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.

I needed 3 yards of top soil and that's what I got! Right on time and right where I asked it to be placed (Order# 2041).

Households using wood heat regularly through Meridian's long frost season generally do best ordering a half cord to a full cord, while occasional weekend burners are usually well covered with a quarter or third 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.

Complete Your Outdoor Project

While you are prepping for winter, consider pairing your firewood order with a load of mulch or landscape stone from our Meridian regional page to protect garden beds before the ground freezes.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your wood off the ground on pallets or rails so air can move underneath, since Meridian's silt loam soil holds moisture near the surface and can wick dampness into the bottom layers of an uncovered pile. Top the stack with a rigid cover or tarp that sheds rain and snow but leave the sides open for airflow, otherwise trapped moisture will undo the seasoning your wood already went through.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Before loading your stove, do a quick check by knocking two pieces together, well seasoned hardwood should sound like a sharp crack rather than a dull thud. If you have a moisture meter, aim for readings under 20 percent, and remember that locust and fruitwood species common around Meridian often season slower than softer woods, so give split rounds extra time if they were cut recently.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your firewood well before Meridian's typical October 5 first frost, since demand climbs fast once temperatures drop and popular cord sizes can book out during the first cold snap. Ordering in late summer or early fall also gives any slightly underseasoned wood extra weeks to dry further in Idaho's low humidity before you actually need to burn it.

Wood Heat in Meridian

Meridian sits at 2,605 feet with a heating season that typically runs from the first frost around October 5 through the last frost near May 5, which means many homes here are relying on wood heat or supplemental wood heat for six months or more. Idaho's dry high desert air is actually a benefit for seasoning firewood, but it also means wood cut and split just weeks ago can look dry on the outside while still holding moisture inside, so buying properly seasoned wood matters more than ever. Local hardwoods like locust and fruitwood varieties common to Treasure Valley properties burn hot and steady once fully cured, but green or half seasoned wood from these same species can smoke heavily and creosote your chimney fast. Because Meridian winters bring real cold snaps down into the teens, having a reliable stack of fully seasoned hardwood on hand before that first October frost is the difference between a warm living room and a scramble to find dry wood mid January.

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 do I actually need to get through a Meridian winter?

For a home using a woodstove as a primary heat source through Meridian's full frost window from early October to early May, most households burn somewhere between one and two full cords depending on stove efficiency and how large the house is. If wood is just for weekend fires or backup heat during cold snaps, a half cord or even a quarter cord is often plenty for the season.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has been split and dried long enough that its internal moisture content has dropped to a range that burns clean and hot, usually under 20 percent. In Meridian's dry climate wood can look weathered on the surface well before it is actually ready, so we only deliver hardwood that has had proper time to cure all the way through, which keeps your chimney cleaner and your fires easier to start.

Answer

What kinds of wood will I get with a Meridian delivery?

Our loads are seasoned hardwood sourced from trees common to the Treasure Valley area, which typically means a mix of locust and fruitwood species known locally for dense, long burning coals. These species hold heat well through Meridian's colder overnight temperatures, which matters when you are trying to keep a stove going until morning.

Answer

Is this firewood actually local, and does that matter?

Yes, our firewood is sourced near Meridian rather than trucked in from far away. Buying local matters because hauling firewood long distances is one of the main ways invasive pests like the emerald ash borer spread into new areas, so keeping wood sourced and burned within the same region helps protect the trees already growing in your own neighborhood.

Answer

How does delivery actually work, do you stack it for me?

We deliver your order loose to the driveway location you choose, but stacking is not part of the service, so you will want to have a plan for moving it to its final storage spot once it arrives. Most Meridian customers stack near a garage wall or under a covered area to keep the wood dry through the winter.

Answer

What is a cord and how do your sizes compare?

A full cord is a stack measuring 4 feet high by 4 feet deep by 8 feet long, which works out to 128 cubic feet of stacked wood. Our quarter cord is roughly a quarter of that volume, our third cord and half cord scale up from there, and a full cord gives you the entire 128 cubic feet for homes that burn wood heavily through the whole season.

Answer

Are there any local rules about burning wood in Meridian?

The Treasure Valley, including Meridian, is part of the broader Boise area airshed that can see winter inversions trap smoke and particulates close to the ground, so it is worth checking local air quality advisories on high inversion days before lighting a fire. Burning well seasoned hardwood instead of green wood also produces less visible smoke, which helps on days when air quality is already a concern.
