How Much Firewood Do I Need?
For most Kenosha households, a half cord to a full cord covers a typical winter of regular supplemental burning, while homes heating primarily with wood should plan closer to two to three cords to make it through to the April thaw.
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.

First time going with this company for mulch and it was an efficient process from start to finish.

Best deal around when I compared it to competitors and I will definitely be becoming back.

While you are prepping your property for winter, check out our bulk mulch and stone options for Kenosha yards, both suited to our clay loam soils and useful for insulating garden beds before the ground freezes.
Stack your firewood off the ground on pallets or rails so air can move underneath, and keep the top covered but the sides open to let humidity escape, since Kenosha's lake effect moisture can undo seasoning if wood is wrapped too tightly. Facing the stack toward prevailing winds and keeping it a few feet from siding also helps airflow and reduces the chance of pests settling in near your home.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Local oak and hard maple both burn long and hot once truly dry, making them a solid overnight choice, while ash lights faster and works well for building a quick fire from cold. A simple moisture meter can confirm wood is ready, aim for readings under 20 percent, since anything higher will still hiss and smoke even if it looks gray and aged on the outside.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Order your firewood well before Kenosha's first frost around October 15, since demand spikes hard once temperatures drop and well seasoned supply can run short. Buying early also gives any slightly less dry splits extra weeks to finish drying in your own stack before you actually need them for a cold November night.
Wood Heat in Kenosha
Kenosha sits in Zone 5b with a heating season that often stretches from mid October through late April, so a home that burns wood regularly can go through a serious volume of fuel before spring. Local hardwoods like oak, hard maple, and ash grown in our clay loam soils burn hot and steady once properly seasoned, which matters because Lake Michigan humidity slows down natural drying compared to drier inland regions. Wood cut and split just months ago is often still too wet to burn clean here, leading to smoky fires and creosote buildup in chimneys. That is why we season our hardwood fully before it reaches your driveway, so it lights easily and burns efficiently through our long winter stretch. Buying wood that has already dried through a full Kenosha summer means fewer cold nights spent fighting a stubborn fire.
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

Answer
How much firewood does a typical Kenosha home burn in a winter?
A household that burns a few nights a week for supplemental heat often uses around one to one and a half cords across our October to April season. Homes that rely on a wood stove as a primary heat source through Kenosha winters can burn three cords or more, especially during the coldest stretches in January and February.
Answer
What does seasoned firewood actually mean and why does it matter here?
Seasoned means the wood has dried for months after splitting until its internal moisture drops low enough to burn cleanly. In a humid lakeside climate like Kenosha's, green wood dries slower than in drier states, so unseasoned wood here tends to hiss, smoke, and leave heavy creosote in chimneys instead of throwing real heat.
Answer
What kind of wood will I get with a Kenosha delivery?
Expect a mix of local hardwoods common to southeastern Wisconsin, primarily oak, hard maple, and ash, all sourced from within our regional delivery area rather than shipped in from elsewhere.
Answer
Why does it matter if the firewood is sourced locally?
Moving firewood long distances is one of the main ways pests like the emerald ash borer spread into new areas, which is a real concern for Wisconsin's ash trees. Because we source wood near Kenosha and deliver it near Kenosha, you get fuel that supports local forest health instead of introducing risk from out of state loads.
Answer
How does delivery actually work once I order?
After you pick a cord size and schedule a delivery window, our truck drops the wood loose in your driveway or another spot you designate. Stacking is not included, so plan on some time to move and stack it yourself, especially before wet fall weather sets in.
Answer
What is the difference between a quarter cord, a half cord, and a full cord?
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, one third cord, and half cord options are simply fractions of that same volume, so a half cord is 64 cubic feet and a quarter cord is 32 cubic feet, letting you match the size to your storage space and how much you burn each winter.
Answer
Are there any local rules about burning wood I should know about?
Kenosha, like much of southeastern Wisconsin, can see periodic air quality advisories during winter inversions, so it is worth checking local notices on high pollution days before running an outdoor fire pit or extra stove loads. Sticking with dry, well seasoned hardwood also produces far less visible smoke, which helps keep your fires within good neighbor territory.
