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.

Wonderful experience! They put the mulch exactly where we wanted. This mulch spread very easily and didn’t have the usual “mulch smell.” We will definitely use again!

Most Milwaukee households heating occasionally should plan on a quarter to a half cord, while those relying on a wood stove as a primary heat source through the full six month season should order a full 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, check out our mulch and soil options for the same Milwaukee delivery area to protect garden beds before that October 1 frost locks everything in.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your wood off the ground on a pallet or rack so Milwaukee's freeze thaw cycles and melting snow do not wick moisture back up into logs you already paid to have seasoned. Leave gaps between rows for airflow, and cover just the top with a tarp rather than wrapping the whole pile, since trapped humidity under a full tarp can encourage mold on wood sitting through our long winter.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Oak and hickory take longer to catch but throw steady heat for hours, making them ideal for overnight burns during Milwaukee's coldest stretches. Use a faster catching wood like ash for kindling and initial heat, then add denser splits once your fire is established, giving you a hot, low maintenance burn through the night.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your firewood in late summer or early fall, well before the October 1 frost date, since demand climbs fast once temperatures drop and popular cord sizes can sell out. Ordering early also gives any extra moisture time to release before your first cold night, so your wood performs at its best from the very first fire.

Wood Heat in Milwaukee

Milwaukee winters run long, with frost typically arriving by October 1 and lingering until mid May, meaning many households are feeding a wood stove or fireplace for six months or more. Properly seasoned firewood burns hotter and cleaner than green wood, which matters when lake effect humidity off Lake Michigan keeps freshly cut logs from drying out on their own. Our wood is seasoned well before delivery so it lights easier and produces less creosote buildup during those stretches of subzero nights. Local hardwoods like oak, hickory, and hard maple are common in southeastern Wisconsin and are prized for long, steady burns that hold heat through the coldest overnight hours. Because our silty clay soils and humid summers slow natural drying, buying wood that has already been properly seasoned saves homeowners the guesswork of trying to dry it themselves in a damp backyard.

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 Milwaukee winter?

With frost often starting October 1 and lasting until around May 10, a household burning several nights a week typically goes through a half cord to a full cord over the season, while occasional weekend burners usually do fine with a quarter or a third of a cord.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has dried down to a low moisture content instead of being freshly cut, and in a humid Midwest climate like ours that drying process can take six months to a year on its own, so buying pre seasoned wood means it lights faster and burns hotter right when the cold sets in.

Answer

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

Expect a mix of hardwoods common to southeastern Wisconsin like oak, hickory, and hard maple, all known for dense, long burning logs that hold a steady heat through overnight cold snaps.

Answer

Is this firewood actually local, and does that matter?

Yes, our wood is sourced near Milwaukee rather than trucked in from far away, which matters because moving firewood long distances is one of the main ways pests like the emerald ash borer spread into new areas.

Answer

How does delivery to my driveway actually work?

We schedule a drop off window, then deliver your chosen cord size loose in your driveway, and stacking is on you, so it helps to have a tarp or rack ready before the truck arrives.

Answer

What is a cord, and how do the smaller sizes compare?

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 about 32 cubic feet.

Answer

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

Milwaukee occasionally issues air quality advisories during winter inversions, so it is worth checking local notices on high pollution days and sticking to well seasoned hardwood, which burns cleaner and produces less visible smoke than damp or green wood.
