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.

Really appreciate the care and follow thru that this company had with our order. A hiccup came up but they were quick to respond and address all concerns, which made our garden day a success! Thank you for your prompt care.

For a typical Reno heating season running October through May, plan on a half cord for occasional fires or a full cord if your woodstove is a primary heat 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.

Complete Your Outdoor Project

While you are prepping your property for winter, check out our mulch and soil options from the same Reno area page to protect garden beds before the ground freezes.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your firewood off the ground on pallets or rails so Reno's dry air can circulate underneath, and angle the top of the stack slightly or cover it with a tarp during the rare wet storm. Keeping wood away from direct house contact also reduces the chance of drawing in insects during warmer months before the first frost arrives in October.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Oak and almond rounds take longer to catch but throw steady heat for hours, so use a few sticks of pinon or juniper as kindling to get coals going before adding denser splits. A simple moisture meter reading under 20 percent tells you the wood is ready, and our dry climate usually gets there faster than more humid regions.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your cord well before the first frost around October 6, since demand across the Truckee Meadows spikes once overnight temperatures drop and suppliers get booked out. Buying early also gives any borderline splits extra weeks to finish seasoning in your own stack before you need to rely on them for heat.

Wood Heat in Reno

Reno winters run long by high desert standards, with a frost window stretching from early October to mid May and plenty of cold, dry nights at 4,505 feet of elevation. That dry air is actually a gift for firewood, since it helps properly seasoned rounds lose moisture evenly without the mold and rot problems that plague more humid regions. Wood cut and split here tends to season faster than in wetter climates, but it still needs months of exposure to air before it burns clean and hot. Local hardwoods like oak and almond, often mixed with pinon and juniper, give Reno burners good coal beds and steady heat through the Sierra front cold snaps. Burning green or under seasoned wood in our clay loam soil region creates excess creosote and smoke, which matters more here given valley wide air quality concerns during winter inversions.

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 Reno winter?

Most Reno households burning a few nights a week from October through May go through a half cord to a full cord, while daily burners in older homes without central heat often need a full cord or more given our roughly seven month frost window.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has dried for months after splitting until moisture content drops low enough to burn clean, and in Reno's dry high desert air that process happens faster than in humid climates, but green wood still smokes heavily and wastes heat, so we only deliver wood that has already gone through that seasoning period.

Answer

What kind of wood will I actually get?

Expect a mix of local hardwoods such as oak and almond along with some pinon and juniper, all sourced from within our Reno service area, giving you dense coals and steady burn times suited to Sierra front cold.

Answer

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

Yes, everything we deliver comes from near Reno, because hauling firewood long distances is one of the main ways invasive pests like the emerald ash borer spread into new forests, so buying and burning local protects the pine and hardwood stands around the Truckee Meadows.

Answer

How does delivery actually work?

You choose a cord size, we schedule a delivery window, and our truck drops the wood loose in your driveway, since stacking is not included and is left to you or your crew.

Answer

How is a cord actually measured, and what do your partial sizes mean?

A full cord is 128 cubic feet stacked, 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 64 cubic feet and a quarter cord is 32 cubic feet.

Answer

Are there any local burn rules I should know about?

Reno and Washoe County occasionally issue winter inversion air quality advisories that ask residents to limit wood burning on high pollution days, so it is worth checking local air quality alerts before planning heavy burn days, especially with older stoves.
