Most Mentor households burning a few times a week get through the season on a half cord to a full cord, while daily burners heating a larger space should plan for one and a half to two cords.

While you are prepping for Mentor's long winter, check out our mulch and topsoil options for the same delivery area to get your beds tucked in before the ground freezes.
Stack your firewood off the ground on pallets or rails so Mentor's lake effect snow and slush do not soak into the bottom rows. Leave gaps between rows for airflow, and cover just the top of the stack rather than wrapping it fully, since trapped moisture underneath a tarp can undo seasoning during our humid stretches. A stack against a south facing wall dries fastest between snow events.
Local oak and maple both put out strong, steady heat, but oak often needs an extra season to fully dry given its density, so check for a hollow sounding knock and lighter weight before assuming a piece is ready. Ash tends to season faster and lights easier, making it a good choice for getting a fire going before adding denser splits.
Order your cord well before the first frost typically hits Mentor around October 24, since demand climbs fast once temperatures drop and lake effect systems roll in. Buying early also gives freshly seasoned wood more time to finish drying in your own stack before you actually need it burning steady through December and January.
Mentor winters stretch from a first frost around October 24 to a last frost near April 28, which means area homeowners often need a reliable heat source for close to six months. Lake Erie's lake effect humidity keeps green wood from drying properly if it is cut too close to burning season, so seasoning ahead of time matters more here than in drier inland climates. Our firewood is seasoned well before delivery so it lights easily and burns hot instead of smoldering and smoking in your fireplace or wood stove. Local hardwoods like oak, ash, and maple are common in Mentor's woodlots and hold up well through long stretches of lake effect snow and cold snaps. Buying wood that has already dried down reduces creosote buildup, which is especially important during Mentor's extended burning season. Silt loam soils in this area support dense hardwood growth, giving us good access to species that burn long and steady through Ohio winters.
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.
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.
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.
