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.

Easy to order, great service, and great product. We enjoy the final look of a very neglected beds we inherited!

For most Saratoga Springs households, a half cord to a full cord covers a typical winter of supplemental burning, while full time wood stove heat calls for closer to two cords.

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 for winter, check out our mulch and stone offerings for the same Saratoga Springs delivery area to protect garden beds before the ground freezes near that October frost line.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your firewood off the ground on pallets or rails so air can circulate underneath, since sandy loam soil holds moisture that can wick up into your stack. Keep rows narrow, no more than one log deep, and cover just the top with a tarp, leaving the sides open. This setup dries wood faster and keeps it dry through our humid summers and snowy winters alike.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Sugar maple and red oak burn long and hot, ideal for overnight fires, while yellow birch lights faster and works well for kindling a fire from cold. Test moisture by knocking two split pieces together, seasoned wood makes a sharp crack while green wood sounds dull and thuddy. A moisture meter reading under 20 percent confirms your wood is ready to burn clean.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your firewood in late summer, well before the September 30 first frost, since local supply tightens fast once temperatures drop and everyone in the region is scrambling for delivery slots. Buying early also gives your stack extra weeks of open air drying time before the cold really sets in around late October and November.

Wood Heat in Saratoga Springs

Saratoga Springs winters run long, with a heating season stretching from the first frost around September 30 into late spring near May 10. That is over seven months where a wood stove or fireplace can be doing real work in your home. Sandy loam soils and the mixed hardwood forests around the region produce excellent sugar maple, red oak, and yellow birch, all of which burn cleanest and hottest once properly seasoned. Green wood in our humid Northeast air can take a full year or more to dry, so we season ours ahead of time so it lights easily and does not smolder or tar up your chimney. With the elevation here around 305 feet and cold snaps common through January and February, having dry, ready to burn wood on hand before the deep cold arrives matters more than in milder climates.

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 Saratoga Springs winter actually use?

Homeowners who burn a few nights a week as a supplemental heat source usually go through a half cord to a full cord across our long heating season. If your wood stove is a primary heat source through the coldest stretches from December through February, plan closer to two full cords.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has dried down to a low moisture content, typically under 20 percent, after months of exposure to air and sun. In our humid upstate climate, green wood dries slowly and burns smoky and inefficient, so buying pre seasoned wood means you are ready to burn as soon as it hits your driveway.

Answer

What kinds of wood will I actually get delivered?

Expect a mix of sugar maple, red oak, and yellow birch, the dominant hardwoods in our Zone 5b forests. All three season well and put out strong, long lasting heat, which is why they are the backbone of our local firewood supply.

Answer

Is this wood sourced locally, and does that matter?

Yes, all of our firewood comes from within the Saratoga Springs region. Buying local matters because hauling firewood long distances is one of the main ways invasive pests like the emerald ash borer spread into new forests, so we keep our supply chain tight to protect the woodlands around us.

Answer

How does delivery to my house actually work?

We drop your order loose in your driveway rather than stacked, so you will want a tarp or wheelbarrow ready to move it to a dry storage spot. This keeps delivery efficient and keeps costs down compared to hauling wood by hand into a woodshed for you.

Answer

How do your cord sizes compare to a full cord?

A full cord is 128 cubic feet stacked, 4 feet high by 4 feet deep by 8 feet long. Our quarter cord is a quarter of that volume, our third cord and half cord scale up proportionally, and a full cord gives you the entire stack for homeowners heating through the whole Saratoga Springs winter.

Answer

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

Saratoga Springs falls under New York State open burning regulations, which restrict burning debris but do allow contained wood stove and fireplace use in residential appliances. If regional air quality advisories are issued during winter inversions, it is worth checking local reports before heavy burning days.
