I needed 3 yards of top soil and that's what I got! Right on time and right where I asked it to be placed (Order# 2041).

For a typical Portland heating season running from the October frost into early May, plan on 3 to 4 full cords if wood is your primary heat source, or 1 to 2 cords if it supplements another system.

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 the ground on pallets or rails so Maine's damp soil and snowmelt do not wick moisture back into the wood. Leave gaps between rows for airflow, and cover only the top of the stack, keeping the sides open so humidity can escape rather than getting trapped under a full tarp.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Sugar maple and yellow birch both throw good heat and burn slower than softer woods, making them solid choices for overnight burns during Portland's coldest stretches. Red oak takes longer to season fully, so if you notice hissing or steam at the ends of split logs, give it more time before loading the stove.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your firewood well before the first frost in early October, since seasoned wood supply tightens once cold weather sets in and everyone in southern Maine is scrambling for delivery at once. Ordering in late summer also gives green wood more time to finish drying in your own stack before you need it.

Wood Heat in Portland

Portland sits in zone 5b with a heating season that often stretches from October's first frost into May, meaning woodstoves and fireplaces here work harder and longer than in most of the country. Local hardwoods like sugar maple, yellow birch, and red oak season best over a full summer in Maine's humid coastal air, which slows drying compared to drier inland climates. Wood that looks dry on the outside can still hold moisture deep in the rounds if it was cut and split late, so timing matters as much as species. Burning properly seasoned wood in older Portland homes with masonry chimneys reduces creosote buildup, which is a real concern given how many heating hours our winters demand. Buying wood seasoned specifically for this coastal Maine climate, rather than wood trucked in from a drier region, gives you a better shot at clean, efficient burns all season.

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 Portland winter?

Homeowners who heat primarily with wood in Portland typically burn 3 to 4 full cords across a season that runs from the October frost into early May, while those using a stove as a supplemental heat source often get by on 1 to 2 cords.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has dried enough that its moisture content is low enough to burn cleanly, which typically takes a full spring and summer in our humid coastal air. Burning unseasoned wood in a Portland winter leads to smoky, inefficient fires and faster creosote buildup in chimneys that already work overtime during our long heating season.

Answer

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

Expect a mix of sugar maple, yellow birch, and red oak, all hardwoods common to southern Maine woodlots that burn hot and steady, which suits the long stretches of cold we get between October and May.

Answer

Is this firewood actually sourced locally, and does that matter?

Yes, our wood comes from sources near Portland rather than being trucked in from other regions. Firewood should always be bought near where it is burned because moving it long distances spreads invasive pests like the emerald ash borer, which threatens the same maple and oak stands that heat Maine homes.

Answer

How does delivery to my driveway actually work?

We schedule a delivery window, then dump your order loose in the driveway. Stacking is not included, so plan for some time to move and stack the wood, especially if you want it seasoning further before your first cold snap.

Answer

What is a cord, and how do the smaller sizes compare?

A full cord is 128 cubic feet stacked, measuring 4 feet high by 4 feet deep by 8 feet long. Our quarter cord is roughly a third of that stack length, the third cord sits between quarter and half, and the half cord gives you two full rows of that same 4 by 4 by 8 stack, so you can scale your order to match your woodstove's real seasonal demand.

Answer

Are there any local rules about burning wood in Portland?

Maine's air quality advisories occasionally recommend against unnecessary outdoor burning during winter inversions, so it is worth checking local notices during stagnant cold snaps and making sure your wood is seasoned to reduce smoke output regardless of the day.
