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 steady daily heating through Onalaska's roughly six month burn season, plan on 3 to 5 full cords, while occasional or supplemental fires usually call for a half cord to 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.

Areas we deliver firewood in Onalaska, Wisconsin

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack firewood off the ground on pallets or rails so air can move underneath, and keep the pile covered on top only, leaving the sides open so humidity from our wet Wisconsin summers can escape rather than get trapped against the wood. A south or west facing spot near the house catches more sun and wind, which speeds drying and keeps your supply ready before that mid October frost arrives.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Oak burns long and steady, making it a good overnight choice, while ash lights quicker and works well for building a fast fire in a cold morning stove. A simple moisture meter reading below 20 percent tells you wood is truly ready to burn, and pressing two split pieces together to listen for a sharp crack rather than a dull thud is a quick field test locals use when a meter is not handy.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your firewood well before Onalaska's first hard frost in mid October, since demand climbs fast once temperatures drop and supply of properly seasoned local hardwood can tighten by November. Ordering in late summer or early fall also gives you time to restack and settle the pile before you need to start pulling wood for regular use.

Wood Heat in Onalaska

Onalaska sits in Zone 5a with a heating season that stretches from mid October frosts to mid May, which means many households are running wood stoves or fireplaces for six months or more. Green or half seasoned wood is a poor match for this climate because it burns cool, throws more creosote into the chimney, and struggles to catch in the damp cold typical of a La Crosse River valley winter. Our firewood is seasoned down to a low moisture content before it ever reaches your driveway, so it lights faster and burns hotter on the coldest nights. Locally sourced oak, ash, and hard maple are common in this part of western Wisconsin, and each has been split and air dried under cover long enough to be ready for immediate use. Buying wood that has already gone through a proper Wisconsin seasoning cycle saves homeowners the guesswork of trying to dry their own supply before the first hard freeze.

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 Onalaska home burn in a winter?

A household running a wood stove as a primary heat source through Onalaska's long October to May season often goes through 3 to 5 full cords, while a home using it just for weekend fires and supplemental warmth might only need a half cord to a full cord.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has been split and dried for months until its internal moisture drops low enough to burn cleanly, which matters in Onalaska because our humid summers and cold winters can keep freshly cut wood damp far longer than drier climates, leading to smoky, low heat fires if you burn it too soon.

Answer

What kinds of wood will I get with a load?

Loads are typically a mix of oak, ash, and hard maple, all common hardwoods harvested from the coulee region around Onalaska, chosen for their density and steady, long burning coals.

Answer

Why does it matter that the wood is sourced locally?

Firewood sourced and burned within the same region helps keep pests like the emerald ash borer from spreading into new areas, which is a real concern in western Wisconsin where ash trees are already under pressure, so we keep our supply local to Onalaska rather than trucking it in from farther away.

Answer

How does delivery to my driveway actually work?

Once you pick a cord size and schedule a date, the wood is delivered loose to your driveway rather than stacked, giving you flexibility to move it to a shed, rack, or covered pile wherever it fits your property best.

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 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, letting you match the order to how much space and burning you actually plan to do.

Answer

Are there any local burn rules I should know about before stocking up?

Onalaska and greater La Crosse County occasionally issue air quality advisories during winter inversion events, so it is worth checking local notices on high pollution days and holding off on non essential burning until conditions clear, especially if you rely on an open fireplace rather than an EPA certified stove.
