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.

Ordered Dirt. Received Dirt. Would Buy Again.

For most Moorhead homes using wood as supplemental heat, a half cord to one full cord covers a typical winter, while primary wood heat households should plan for two to three cords given our long six month heating 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 for winter, check out our mulch and soil options for the same Moorhead delivery area, since fall is also a good time to top off garden beds before the ground freezes solid.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your firewood off the ground on pallets or rails so Moorhead's spring thaw and heavy clay soil do not leave your woodpile sitting in standing water. Leave gaps between rows for airflow, and orient your stack so it catches prevailing wind and afternoon sun. A simple cover over just the top, leaving the sides open, keeps snow off without trapping moisture underneath, which is the real enemy of a good seasoned pile through our long winters.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Before loading your stove, do a quick check on your wood by knocking two pieces together, listening for a sharp crack rather than a dull thud, which signals proper seasoning. Ash and elm from around Moorhead tend to season a bit faster than oak, but box elder can hold moisture longer, so mix your species and burn the driest pieces first on the coldest nights for the most consistent heat output.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your firewood well before the first frost hits in late September, since seasoned wood needs time to finish drying in your own storage spot even after delivery. Buying early in late summer also means you are not competing with the rush of last minute orders once temperatures drop, and it gives your stack a full season of Moorhead's dry fall air before you need to burn through it.

Wood Heat in Moorhead

Moorhead winters stretch long, with a first frost around September 24 and the last frost not clearing until May 19, meaning many households are feeding a stove or fireplace for six months or more. Wood that has not been properly seasoned struggles to burn hot in this kind of cold, since green wood wastes its energy boiling off trapped moisture instead of heating your home. Our firewood is split and seasoned before delivery, so it lights faster and burns cleaner even when the mercury drops well below zero. Local hardwoods like ash, elm, and box elder are common around Moorhead and Clay County, and they season differently than the oak or hickory sold in other regions, so buying from a local source matters. The Red River Valley's clay soil and humidity swings also affect how wood dries in storage, which is another reason we season it here rather than trucking in wood from a different climate.

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 will I actually need to get through a Moorhead winter?

Households that burn a few nights a week for supplemental heat often use a quarter to a third of a cord per month, while those relying on wood as a primary heat source through our long six month heating season can go through two to three full cords before the last frost clears in May.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has been split and dried down to a lower moisture content before delivery, which matters in Moorhead because our humid summers and cold winters can keep green wood damp for a full year or more if it is not processed correctly, and damp wood burns cold and smoky instead of hot and efficient.

Answer

What kind of wood species should I expect in my delivery?

Most of our firewood is a mix of ash, elm, and box elder sourced locally near Moorhead, all common hardwoods in the Red River Valley that season well and provide steady, reliable heat for stoves and fireplaces.

Answer

Is your firewood really local, and does that matter?

Yes, all of our firewood is sourced near Moorhead rather than trucked in from far away, which matters because moving firewood long distances is one of the main ways invasive pests like the emerald ash borer spread into new areas, putting local ash trees at risk.

Answer

How does delivery actually work once I order?

You choose a cord size and delivery window, and we bring the wood loose to your driveway on the scheduled day, though stacking is not included so plan on setting aside time to move it to your storage spot.

Answer

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

A full cord is 128 cubic feet stacked, 4 feet high by 4 feet deep by 8 feet long, and our other sizes are simple fractions of that measurement, so a half cord is 64 cubic feet, a third cord is roughly 43 cubic feet, and a quarter cord is 32 cubic feet, giving Moorhead households flexibility depending on how much storage space and burning they plan for.

Answer

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

Clay County and the city of Moorhead periodically issue air quality advisories during winter inversion events, so it is worth checking local notices before extended outdoor burning, and using well seasoned wood indoors in your stove or fireplace also reduces smoke output compared to burning green wood.
