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.

Ordered Dirt. Received Dirt. Would Buy Again.

For a typical Seattle heating season, expect to use a half cord if you burn occasionally and up to a full cord or more 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. Smaller sizes are the same stack at a quarter, half, or three quarters of that volume.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your wood off the ground on pallets or a raised rack, since Seattle's near constant winter dampness will wick moisture up from soil and undo your seasoning. Cover the top with a tarp or lean to roof but leave the sides open for airflow, otherwise trapped moisture from our humid air can encourage mold and slow, uneven drying inside the stack.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Bigleaf maple lights easily and burns hot but faster than denser woods, so it works well for getting a fire going before adding alder or ash for longer, steadier heat. If you are unsure whether a piece is ready, look for cracked end grain and a hollow sound when two pieces knock together, both signs the wood has dried enough for a clean burn.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your firewood in early fall before the first frost hits around mid November, since demand climbs fast once temperatures drop and wet weather sets in. Buying ahead also gives any slightly green splits extra weeks to finish drying under cover before you actually need to burn them.

Wood Heat in Seattle

Seattle winters are long and damp, with a heating season that stretches from mid November frost through mid March, meaning wood stoves and fireplaces often run for four months straight. Our Pacific Northwest air holds a lot of moisture, so wood that has not been properly seasoned struggles to catch and burns cold, smoky, and inefficient. We season our hardwood, mostly bigleaf maple, Oregon ash, and alder sourced near Seattle, down to burnable moisture levels before it ever reaches your driveway. Because our region rarely sees the deep dry heat that speeds up seasoning elsewhere, wood cut and split locally needs extra time under cover to shed moisture, and we handle that step so you do not have to. Burning properly seasoned wood also matters for air quality in the greater Seattle area, where wet wood smoke contributes more particulate pollution on already damp winter days. Starting your season with dry, ready to burn hardwood means less creosote buildup, less smoke, and more actual heat in your home.

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 Seattle winter?

Most Seattle households burning a few nights a week from November through March use somewhere between three quarters of a cord and a full cord. If your stove is your primary heat source rather than a supplement, plan closer to a cord and a half.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has dried down to a low enough moisture content to burn hot and clean, typically under 20 percent. With Seattle's persistent rain and humidity, unseasoned wood can take a full year or more to dry properly on its own, so buying pre seasoned wood saves you a season of smoky, inefficient fires.

Answer

What kind of wood will I actually get delivered?

Expect a mix of local hardwoods like bigleaf maple, Oregon ash, and alder, all common species harvested within the Puget Sound region. These woods season well in our climate and provide solid, steady heat once dried.

Answer

Is this wood actually local, and does that matter?

Yes, we source within the greater Seattle area rather than trucking wood in from other regions. Keeping firewood local helps prevent the spread of invasive pests like the emerald ash borer, which can hitch a ride in transported logs and devastate local tree populations.

Answer

How does delivery to my driveway actually work?

We schedule a drop off window, then deliver your chosen cord amount loose to your driveway. Stacking is not included, so plan on moving it to a covered area yourself or with help.

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 total. A quarter cord is one fourth of that volume, a half cord is half, and so on, so you can size your order to match your stove use without overbuying.

Answer

Are there any local rules about burning wood in Seattle?

The Puget Sound Clean Air Agency issues burn ban advisories on days when winter air stagnation traps smoke close to the ground, so it is worth checking their notices during cold snaps. Burning well seasoned wood like ours produces far less particulate smoke, which helps you stay in good standing even on marginal air days.
