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 Springfield homes using wood heat a few nights a week, one to one and a half cords covers a typical season, while daily wood burners should order 3 to 4 cords to avoid running short in the coldest months.

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 your property for winter, check out our mulch and soil options for Springfield yards, ideal for insulating garden beds and improving drainage in our region's silt loam soil before the ground freezes.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your firewood off the ground on pallets or a rack so air can circulate underneath, and keep the top covered but the sides open to the weather. Springfield's humid summers and snowy winters mean uncovered wood can reabsorb moisture fast, so a simple tarp or roof over the top, angled to shed rain and snow, keeps your seasoned wood dry and ready to burn all season long.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Oak and sugar maple both burn long and hot, making them ideal for overnight burns in cold January stretches, while birch lights quickly and works well for getting a fire started fast. Mixing species lets you build fires that start easy and hold heat, and you can check moisture with a simple pocket meter to confirm your wood reads below 20 percent before loading the stove.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your firewood in late summer or early fall, well before Springfield's first frost around October 10. Ordering early means your wood has extra time to finish drying near your storage area, and you avoid the rush that hits local suppliers once temperatures start dropping and everyone remembers winter is close.

Wood Heat in Springfield

Springfield sits in growing zone 6a with a heating season that typically runs from that first mid October frost through the last frost near the end of April, which means many households are feeding a stove or fireplace for six months or more. Our region's silt loam soils support strong stands of oak, ash, sugar maple, and birch, the same species that make up the bulk of our seasoned firewood. New England humidity slows down natural drying, so wood that has not been properly seasoned can sit at 30 percent moisture or higher well into winter, leading to smoky, low heat fires and dangerous creosote buildup in chimneys. We season our hardwood through a full spring and summer cycle so it is ready to burn hot and clean the day it hits your driveway. With Springfield winters running long and Massachusetts homes relying heavily on wood heat as backup or primary supplemental heat, starting the season with properly dried, local hardwood makes a real difference in comfort and chimney safety.

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 Springfield winter?

Most Springfield households burning a woodstove several nights a week as supplemental heat go through 2 to 3 full cords across the heating season, which typically runs from our first frost around October 10 to the last frost near April 30. If you burn nightly as a primary heat source, plan closer to 4 cords, especially during the coldest stretches of January and February.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has dried for at least six months to a year after splitting, dropping its moisture content low enough to burn efficiently. In Springfield's humid climate, unseasoned or green wood holds onto moisture much longer than in drier regions, so buying wood that is already seasoned saves you from smoky fires, poor heat output, and creosote buildup in your chimney.

Answer

What kind of wood will I actually get delivered?

Our seasoned hardwood is sourced from stock local to the Springfield area and typically includes oak, sugar maple, ash, and birch, species that grow well in our silt loam soils and are known for solid, long burning heat once properly dried.

Answer

Is this firewood really local, and does that matter?

Yes, we source our firewood locally near Springfield rather than trucking it in from far away. Buying and burning wood close to where it was cut helps prevent the spread of invasive pests like the emerald ash borer, which can hitch a ride in firewood moved long distances and devastate local tree populations.

Answer

How does delivery actually work?

You choose your cord size, schedule a delivery window, and we drop the wood loose at the end of your driveway. Stacking is not included, so plan to move it to its final storage spot yourself or with help soon after 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 stacked, measuring 4 feet high by 4 feet deep by 8 feet long. Our quarter cord is roughly a quarter of that volume, our third cord about a third, and our half cord half of a full cord, so you can size your order to match how much wood you actually burn each season.

Answer

Are there any local rules about burning wood in Springfield?

Massachusetts occasionally issues air quality advisories during winter temperature inversions that can trap wood smoke close to the ground, so it is worth checking local air quality alerts on high pollution days and burning only well seasoned wood to keep smoke output low.
