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.

Placing an order online was so easy. Delivery was on time. When the driver realized we had a newly poured driveway they erred on the side of caution and opted not ti drive in it. The company even sent me a message explaining that call. Would recommend!

For most Hartford households, a half cord to a full cord covers a typical heating season of moderate use, while daily burners should plan for two or more cords delivered before the first October frost.

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 winter, check out our mulch and soil delivery for Hartford properties to protect garden beds before the ground freezes in late fall.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your firewood off the ground on pallets or rails to keep it away from Hartford's damp soil and silty loam, which holds moisture longer than sandier ground. Leave gaps between rows for airflow and cover only the top of the stack, keeping the sides open so humidity trapped under a full tarp does not slow seasoning or invite mold during our wetter months.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Test a split's readiness by knocking two pieces together, seasoned oak and maple should produce a sharp, hollow crack rather than a dull thud. Ash lights quickly even when slightly green, making it a good starter wood for early cold snaps, while dense oak is better saved for long overnight burns once your fire is established and coals are hot.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your firewood well before Hartford's first frost, typically mid October, since demand climbs fast once temperatures drop and popular cord sizes can sell out. Buying early also gives any slightly under seasoned splits extra weeks to dry out on your property before you need them for a cold November evening.

Wood Heat in Hartford

Hartford winters stretch from mid October frost through late April, giving homeowners roughly six months of heating season to plan for. Our region's mix of humid summers and cold, damp winters means green or improperly dried wood struggles to burn clean and hot in a Connecticut fireplace or wood stove. Seasoned hardwood, dried down to proper moisture levels before delivery, lights faster, burns hotter, and produces far less creosote buildup in chimneys during our long burn season. Local species like oak, sugar maple, and ash are dense enough to hold heat through cold January nights near the Connecticut River Valley. Because Hartford's air carries more moisture than drier climates, wood that has not been properly seasoned takes even longer to dry once stacked at home, so starting with truly seasoned wood matters more here than in arid regions.

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 need to get through a Hartford winter?

A household burning several nights a week from October through April typically uses two to three full cords, while occasional weekend fires might only need a half cord or quarter cord. Our long Connecticut heating season means steady burners should plan ahead rather than reorder mid winter.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has dried to a lower moisture content after being cut and split, usually six months to a year depending on species. In Hartford's humid climate, unseasoned wood resists drying and burns smoky and cool, so buying already seasoned wood saves you a season of frustration.

Answer

What kinds of wood will I actually get?

Expect a mix of species common to the Connecticut River Valley, including oak, sugar maple, and ash, all dense hardwoods that hold a long, hot burn through cold nights.

Answer

Is your firewood really sourced near Hartford?

Yes, all of our firewood is sourced locally near Hartford rather than trucked in from far away. Moving firewood long distances risks spreading invasive pests like the emerald ash borer, which has already impacted trees across Connecticut, so buying and burning local protects the region's forests.

Answer

How does delivery to my house actually work?

We deliver your chosen cord size loose to your driveway on the scheduled date. Stacking is not included, so plan for space and time to move it to your woodpile or storage area.

Answer

What is a cord, and how do the 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 roughly a quarter of that volume, our third cord about a third, and our half cord half of a full cord, so you can match your storage space and burn rate without over ordering.

Answer

Are there any local rules about burning wood in Hartford?

Connecticut occasionally issues air quality advisories during winter inversion periods, so it is worth checking local notices on high pollution days before lighting an outdoor fire, though seasoned hardwood burns cleaner than green wood in any conditions.
