How Much Firewood Do I Need?
For most Kalispell homes, one to two cords covers supplemental wood heat through our long cold season, while full time wood burners should plan closer to two to three cords.
What is a 1/4 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.
What is a 1/3 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.
What is a 1/2 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.

First time going with this company for mulch and it was an efficient process from start to finish. Website was easy—I told them exactly where I wanted the mulch put on my driveway, and it was delivered perfectly when I got home from work the next day. Best deal around when I compared it to competitors and I will definitely be becoming back.

If you are prepping your property for winter, pair your firewood order with mulch or soil from our Kalispell regional page to protect garden beds before the ground freezes solid.
Stack your wood off the ground on pallets or rails so snowmelt and spring runoff do not wick moisture back into the bottom rows. Leave gaps between rows for airflow, and cover only the top of the stack, since fully wrapping a woodpile traps humidity underneath and can undo months of seasoning during our wetter shoulder seasons.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Birch and aspen light quickly and are great for building a base fire, but they burn faster than denser woods, so mix in any larch you receive for longer, steadier heat overnight. A quick moisture check with an inexpensive meter should read below 20 percent before you count on a piece for serious overnight burning.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Order your firewood in late summer, well before the September 11 average first frost, so it has time to settle in your stacked pile and you are not scrambling once temperatures drop. Waiting until the first cold snap often means longer lead times as everyone in the valley places orders at once.
Wood Heat in Kalispell
Kalispell winters run long, with first frost arriving around September 11 and last frost lingering until May 12, which means a heating season that stretches well past six months for most homes near Flathead Valley. At 2,953 feet elevation, cold air settles into the valley and stays put, so a woodstove or insert often becomes the daily workhorse rather than a backup heat source. Green or half seasoned wood struggles to keep pace with that kind of demand, especially when overnight lows stack up week after week. Our seasoned hardwood is dried down before it reaches your driveway, so it lights faster and burns hotter even during the coldest stretches of a Montana winter. Local species like larch, birch, and bigtooth aspen respond well to proper seasoning, giving you cleaner burns and less creosote buildup in your flue. Loam soils and the valley's dry seasoning conditions in summer help wood cure well before it ever reaches you.
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 Kalispell house need to get through winter?
Most homes here using wood as a primary heat source burn through two to three full cords across a season that runs from mid September frost to mid May, given how long our valley stays cold. If your stove is more supplemental, used on weekends or cold snaps, a half cord to one cord is often enough.
Answer
What does seasoned firewood actually mean, and why does it matter here?
Seasoned means the wood has dried down to a lower moisture content instead of being freshly cut, or green. In our climate, burning green wood wastes heat boiling off moisture instead of warming your home, and it builds up creosote fast in a flue that already works hard through our long winters.
Answer
What kind of wood species will I get with a Kalispell delivery?
Expect a mix of local hardwoods common to the Flathead Valley, primarily birch and bigtooth aspen, sometimes with larch mixed in depending on availability. These species season well in our dry summer air and give a solid, steady burn through cold snaps.
Answer
Is this firewood actually sourced near Kalispell, or shipped in from elsewhere?
All our firewood is sourced locally near Kalispell. Moving firewood long distances is one of the main ways invasive pests like the emerald ash borer spread between regions, so keeping wood local protects the forests around the valley that we all rely on.
Answer
How does delivery actually work, do you stack it for me?
We deliver your order loose to your driveway rather than stacked, which keeps costs down and lets you arrange your woodpile exactly where you want it for airflow and easy access during snowy months.
Answer
What is the difference between a quarter cord, a half cord, and a full cord?
A full cord is 128 cubic feet stacked, measuring 4 feet high by 4 feet deep by 8 feet long. From there, a half cord is roughly half that volume, a third cord is about a third, and a quarter cord is roughly a quarter of a full cord, so you can scale your order to match your stove's needs and your storage space.
Answer
Are there any local rules about burning wood I should know about in Kalispell?
The Flathead Valley occasionally issues air quality advisories during winter temperature inversions, when smoke can settle low in the valley instead of dispersing. Burning well seasoned wood rather than green wood produces less smoke and helps you stay in good standing during those advisory periods.
