About this firewood

A third of a cord of seasoned hardwood, 43 cubic feet, split and ready to burn. A steady size for regular weekend fires once the cold sets in.

Great service. We ordered topsoil from Mulch Mound and the best experience. Thank you so much!

For a full Minneapolis heating season, occasional fireplace use typically calls for a half cord to a full cord, while daily wood stove heat usually requires two to four full cords depending on how cold the winter runs.

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 the cold, consider pairing your firewood order with mulch or soil from our Minneapolis regional page to protect perennial beds before the ground freezes solid in early October.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your firewood off the ground on pallets or rails so Minneapolis snowmelt and spring thaw do not soak the bottom rows. Leave gaps between rows for airflow, and cover only the top with a tarp so sides stay ventilated. A north facing or wind exposed stack location actually helps seasoning continue even into the cold months, as long as snow load is kept off the pile.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Oak burns longest and hottest, making it ideal for overnight burns during deep Minneapolis cold snaps, while birch lights fast and works well for quick evening fires. Test moisture by knocking two split pieces together, seasoned wood produces a sharp, hollow crack rather than a dull thud. If you smell heavy sap or see dark wet rings on the cut ends, the wood likely needs more drying time before use.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your firewood in late summer or early September, well before Minneapolis's October 5 average first frost, so it has time to finish seasoning and so you avoid scrambling once the cold arrives and demand spikes. Early ordering also means better availability of full cords, since local seasoned hardwood supply tightens fast once the first hard freeze hits the metro area.

Wood Heat in Minneapolis

Minneapolis winters run long, with heating season stretching from the October frost around October 5 well into April, so a wood stove or fireplace here gets serious use across many cold months. Locally sourced oak, ash, birch and maple are the backbone of our supply, and each species seasons differently in our sandy loam region's dry cold air. Properly seasoned wood loses most of its internal moisture over six to twelve months, which matters because green wood burns cold and smoky in below zero temperatures instead of throwing real heat. Our zone 4b climate means firewood left unseasoned can freeze with moisture trapped inside, making it even harder to light and burn clean once the deep cold sets in. Buying seasoned hardwood cut and dried before winter gives Minneapolis households more consistent heat output and fewer chimney creosote problems all season long.

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 does a typical Minneapolis winter actually burn through?

A household using a wood stove as a primary heat source through our long October to April heating season often burns three to four full cords, while occasional fireplace users might only need a half cord to a full cord to get through the cold months.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has dried for six months to a year until its internal moisture content drops low enough to burn hot and clean, which is especially important in Minneapolis because green wood exposed to our sub zero temperatures burns poorly and can lead to dangerous chimney creosote buildup.

Answer

What kinds of wood will I actually get delivered?

Expect a mix of local hardwoods like oak, ash, birch and maple, all sourced near Minneapolis and split for a good burn in fireplaces and stoves common in our older housing stock.

Answer

Why does it matter that the wood is sourced locally?

Firewood moved long distances can carry invasive pests like the emerald ash borer into new areas, so we source all our hardwood near Minneapolis to keep local forests protected and to keep your wood fresher for seasoning.

Answer

How exactly does delivery work?

We deliver your chosen cord size loose to your driveway rather than stacked, so you will want a tarp or stacking plan ready, particularly before Minneapolis's first snowfall makes yard work harder.

Answer

What is a cord and how do your smaller sizes compare?

A full cord is 128 cubic feet stacked 4 feet high by 4 feet deep by 8 feet long, and our quarter cord, third cord and half cord are simply fractions of that same stacked volume, giving you flexibility depending on how much storage space or burning you plan to do this winter.

Answer

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

The Minneapolis area occasionally issues air quality advisories during winter inversions when wood smoke is discouraged, so it is worth checking local air quality alerts on high pollution days before lighting a fire.
