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.

Easy to order, great service, and great product. We enjoy the final look of a very neglected beds we inherited!

For most Newburyport homes, plan on one half to one full cord for occasional supplemental heat, and two to three full cords if wood is your primary heat source through the entire 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

If you are already prepping your property for winter, pair your firewood order with a load of mulch or bark from our Newburyport regional page to protect garden beds through the same long, damp heating season.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your wood off the ground on a pallet or rack, with the split ends facing prevailing wind, and leave the top loosely covered rather than fully wrapped in tarp. Newburyport's coastal humidity means trapped moisture under a tight cover can actually slow seasoning and encourage mold, so airflow around and over the stack matters more here than in drier regions.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Oak takes the longest to catch but throws steady heat for hours, making it ideal for overnight burns, while ash lights quickly and works well for getting a cold stove going fast on a frosty October morning. Mixing species in your firebox, starting with ash and adding oak once coals are established, gives you a more efficient and controlled burn.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your firewood in late summer or early September, well before the October 10 frost date, so it has time to settle and finish drying in your storage spot before daily fires begin. Waiting until the first cold snap often means scrambling for delivery slots right when everyone else in town has the same idea.

Wood Heat in Newburyport

Newburyport sits in growing zone 6b with a heating season that typically runs from mid October through mid May, meaning many homes rely on wood heat or supplemental wood burning for over half the year. Coastal humidity off the Merrimack River and the Atlantic keeps the air damp for much of the fall, which slows down natural seasoning if wood is not properly dried ahead of time. That is why our firewood is fully seasoned before it reaches your driveway, cut and split well in advance so moisture content drops before the first cold snap. Local hardwood species like oak, maple, and ash burn longer and hotter once properly dried, giving you more heat per load through a long New England winter. Green or partially seasoned wood in this climate tends to smolder, smoke heavily, and build creosote faster because of the extra humidity. Starting the season with truly seasoned wood matters more here than in drier inland climates.

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 Newburyport home burn in a winter?

With our heating season stretching from around October 10 to mid May, most homes using a woodstove as a primary heat source burn three to four full cords, while homes using wood as a supplemental heat source alongside oil or gas typically use one to two cords.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has been cut, split, and dried for at least six to twelve months until moisture content drops well below fresh cut levels, which matters in our humid coastal air because green wood here dries much more slowly than in drier climates and burns dirty and inefficient if used too soon.

Answer

What kinds of wood will I actually get delivered?

Our loads are a mix of local hardwoods common to this part of Essex County, primarily oak, maple, and ash, all known for solid heat output and manageable smoke when properly seasoned.

Answer

Is this firewood actually sourced near Newburyport, or is it trucked in from far away?

All of our firewood is sourced locally near Newburyport, which matters because moving firewood long distances is one of the main ways invasive pests like the emerald ash borer spread from town to town.

Answer

How does delivery to my driveway work?

We dump your order loose directly onto your driveway at the scheduled time, and stacking is not included, so plan for some time to move and stack it once it arrives.

Answer

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

A full cord is a stacked pile measuring 4 feet high by 4 feet deep by 8 feet long, or 128 cubic feet total, so a half cord is roughly half that volume and a quarter cord is roughly a quarter, giving you flexible options depending on how much storage space and burning you plan to do this season.

Answer

Are there any local rules about burning wood in Newburyport?

Massachusetts follows state open burning regulations that restrict outdoor brush burning to certain months and require permits, though indoor woodstove and fireplace burning is generally unregulated beyond standard building and chimney safety codes, so check with the Newburyport Fire Department if you are ever unsure about a specific situation.
