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.

For most Lansing homes using a woodstove as a primary heat source, plan on 3 to 5 full cords to cover the entire heating season from first frost to last 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're prepping the property for winter, check out our mulch and soil options on the same Lansing regional page to protect garden beds from the area's clay soil and freeze thaw cycles.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your firewood off the ground on pallets or a rack, since Lansing's clay soil holds moisture and wicks it straight into bottom rows if wood sits directly on the earth. Leave gaps between rows for airflow, and cover only the top of the stack, keeping the sides open so trapped humidity from Michigan's damp falls and springs can escape instead of promoting mold or slow rot.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Oak and maple from around Lansing throw long, steady coals that are great for overnight burns, while ash lights quickly and works well for getting a cold stove going fast on a subzero morning. Mixing species in your firebox, starting with ash kindling and adding oak or maple once coals form, gives you a faster start and longer lasting heat through the night.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your firewood in late summer or early fall, well before Lansing's first frost around October 10, since seasoned wood supply tightens up once temperatures drop and everyone scrambles at once. Ordering early also gives any slightly higher moisture splits extra weeks to finish drying in your own stack before you need them for a hard January cold snap.

Wood Heat in Lansing

Lansing sits in zone 5b with a heating season that often runs from that first mid October frost clear through the last frost around May 1, which means woodstoves and fireplaces here get real, sustained use for six months or more. Green wood cut from local ash, oak, and sugar maple can carry 40 to 50 percent moisture, and burning it in Michigan's humid summers and damp falls means more creosote, less heat, and a smokier chimney all winter. Properly seasoned hardwood, dried to around 20 percent moisture, lights faster and burns hotter, which matters when Lansing temperatures settle into the teens and single digits for weeks at a stretch. Our clay heavy soil region grows dense hardwoods that season slower than sandy soil timber, so we stack and dry our wood long enough to actually be ready by delivery day. Buying wood that has already gone through a proper Michigan seasoning cycle means fewer trips to restock mid January when roads are icy and nobody wants to be splitting wood in a driveway.

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 Lansing house need to get through winter?

A household that burns most evenings from late October through early May, given Lansing's frost window, typically goes through 3 to 5 full cords if the woodstove is a primary heat source, or 1 to 2 cords for occasional supplemental fires. Homes with newer insulation and gas backup heat often land on the lower end.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has dried down to roughly 20 percent moisture after being split and stacked for several months, which is essential in a clay soil region like Lansing where humidity slows natural drying. Burning properly seasoned wood produces more heat and far less creosote buildup than green wood cut the same season.

Answer

What kind of firewood species will I get with a Lansing delivery?

Our loads are a mix of local hardwoods commonly harvested around the Lansing area, typically red oak, sugar maple, and ash, all known for dense, long burning coals well suited to Michigan's long cold season.

Answer

Is your firewood actually sourced near Lansing, and does that matter?

Yes, all of our wood is cut and processed locally near Lansing. Keeping firewood local is important because moving wood long distances is one of the main ways invasive pests like the emerald ash borer spread between counties, which has already devastated ash stands across mid Michigan.

Answer

How does delivery work if I don't want the wood stacked?

We deliver your order loose to the edge of your driveway. Stacking is not included, so plan to have it moved to a dry, covered spot within a day or two, especially if rain or an early Lansing snap is in the forecast.

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 is one fourth of that volume, our third cord is one third, and our half cord is exactly half, giving you flexible options depending on your woodstove use and storage space.

Answer

Are there any local rules I should know about burning firewood in Lansing?

Lansing occasionally issues air quality advisories during stagnant winter weather, and outdoor burning ordinances can restrict open burning within city limits, so it is worth checking with the City of Lansing before burning brush or yard debris. Indoor woodstove and fireplace use is generally unrestricted, but well seasoned wood helps keep smoke output low on those advisory days.
