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 a typical Rochester household burning several nights a week from October through May, plan on one to two full cords, and increase to two or three 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.

Complete Your Outdoor Project

If you are already prepping your property for winter, pair your firewood delivery with mulch or stone from our Rochester regional page to protect garden beds through the region's freeze and thaw cycles.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your firewood off the ground on pallets or rails so Rochester's snowmelt and spring thaw do not soak the bottom rows. Leave the top loosely covered with a tarp but keep the sides open for airflow, since fully wrapping the pile traps moisture from our humid lake effect air and slows seasoning instead of helping it.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Hickory and oak burn longer and hotter, making them better for overnight burns during deep cold snaps, while maple lights faster and works well for getting a fire going quickly on a chilly fall evening. Test moisture by splitting a piece and checking the freshly exposed face, it should feel dry, not cool or damp, before you burn it.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your firewood before the first frost hits around mid October so it has time to settle into your storage space before daily fires start. Waiting until the first cold snap often means scrambling for delivery slots right when everyone else in Rochester has the same idea.

Wood Heat in Rochester

Rochester winters stretch from mid October frost through early May, meaning many households are running wood stoves and fireplaces for six months or more. Lake effect humidity off Lake Ontario keeps green wood from drying properly if it is not seasoned well ahead of time, and unseasoned logs burn cool, smoke heavily, and build up creosote fast. Our firewood is seasoned hardwood, split and dried down before it reaches your driveway, so it lights easier and burns hotter through January and February cold snaps. Local species like sugar maple, red oak, and shagbark hickory are common around Monroe County and each bring different burn times and heat output. Because our region sits in silt loam soil with a growing zone of 6a, the hardwood grown here has adapted to cold, dense winters, which makes for good dense firewood once properly dried.

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 Rochester winter?

With our heating season running roughly from mid October through early May, most households burning a few nights a week go through one to two full cords, while daily wood stove users often need two to three cords to make it comfortably to spring.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has been cut, split, and dried for months so its moisture content drops low enough to burn clean, which matters in our humid lake effect climate because green or damp wood just smolders and coats your chimney with creosote instead of throwing real heat.

Answer

What kinds of wood will I actually get?

Expect a mix of hardwoods common to the Rochester area such as sugar maple, red oak, and shagbark hickory, all known locally for solid heat output and longer burn times compared to softer woods.

Answer

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

Yes, all of our firewood is sourced near Rochester, and buying local matters because hauling firewood long distances is how pests like the emerald ash borer spread into new forests, so keeping wood local protects the trees in our own backyard.

Answer

How does delivery actually work, do you stack it for me?

We deliver your seasoned hardwood loose to your driveway on the scheduled date, but stacking is not included, so plan on having space and a bit of time to stack it yourself once it arrives.

Answer

What is the difference between a quarter cord, half cord, and 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 fractional portions of that same stacked volume, giving you flexibility depending on your storage space and how much heat you need to get through the season.

Answer

Are there any local rules about burning firewood in Rochester?

Monroe County occasionally issues air quality advisories on especially still, cold winter days, so it is worth checking local notices before a long burn session, and using seasoned wood like ours helps reduce the smoke output that triggers those advisories in the first place.
