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 Missoula's long heating season, plan on a half cord to a full cord if wood is a regular part of your winter heating routine, and lean toward a full cord if it is your primary heat source.

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.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your firewood off the ground on pallets or rails so air can move underneath, and keep the top covered but the sides open to airflow. Missoula's dry cold winters mean covered, ventilated wood dries and stays dry far better than wood sealed under a tight tarp, which traps moisture and invites mold even in a cold climate.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Mixing your local hardwoods with a bit of Douglas fir or larch gives you the best of both, since hardwood coals burn long through the night while the softer wood catches quickly for an easy start. A simple moisture meter reading under 20 percent on a freshly split face tells you the wood is ready to burn clean.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your firewood well before the September frost arrives, since demand climbs fast once temperatures drop and everyone in the valley is scrambling for a delivery slot at once. Getting your wood stacked and settled in early also gives it a few extra weeks to finish drying before the coldest nights hit.

Wood Heat in Missoula

Missoula's heating season runs long, with first frost arriving around September 25 and last frost lingering into mid May, which means woodstoves and fireplaces are often working for seven months or more. At 3209 feet elevation in the Missoula valley, cold air settles in and the dry inversion conditions can actually help wood season well if it is stored properly. Local hardwoods like bigtooth maple and birch mixed with tougher fuel like Douglas fir and larch make up much of what gets burned here, and seasoning them properly before delivery matters because green wood in this climate smokes heavily and contributes to the wintertime inversion haze the valley is known for. Our wood is split and seasoned before it reaches your driveway so it lights easier and burns hotter through the long stretch of cold Missoula nights. Buying wood that has already dried down to a proper burn moisture means fewer creosote problems in your chimney across a heating season this 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 do I need to get through a Missoula winter?

Most households burning a woodstove several nights a week through Missoula's long heating season, roughly late September through mid May, go through half a cord to a full cord depending on how much they rely on wood heat versus a furnace. If wood is your primary heat source rather than a supplement, plan closer to a full cord or more.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has been split and dried down to a safe burn moisture, typically under 20 percent, rather than being green and freshly cut. In Missoula's inversion prone valley, burning green wood creates excess smoke that contributes to wintertime air quality problems, so seasoned wood burns cleaner and hotter while producing far less creosote buildup in your chimney.

Answer

What kind of wood species will I actually get?

Expect a mix of local hardwoods sourced from around the Missoula area, commonly bigtooth maple and birch, sometimes blended with harder burning softwoods like Douglas fir or larch that are common in western Montana forests. This mix gives you both quick starting wood and longer, steadier burning logs for overnight fires.

Answer

Why is the firewood sourced locally instead of trucked in from farther away?

All of our firewood is sourced near Missoula rather than shipped in from other regions. Moving firewood long distances is one of the main ways invasive pests like the emerald ash borer spread into new forests, so keeping our supply local protects the timber stands right here in the Missoula valley.

Answer

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

We deliver your firewood loose to your driveway rather than stacking it, which keeps costs down and lets you organize your woodpile exactly how you want it against your house or shed. Just make sure you have driveway space cleared for the drop off.

Answer

What is the difference between a quarter cord, a half cord, and a full cord?

A full cord is 128 cubic feet of stacked wood, measuring 4 feet high by 4 feet deep by 8 feet long. Our quarter cord is one fourth of that volume, our third cord is one third, and our half cord is exactly half, so you can size your order to your stove use and storage space without paying for more wood than you will burn in a season.

Answer

Are there any local rules about burning wood in Missoula during the winter?

Missoula County has had wintertime air quality advisories tied to valley inversions, when cold air traps smoke close to the ground for days at a time. Burning well seasoned wood rather than green wood significantly cuts down on the smoke output from your chimney, which helps during these advisory periods and keeps your stove running more efficiently either way.
