answer

Why does it matter that the wood is sourced locally?

Firewood moved long distances can carry invasive pests like the emerald ash borer, which has already devastated ash trees across Michigan. Sourcing our wood locally near Grand Rapids keeps that risk contained and supports healthier forests region wide.

Answer

How does delivery actually work, do you stack it for me?

We deliver your order loose to the driveway. Stacking is not included, so plan on having space ready, ideally somewhere with airflow and cover before our fall rains and first frost around October 1 set in.

Answer

What is a cord, and how do your smaller sizes compare?

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 is about a quarter of that volume, our third cord about a third, and our half cord roughly half, so you can scale your order to your actual burn habits without committing to a full stack.

Answer

Is there anything I should know about local burn rules or air quality?

Grand Rapids does not currently have strict daily burn bans like some larger metro areas, but burning well seasoned wood instead of green wood significantly cuts smoke output, which matters most during the stagnant air days that can settle over the Grand River valley in winter.
