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.

For most Marquette homes relying on wood heat through the full October to May season, three to five full cords is a realistic target, while occasional fireplace use usually calls for one to two cords.

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 for winter, consider pairing your firewood order with mulch or stone from our Marquette region page to protect garden beds and pathways before the snow flies.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your wood off the ground on pallets or rails so snowmelt and spring thaw do not wick moisture back into split faces. Leave gaps between rows for airflow, and top the stack with a simple cover that sheds snow but leaves the sides open, since fully wrapping a stack traps humidity common to our Lake Superior air and slows drying.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Test moisture with a simple pocket meter by splitting a piece fresh off the stack and reading the freshly exposed face, since surface readings can be misleading in our damp climate. Anything reading near 20 percent or below is ready to burn hot, while higher readings mean the wood needs more time before it goes into the stove.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your firewood well ahead of the first hard frost in mid October, since demand climbs fast once temperatures drop and supply of properly seasoned local hardwood can tighten. Buying early also gives you a stacking window before snow accumulates and makes moving wood around the yard far more difficult.

Wood Heat in Marquette

Marquette winters run long, with frost typically arriving by mid October and lingering into May, which means Upper Peninsula households often need firewood on hand for six months or more. The Lake Superior climate keeps humidity elevated much of the year, so wood that has not been properly seasoned struggles to dry and burns cold, smoky, and inefficient. Our seasoned hardwood is split and air dried well before delivery, giving it the low moisture content needed to throw real heat in sub zero conditions. Local hardwoods like sugar maple, yellow birch, and red oak are common in the Marquette area and are prized for dense, long burning fires that hold coals overnight. Because our region sees such a stretch of cold, having dry wood ready before the first hard frost is the difference between a comfortable season and constant fire tending.

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 actually need to get through a Marquette winter?

Most Marquette households burning a wood stove as a primary heat source use three to five full cords across a season that runs from mid October frost through mid May. If you only burn occasionally on cold nights or use a fireplace for ambiance, one to two cords is often plenty.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has been split and dried long enough to drop its internal moisture, usually to around 20 percent or less. In our humid Lake Superior climate, green wood takes much longer to dry on its own, so buying pre seasoned wood ensures it will actually ignite and burn hot instead of hissing and smoking in your firebox.

Answer

What kind of wood species will I get?

Expect a mix of hardwoods common to the Marquette area, primarily sugar maple, yellow birch, and red oak. These species are dense and burn long and hot, which suits the extended heating season we deal with here.

Answer

Is your firewood actually sourced locally?

Yes, all of our firewood is sourced near Marquette rather than trucked in from far away. Moving firewood long distances is a known way invasive pests like the emerald ash borer spread into new forests, so buying and burning local protects the woodlots around Lake Superior.

Answer

How does delivery to my driveway actually work?

You choose your cord size and a delivery date, and we bring the wood directly to your driveway and unload it loose. Stacking is not included, so plan on some time to move it into your woodshed or stacking area before winter weather makes that harder.

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. Our quarter cord is one fourth of that volume, our third cord is one third, and our half cord is exactly half, so you can size your order to your storage space and how much heating you expect to do.

Answer

Are there any local burn rules I should know about?

Marquette County does not run a daily air quality burn ban program like some larger metro areas, but wood smoke complaints and local ordinances on outdoor burning can still apply within city limits. It is worth checking with the City of Marquette before installing a new outdoor wood boiler or burning during a stagnant air advisory.
