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.

Online ordering was really simple and I liked the transparent pricing.

For most Pittsfield homes, planning on one to two full cords covers a standard heating season, while wood stove primary heat users should budget for two to three cords to make it comfortably to the late May last frost.

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 Pittsfield, Massachusetts

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack firewood off the ground on pallets or rails with the bark side up to shed moisture, since Berkshire winters bring heavy snow load that can wick dampness into a low pile fast. Leave gaps between rows for airflow and cover only the top of the stack, keeping the sides open so trapped humidity does not slow seasoning or invite mold during our wetter fall stretch before the first hard frost hits.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Local sugar maple and red oak both season well but behave differently in the firebox. Oak burns longer and hotter once fully dry, making it ideal for overnight loads during deep January cold, while maple lights faster and works well for building an initial bed of coals. A simple moisture meter reading under 20 percent confirms wood is ready to burn cleanly.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order firewood well before the October 7 average first frost, since demand across Berkshire County spikes once temperatures drop and popular seasoned hardwood can sell out fast. Ordering in late summer also gives any slightly under seasoned splits extra weeks of dry air time in your own stack before you need to rely on them for daily heat.

Wood Heat in Pittsfield

Pittsfield sits at over 1,000 feet in elevation with a heating season that often stretches from early October to late May, so a woodpile has to work hard here. Zone 5b winters bring long stretches of damp cold off the Berkshire hills, and wood that has not been properly seasoned will smolder, smoke, and coat chimneys with creosote instead of throwing real heat. Our firewood is split and air dried well ahead of delivery so moisture content drops before it ever reaches your rack. Local hardwoods like sugar maple, red oak, and ash are common in this part of the Berkshires and each burns differently, so knowing what you are getting matters. Given how humid Berkshire County summers can be, proper seasoning time is not optional if you want clean, efficient fires once the frost sets in around October 7.

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 actually need to get through a Pittsfield winter?

With our long heating season running roughly October through May, most Pittsfield households burning a stove several nights a week use two to three full cords per season, while occasional fireplace users often get by on a half cord to a cord.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has been split and air dried long enough for moisture content to drop, typically six months to a year, which is important in our humid Berkshire climate where green wood dries slowly and burns dirty, cold, and smoky.

Answer

What kinds of wood will I get with a Pittsfield delivery?

Expect a mix of local hardwoods common to Berkshire County, mainly sugar maple, red oak, and ash, all known for solid heat output and reasonable burn times once properly seasoned.

Answer

Is your firewood actually sourced near Pittsfield?

Yes, all of our firewood is sourced locally near Pittsfield, which matters because hauling firewood long distances is one of the main ways invasive pests like the emerald ash borer spread into new forests.

Answer

How does delivery to my driveway work?

We deliver your chosen cord size loose to the driveway on your scheduled date, and since stacking is not included, it helps to have space cleared ahead of time, especially before ground starts freezing near our typical October 7 first frost.

Answer

What is a cord and how do your smaller sizes compare?

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 fractional portions of that same stacked volume, so a half cord is 64 cubic feet and a quarter cord is 32 cubic feet.

Answer

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

Massachusetts periodically issues air quality advisories during winter temperature inversions that can trap wood smoke close to the ground, so it is worth checking local advisories on high pollution days and always burning well seasoned wood to reduce particulate output.
