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.

Ordered Dirt. Received Dirt. Would Buy Again.

Most Kalamazoo homes burning wood a few nights a week through the winter do well with a half cord to a full cord, while occasional fire pit or fireplace use can get by on a quarter or third 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.

Complete Your Outdoor Project

While you are prepping the yard for winter, consider a load of mulch or bark from our Kalamazoo material page to protect root systems through the freeze, or bagged topsoil to fill in low spots before the ground locks up for the season.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your wood off the ground on pallets or rails so it does not sit in melting snow or spring mud, both common in Kalamazoo's sandy loam yards. Leave gaps between rows for airflow, and cover only the top of the stack, since fully wrapping firewood traps humidity and slows seasoning. A stack exposed to wind and sun on at least two sides will stay drier through our long, damp winters.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Oak and hickory from our local mix burn longer and hotter, making them good choices for overnight coals during Kalamazoo's coldest stretches in January and February. Maple lights faster and works well for kindling a fire before adding denser splits. If you want to check moisture yourself, split a piece open and press a moisture meter to the freshly exposed face rather than the bark, since bark readings are often misleadingly low.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your firewood in late summer or early September, well before Kalamazoo's first frost typically arrives around October 11. Ordering early gives your stack extra weeks to finish drying in the still warm, breezy late summer air, and it also means you are not competing with the rush of last minute orders once temperatures drop and demand spikes across the region.

Wood Heat in Kalamazoo

Kalamazoo winters run long, with frost typically arriving by October 11 and lingering until mid May, which means a genuine six month heating window for anyone burning wood as a primary or supplemental heat source. Southwest Michigan's sandy loam soils support a mix of oak, hickory, ash, and maple, and these local hardwoods are exactly what we deliver, split and dried down to a proper burn moisture. Green or half seasoned wood struggles in our humid Michigan air, smoldering instead of burning clean, so we season our wood through a full spring and summer cycle before it reaches your driveway. Buying local also protects our region's tree canopy, since firewood is one of the easiest ways emerald ash borer and other pests travel between counties. A well seasoned cord burns hotter, produces less creosote in your chimney, and simply makes the long Kalamazoo winter easier to manage.

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 Kalamazoo household burn in a winter?

For a home using a wood stove as a supplemental heat source through our roughly six month season from mid October to mid May, most Kalamazoo households use somewhere between one half cord and a full cord. Homes relying on wood as a primary heat source, or those with drafty older housing stock common in Kalamazoo's historic neighborhoods, often go through a full cord or more.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has dried for at least six to twelve months after splitting, dropping its moisture content low enough to burn cleanly. In Kalamazoo's humid summers, unseasoned wood holds onto moisture longer than in drier climates, so we make sure every load has had a full season outdoors before delivery, which means less smoke, less creosote buildup, and a hotter, more efficient fire.

Answer

What kinds of wood will I actually get delivered?

Our loads are sourced from hardwoods common to southwest Michigan's sandy loam forests, primarily oak, hickory, and maple, with some ash mixed in. These species are dense, burn long, and are well suited to the extended heating demands of a Kalamazoo winter.

Answer

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

Yes, all of our firewood is cut and split near Kalamazoo rather than trucked in from other regions. This matters because moving firewood long distances is one of the main ways invasive pests like the emerald ash borer spread from county to county, so buying and burning locally helps protect the trees still standing in our area.

Answer

How does delivery and unloading actually work?

We schedule a delivery window that fits your timeline, then bring your chosen cord size directly to your property and unload it loose at the edge of your driveway. Stacking is not included, so plan on some time to move and stack the wood once it arrives, ideally before ground freeze sets in.

Answer

What is the difference between a quarter cord, a third cord, a half cord, and a full cord?

A full cord is a stack measuring 4 feet high by 4 feet deep by 8 feet long, equal to 128 cubic feet of stacked wood. A half cord is roughly 64 cubic feet, a third cord is about 43 cubic feet, and a quarter cord is close to 32 cubic feet, so you can size your order based on how much storage space you have and how long you expect to burn.

Answer

Are there any local rules about burning wood I should know about?

Kalamazoo does not currently have a formal ordinance banning residential wood burning, but during periods of poor air quality it is good practice to hold off on non essential outdoor fires, especially in denser neighborhoods where smoke can settle in still, humid air common to our region.
