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.

We had a great experience with mulch mound! Our mulch arrived when we requested. The delivery fee was so reasonable. We’ll use them again for sure!

For Pocatello's long October through May heating season, plan on a half cord to a full cord for supplemental use, or 3 to 4 cords if wood heat is your primary source.

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.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack firewood off bare ground on pallets or rails so air can circulate underneath, since Pocatello's sandy loam soil can wick moisture upward even when the surface looks dry. Leave the top loosely covered but the sides open to airflow, and angle your stack away from prevailing wind if possible. A stack tucked against a south facing wall will season faster and stay drier through our long winter than one left exposed in an open yard.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Local box elder and cottonwood catch quickly and are great for building a fast morning fire, but they burn through faster than denser ash, so mix species depending on whether you want quick heat or a longer, steadier burn overnight. Splitting a piece open and pressing the back of your hand against the freshly exposed face is a simple way to judge dryness, since damp wood feels noticeably cool and cold to the touch.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your firewood well before Pocatello's first frost in early October, since demand climbs fast once nighttime temperatures start dropping and seasoned wood supply tightens. Buying in late summer also gives any slightly under seasoned splits extra weeks to dry out in our low humidity air before you actually need to rely on them for consistent heat.

Wood Heat in Pocatello

Pocatello sits at 4,462 feet with a long heating season that often runs from October through May, so wood stoves and fireplaces get real, sustained use here, not just occasional weekend fires. At this elevation the dry high desert air is actually good for curing firewood, but it also means green wood that looks dry on the outside can still be holding moisture inside. We season our hardwood, mostly local ash, box elder, and cottonwood mixed with some hardier species, until moisture content drops enough to burn clean and hot instead of smoldering and creosoting your flue. With Pocatello's early October frosts and winters that stretch into mid May, you need fuel that lights easily and throws consistent heat through cold snaps, not wood still sweating out sap. Properly seasoned wood also matters for the Portneuf Valley's winter inversions, since a poorly burning stove adds more smoke to already stagnant cold air.

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 Pocatello winter?

Most Pocatello homeowners burning a few nights a week as a supplemental heat source use around 1 to 2 cords across the season, while full time wood heat users burning daily from October frost through May often go through 3 to 4 cords given how long our cold stretches run.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has dried down to a lower moisture content after being cut and split, and in our region that dry high desert air helps the process along, but it still takes months. Seasoned wood lights faster, burns hotter, and produces far less creosote buildup than green wood, which matters a lot when your stove is running nightly through a Pocatello winter.

Answer

What kind of wood will I actually get delivered?

You can expect a mix of local hardwoods including ash, box elder, and cottonwood, all split and seasoned for burning rather than green rounds fresh off a tree.

Answer

Is this firewood actually cut near Pocatello, or shipped in from somewhere else?

All our firewood is sourced locally near Pocatello. Buying and burning wood close to where it was cut keeps invasive pests like the emerald ash borer from spreading through firewood transported long distances, which protects the cottonwoods and ash trees already growing throughout the Portneuf Valley.

Answer

How does delivery and drop off actually work?

We deliver your chosen cord size loose to your driveway, and stacking is not included, so plan on having space and a bit of time to move and stack the wood yourself once the truck leaves.

Answer

What is a cord, and how do the 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. Our quarter cord is roughly a quarter of that volume, the third cord about a third, and the half cord half of a full cord, so you can match your storage space and burn rate without committing to a full stacked cord.

Answer

Are there any local burn restrictions I should know about?

The Portneuf Valley experiences winter temperature inversions that trap air pollution close to the ground, and local air quality advisories sometimes ask residents to limit wood burning on the worst inversion days, so it helps to burn well seasoned wood that produces less smoke when those advisories are in effect.
