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.

We had a great experience with mulch mound! Our mulch arrived when we requested. The delivery fee was so reasonable. We’ll use them again for sure!

For a full Hammond heating season of regular burning, plan on a half cord to a full cord, and for occasional fires a quarter or third cord is usually plenty.

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 the yard for winter, pair your firewood order with mulch or soil from our Hammond regional page to protect beds before the ground freezes solid in clay heavy soil.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your wood off the ground on pallets or rails so Region humidity and melting snow do not wick moisture back up into the bottom rows. Leave the top loosely covered with a tarp but keep the sides open to airflow, since fully wrapping a stack traps moisture against the wood and undoes the seasoning you are paying for.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Oak and hard maple both take longer to catch than ash, so build your fire with a smaller ash split as kindling before adding denser oak rounds for the long overnight burn. A quick moisture check is to knock two pieces together, properly seasoned wood gives a sharp crack, while green wood sounds dull and heavy.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order before the first frost hits Hammond around mid October, since demand climbs fast once temperatures drop and well seasoned wood sells out ahead of green replacement stock. Ordering early also gives any slightly underseasoned splits extra weeks to dry out in your rack before you actually need them.

Wood Heat in Hammond

Hammond sits in growing zone 6a with a frost window that runs from mid October to late April, which means a heating season long enough to burn through serious cordage if you rely on a wood stove or fireplace insert to take the edge off gas heating bills. Lake Michigan's moisture swings push humidity up and down across the Region, so wood that has not been properly seasoned can pick moisture back up in a damp stretch and hiss and smoke instead of throwing real heat. Our supply is dominated by oak, hard maple, and ash sourced from woodlots close to Hammond, all species that split clean and hold a coal bed well through a long Region winter night. Seasoning wood for the better part of a year lets the clay soil moisture these trees hold onto actually drop before it reaches your rack. That matters here because a green log burning next to Lake Michigan humidity will cost you heat output and leave more creosote in the flue than a properly dried piece would.

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 does a typical Hammond house burn through in a winter?

A home using a wood stove as a steady secondary heat source through Hammond's roughly six month frost window, October 13 to April 25, often burns through a half cord to a full cord across the season, while a house that only lights occasional evening fires may only need a quarter or a third cord.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has air dried long enough that its internal moisture has dropped well below a freshly cut, or green, log, and in a humidity swinging climate like Hammond's that lower moisture content is what keeps your fire burning hot instead of smoldering and building creosote in the flue.

Answer

What kind of wood will I actually get delivered?

Expect a mix of oak, hard maple, and ash pulled from woodlots near Hammond, all dense hardwoods that split well and hold a long, steady coal bed through cold Region nights.

Answer

Is this firewood actually sourced locally, and does that matter?

Yes, our wood comes from sources near Hammond rather than being trucked in from far away, and that local sourcing matters because hauling firewood long distances is one of the main ways invasive pests like the emerald ash borer spread from one region to another.

Answer

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

We deliver your chosen cord size loose to your driveway on the date you schedule, but stacking is not included, so plan on setting aside time or an extra pair of hands to move it into your rack.

Answer

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

A full cord is 128 cubic feet of stacked wood, measuring 4 feet high by 4 feet deep by 8 feet long, and our quarter, third, and half cord options are simply fractions of that same stacked volume, so a half cord is about 64 cubic feet while a quarter cord is about 32 cubic feet.

Answer

Are there any local rules about burning wood in Hammond?

Northwest Indiana falls under regional air quality monitoring tied to the greater Chicago metro area, so on days with poor air quality advisories it is worth checking local guidance before lighting an outdoor fire, though seasoned hardwood burned properly in an indoor stove produces far less smoke than green wood.
