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 Passaic homes using wood as occasional supplemental heat, a half cord to full cord covers the season, while primary wood heat households should plan on two to three cords to get from the October frost to the April thaw.

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 prepping your property for the cold season, pair your firewood order with a load of mulch or soil from our Passaic area page to protect garden beds through the same frost window that puts your woodpile to work.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your Passaic delivery off the ground on pallets or rails so air moves underneath and clay loam soil moisture does not wick up into the bottom rows. Leave the top loosely covered with a tarp but keep the sides open, since fully wrapping the pile traps humidity from our damp winters and slows drying, which can lead to moldy, hard to light wood by January.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Oak burns longer and hotter once fully seasoned, making it your best choice for overnight coals during the coldest stretch of a Passaic winter, while ash lights faster and works well for building a quick evening fire. Mixing the two lets you start fast with ash kindling then bank the fire with oak splits for steady heat that lasts until morning.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order before the first frost, ideally by early October, since demand across northern New Jersey spikes once temperatures drop and delivery windows fill up fast. Ordering early also gives freshly split wood extra weeks to finish drying in your own stacked pile before you need to rely on it for real heat.

Wood Heat in Passaic

Passaic winters stretch from late October through mid April, which means a real heating season of nearly six months in zone 7b. That kind of stretch punishes anyone burning green or half dried wood, because unseasoned logs waste energy boiling off moisture instead of throwing heat, and they coat flues with creosote. Our seasoned oak and ash is dried down to the low moisture range that actually burns hot and clean in older Passaic homes with masonry chimneys and wood stoves. The region's humid summers and cold, damp winters make proper seasoning even more important, since wood left uncovered here reabsorbs moisture fast. Sourcing hardwood that has already dried through a full Passaic summer gives you a fire that lights easily and holds heat through the long frost window.

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 Passaic house need to get through winter?

With our roughly six month heating season running late October to mid April, a household burning a few nights a week as supplemental heat usually goes through a half cord to a full cord, while homes relying on wood stoves as a primary heat source often use two to three full cords across the season.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has dried for months after splitting until its internal moisture drops low enough to burn efficiently, which matters in Passaic because our humid summers and damp winters slow natural drying, so wood cut and sold green almost never dries out fast enough before the first frost hits.

Answer

What kind of wood am I actually getting?

Expect a mix of local hardwoods common to northern New Jersey, mainly oak and ash with some hickory and maple mixed in, all split and dried before delivery so you get consistent, dense heat rather than a fast, weak burn.

Answer

Is this firewood really local, and does that matter?

Yes, it is sourced near Passaic rather than trucked in from another region, which matters because moving firewood long distances is how pests like the emerald ash borer spread into new areas, so buying and burning locally helps protect the ash trees still standing in our neighborhoods.

Answer

How does delivery actually work once I order?

You pick a cord size and a delivery date, and our truck dumps the wood loose at your driveway on the agreed day, stacking is not included so plan on having help or time set aside to move it into your storage area.

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, 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.

Answer

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

Passaic and surrounding Passaic County can issue air quality advisories on stagnant winter days, so it is worth checking local notices before burning on those days and always burning seasoned wood rather than green wood, which produces more smoke and particulate for the same amount of heat.
