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 occasional fires through a Midland winter, a quarter to half cord is usually enough, while regular wood burners should plan on a full cord to comfortably cover the season.

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 your property for winter, pair your firewood order with mulch or soil from our Midland region page to protect garden beds through the same cold stretch.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack firewood off the ground on pallets or a rack so air can move underneath, and keep the top covered but the sides open, since Midland's humid summers and snowy winters both encourage mold and slow drying if wood sits directly on wet ground. A single row stack against a south or west facing wall catches more sun and wind, which helps any remaining moisture continue to escape even after delivery.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Oak and maple both make excellent long burning coals, but oak takes noticeably longer to catch, so start your fire with smaller ash pieces or kindling before adding oak splits for overnight heat retention. A simple moisture meter reading below 20 percent tells you the wood is ready to burn efficiently rather than smoldering and wasting heat.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your firewood in late summer or early fall before the October frost hits, since demand climbs fast once temperatures drop and early buyers get first pick of well seasoned splits rather than wood cut closer to winter that has not had time to dry down properly.

Wood Heat in Midland

Midland winters stretch from the first frost around October 6 to last frost near May 19, which means a long heating season for local wood stoves and fireplaces. Green or half seasoned wood struggles to keep up with that stretch and produces more creosote and smoke, which matters in our humid mid Michigan air where moisture takes longer to shed from freshly split rounds. Our firewood is seasoned hardwood, mostly local oak, maple, and ash, cut and split well ahead of delivery so it burns hot and clean instead of hissing and smoldering. Silty clay loam soils around Midland support dense hardwood stands, which is why oak and maple are such reliable local burners. Buying wood that has already dried down before it reaches your driveway means fewer trips to the woodpile and less creosote buildup in your chimney over a long Zone 6a winter.

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 Midland winter?

Most Midland households burning a couple times a week through the full heating season use somewhere between a half cord and a full cord, while those relying on wood as a primary heat source often go through one to two full cords given how long our stretch from October frost to May frost runs.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has dried down to a low moisture content after being split and stored, typically six months to a year, and in Midland's humid climate that seasoning time is important because green wood holds onto moisture longer and burns dirty, smoky, and inefficient in a cold snap.

Answer

What kinds of wood will I get?

Expect a mix of local hardwoods common to mid Michigan, primarily oak and maple with some ash mixed in, all chosen for solid heat output and clean burning in home stoves and fireplaces.

Answer

Is this firewood actually local, and does that matter?

Yes, our wood is sourced near Midland, which matters because hauling firewood long distances is one of the main ways pests like the emerald ash borer spread from one region to another, so keeping wood local protects the trees still standing around your own neighborhood.

Answer

How does delivery actually work?

You choose your cord size and a delivery date, and we bring the wood loose to your driveway, so just make sure you have space cleared for the drop and a plan for stacking it yourself.

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, and our quarter, third, and half cord options are simply fractions of that same stacked volume, so a half cord is about 64 cubic feet and a quarter cord is about 32 cubic feet.

Answer

Are there any local rules I should know about before burning?

Midland does not have a formal outdoor burn ban for wood stoves and fireplaces, but on days with poor air quality it is worth checking local advisories and sticking to well seasoned wood, since dry hardwood produces far less smoke than green or wet wood.
