I have ordered twice now, a pleasure to deal with, easy and fast delivery, beautiful mulch!

Most Salem households burning a few nights a week through the winter do well with a half cord to a full cord, while daily burners should plan for a full cord or more to get through the entire frost window.

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 your wood off the ground on pallets or rails and keep it under a simple roof or tarp that covers the top but leaves the sides open. Salem's marine humidity means fully enclosed covers trap moisture and slow seasoning, so airflow matters as much as staying dry. Face the stack away from prevailing wet winds when possible, and leave a gap from any fence or siding to prevent moisture transfer.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Oregon ash lights easily and burns fast, making it a good choice for building a quick, hot bed of coals, while Oregon white oak burns slower and denser, ideal for an overnight fire that holds heat through a cold Willamette Valley night. Mixing species in your firebox lets you get a fast start from the ash and lasting heat from the oak.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your wood well before the first frost typically arrives around November 7, since seasoned supply tightens up once cold, damp weather sets in and everyone else in the valley starts calling at once. Buying in late summer or early fall also gives any slightly green splits extra weeks to dry out before you need them most.

Wood Heat in Salem

Salem winters run from that first frost around November 7 through the last frost near March 22, which adds up to a long stretch of damp, chilly evenings where the Willamette Valley's marine air keeps humidity high and green wood stubborn to burn clean. Our seasoned hardwood is dried down before it ever reaches your driveway, so it lights faster and burns hotter even when the fog sits low for days at a time. Local mixes typically include Oregon ash, bigleaf maple, and Oregon white oak, species that split well and hold a steady coal bed through a long Willamette Valley night. Because Salem sits in zone 8b at a modest 177 feet of elevation, the cold isn't extreme, but the sheer number of damp, heating degree days means efficient, low moisture wood matters more here than in drier climates. Buying wood that has already had time to season properly, rather than green rounds cut and sold the same season, is the difference between a smoky, sap filled stove and one that throws real heat.

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 does a typical Salem winter actually use?

For a home using a wood stove as a secondary heat source through Salem's frost window from early November to late March, most households burn somewhere between a half cord and a full cord. If wood heat is your primary source through the whole valley winter, plan closer to two full cords, especially if you are burning most evenings once temperatures drop.

Answer

What does seasoned firewood actually mean, and does it matter here?

Seasoned means the wood has been split and air dried long enough to drop its internal moisture, typically under 20 percent, instead of being cut green and sold right away. In Salem's damp valley air, unseasoned wood resists lighting, smokes heavily, and can leave creosote buildup in your flue, so seasoning matters more here than in drier inland climates.

Answer

What kind of wood will I actually get delivered?

Our mix is sourced locally near Salem and typically includes Oregon ash, bigleaf maple, and Oregon white oak, all common hardwoods in the Willamette Valley that split cleanly and burn with a long, steady coal base.

Answer

Why does it matter that the firewood is sourced locally?

Firewood should always be bought near where it will be burned because hauling wood long distances is one of the main ways invasive pests like the emerald ash borer spread into new areas. Our wood is sourced locally near Salem so you are not unknowingly introducing pests from another region into your yard or neighborhood.

Answer

How does delivery actually work once I order?

You choose your cord size, we schedule a delivery window that fits your timeline, and the wood is delivered loose to your driveway rather than stacked, so you will want a plan for moving and stacking it once it arrives.

Answer

What is the difference between a quarter cord, a half cord, and a full cord?

A full cord is 128 cubic feet of stacked wood, measuring 4 feet high by 4 feet deep by 8 feet long. From there, a half cord is roughly 64 cubic feet, a third cord is about 43 cubic feet, and a quarter cord is around 32 cubic feet, each scaled proportionally so you can match your storage space and burn rate.

Answer

Are there any local burn rules I should know about in Salem?

The Willamette Valley experiences periodic air quality advisories during stagnant, foggy winter conditions, so it is worth checking local burn advisories before lighting up on days with poor air circulation, and always burning well seasoned wood produces far less smoke than green wood regardless of conditions.
