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.

Wonderful experience! They put the mulch exactly where we wanted. This mulch spread very easily and didn’t have the usual “mulch smell.” We will definitely use again!

For most La Crosse households supplementing heat with a wood stove, a half cord to a full cord covers the season, while homes relying on wood as a primary heat source should order a full cord or more ahead of the first 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.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your wood off the ground on pallets or rails so air can move underneath, since La Crosse's humid summers and snowy winters both encourage rot if wood sits directly on soil. Leave gaps between rows for airflow and cover only the top of the stack, keeping the sides open so moisture can escape instead of getting trapped under a full tarp.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Oak burns long and steady, making it ideal for overnight fires during La Crosse's coldest stretches, while maple lights faster and works well for quick evening fires. Test moisture with a simple firewood moisture meter before burning, aiming for readings under 20 percent so you get a clean burn without excess smoke or creosote buildup.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your firewood well before La Crosse's first frost around October 5, since seasoned wood supply tightens once cold weather hits and everyone starts stocking up at once. Ordering in late summer also gives any slightly under seasoned splits extra weeks to dry further in your stack before you need them for real winter heat.

Wood Heat in La Crosse

La Crosse winters stretch from the first frost around October 5 to the last frost near May 15, which means a long heating season for anyone running a wood stove or fireplace insert. Properly seasoned oak, hard maple, and ash from the Coulee Region burn hotter and cleaner than green wood because the moisture content has dropped enough for efficient combustion. Green or unseasoned wood in our humid Mississippi River valley climate can smolder, throw excess creosote into your chimney, and leave you with a smoky house on the coldest nights. We season our hardwood through a full cycle of warm months so it is ready to burn by the time La Crosse's cold settles in. Buying local also keeps our silt loam woodlots healthy by not importing wood from unknown sources. For a region with elevation near 669 feet and zone 5a winters, dry, well seasoned wood is not a luxury, it is a necessity for safe, efficient heat.

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 typical La Crosse winter?

Most La Crosse homeowners burning a stove several nights a week from October through April go through half a cord to a full cord per season, depending on how much they rely on wood heat versus a furnace. If wood is your primary heat source through our long zone 5a winter, plan on one to two full cords.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has dried down to a lower moisture content after being cut and split, usually six months to a year depending on species. In our humid river valley climate, unseasoned wood holds onto moisture longer, so buying pre seasoned hardwood saves you from smoky fires and creosote buildup during our coldest months.

Answer

What kinds of wood will I actually get delivered?

Expect a mix of local hardwoods common to the Coulee Region, mainly oak, hard maple, and ash, all sourced from nearby La Crosse area woodlots and split ready to burn.

Answer

Why does it matter that the firewood is sourced locally?

Firewood should always be bought and burned near where it was cut, because hauling wood long distances can spread pests like the emerald ash borer into new areas. Our wood stays local to the La Crosse region from harvest to delivery, which protects the ash trees still standing in area woodlots.

Answer

How does delivery actually work once I order?

You choose your cord size, we schedule a delivery date, and the load is dropped loose in your driveway. Stacking is on you, so have a spot cleared before the truck arrives, especially once La Crosse gets its first snow.

Answer

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

A full cord is 128 cubic feet, stacked 4 feet high by 4 feet deep by 8 feet long. A half cord is half that volume, a third cord is roughly 43 cubic feet, and a quarter cord is a quarter of the full stack, good for smaller households or occasional fires.

Answer

Are there any local rules about burning wood in La Crosse?

La Crosse follows Wisconsin DNR guidance discouraging open burning within city limits and encourages seasoned wood use to reduce smoke complaints and improve air quality during winter inversions, so sticking with dry hardwood benefits both your chimney and your neighbors.
