About this firewood

A quarter cord of seasoned hardwood, split and ready to burn. A tidy starter load for occasional fires and fireplace evenings through the season.

Wonderful experience! They put the mulch exactly where we wanted. This mulch spread very easily and didn’t have the usual “mulch smell.” We will definitely use again!

For most Salt Lake City households, a half cord to a full cord covers a season of regular weekend fires, while full time wood heat users should plan on two to three cords before the first October frost.

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. Smaller sizes are the same stack at a quarter, half, or three quarters of that volume.

Complete Your Outdoor Project

While you are prepping for winter, consider adding mulch or bark to insulate garden beds against our Zone 7a freeze thaw cycles, sourced from the same Salt Lake City delivery service.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your firewood off the ground on a pallet or rack, since Salt Lake City's clay soil holds moisture at the surface even in our dry climate and can wick dampness into your bottom rows. Leave gaps between rows for airflow and cover just the top of the stack, keeping the sides open so the wood keeps drying rather than trapping condensation underneath a full tarp.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Local oak and ash both split cleanly and burn long, but ash lights faster and works well for starting a fire, while denser oak is better saved for overnight burns when you want lasting coals. Test moisture by knocking two pieces together, well seasoned wood makes a sharp crack rather than a dull thud.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your firewood well before the first frost in mid October, since demand climbs fast once nighttime temperatures start dropping along the Wasatch Front. Buying early also gives freshly delivered wood extra weeks to finish drying in our low humidity air before you need it for a cold snap.

Wood Heat in Salt Lake City

Salt Lake City winters stretch from mid October frost through late April, which means a long heating season for wood stoves and fireplaces across the valley. Wood that has not been properly seasoned struggles to burn hot in our dry mountain air, leaving homeowners with smoky, inefficient fires and dangerous creosote buildup. Our firewood is seasoned locally, so the moisture content is already adjusted to the low humidity typical of the Salt Lake Valley and benches. Local hardwoods like oak and ash split and dry well in this climate, giving you dense, long burning logs for those cold Wasatch Front nights. Because our wood comes from nearby sources, it has seasoned under the same dry conditions it will be burned in, not shipped in from a humid region and mismatched to our climate.

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 need to get through a typical Salt Lake City winter?

Most homeowners burning a few nights a week from October through April go through about one to one and a half cords. If your wood stove or fireplace insert is your primary heat source during our long six month heating season, plan closer to two or three cords.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has dried down to a low moisture content, usually under 20 percent, after being split and stored for several months. In our dry Salt Lake Valley air this happens fairly quickly, but green wood still burns cooler, smokes more, and builds up creosote faster in your chimney, which matters during our long burning season.

Answer

What kind of wood will I actually get?

You can expect a mix of local hardwoods such as oak, ash, and maple sourced from around the Salt Lake City area. These species split cleanly and hold heat well, which is useful when overnight temperatures along the Wasatch Front drop well below freezing.

Answer

Is this wood really local, and does that matter?

Yes, all of our firewood is sourced near Salt Lake City rather than trucked in from out of state. Keeping firewood local helps prevent the spread of invasive pests like the emerald ash borer, which can hitch a ride in firewood moved long distances and has already threatened ash trees across Utah.

Answer

How does delivery to my house actually work?

Once you choose your cord size and schedule a date, our truck brings the wood directly to your driveway and unloads it loose. Stacking is not part of the delivery, so plan on some time afterward to move it to your storage spot.

Answer

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

A full cord is a stack measuring 4 feet high by 4 feet deep by 8 feet long, or 128 cubic feet of stacked wood. A quarter cord is one fourth of that volume, a half cord is half, and a three quarter cord is three fourths, so you can size your order to your stove use and storage space. Some folks also use the term rick or face cord, which is not the same measurement, so we stick with fraction of cord sizing to keep things clear.

Answer

Are there any local rules about burning wood I should know about?

Salt Lake City participates in seasonal air quality advisories during winter inversions, when the valley can trap smoke and particulates against the mountains for days at a time. On mandatory no burn days, wood burning is restricted, so it helps to have a backup heat plan and to check current advisories before lighting up.
