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.

Ordered Dirt. Received Dirt. Would Buy Again.

For primary wood heat through St. Cloud's full frost to frost season, plan on three to five cords. For occasional fires, a half cord to a full cord usually lasts comfortably through 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

If you are already prepping your property for a long St. Cloud winter, pair your firewood order with a load of mulch or stone from our regional page to protect garden beds and walkways before the ground freezes.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your wood off the ground on pallets or rails so snowmelt and spring thaw do not wick moisture back into the bottom rows. Leave gaps between rows for airflow and angle the top of your stack or use a simple cover so snow does not pack down on top. In St. Cloud, a stack that stays ventilated through our freeze thaw cycles will burn far better by January.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Oak and maple are great for overnight burns because they hold coals well into the morning, while birch and ash are better for getting a fire started quickly on a cold St. Cloud evening. If you are unsure whether your wood is truly seasoned, split a piece and check the inside for a lighter color and a hollow sound when two pieces knock together, both signs the moisture has dropped enough to burn cleanly.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order firewood well before the first hard frost typically arrives around September 23, since local seasoned supply tightens up once everyone in St. Cloud starts thinking about heating season at the same time. Buying in late summer also gives freshly delivered wood extra weeks to finish drying in your own stack before you need it most.

Wood Heat in St. Cloud

St. Cloud winters run long, with first frost around September 23 and last frost not until May 7, which means many households are feeding a stove or fireplace for six months or more. Properly seasoned wood matters here because our humid summers and cold, damp falls slow down natural drying, so wood that looks dry can still be holding excess moisture inside. Green or under seasoned logs burn cooler, smoke more, and build up creosote fast, which is a real concern during a heating season this long. Local oak, ash, birch, and maple are the hardwoods most St. Cloud homes rely on, and each needs a full season or more of drying time before it burns clean. Sourcing wood that has actually had time to season through our seasons, rather than being rushed to market, is the difference between a warm January and a smoky one.

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 St. Cloud winter?

For a household heating primarily with wood through our long season, from late September frost to early May, most St. Cloud homes use three to five full cords. If wood is more of a supplemental or ambiance source, a half cord to one cord usually covers weekend fires from November through March.

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, bringing moisture content down to a level that burns hot and clean. In St. Cloud's humid summers and damp fall weather, unseasoned wood dries slowly, so buying wood that has not had proper time to season can leave you fighting smoky, low heat fires all winter.

Answer

What kind of wood will I actually get delivered?

Our loads are a mix of local hardwoods common to the St. Cloud area, mainly oak, ash, birch, and maple, chosen for solid heat output and manageable splitting. Oak and maple tend to burn longest, while birch and ash catch quickly, which is useful for getting a fire going on a cold night.

Answer

Why does it matter that the firewood is sourced locally?

Firewood should always be bought and burned near where it was cut because hauling logs long distances can spread invasive pests like the emerald ash borer, which has already damaged ash populations across Minnesota. Our wood is sourced near St. Cloud, so you get wood that supports local forest health instead of introducing new problems.

Answer

How does delivery actually work, and will you stack it for me?

We deliver your order loose to the driveway on your scheduled date, but stacking is not included, so plan to have space ready near your door or wood shed. Many St. Cloud customers stack within a day or two of delivery, especially once the ground starts to freeze and hauling wood gets harder.

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. Our quarter cord is a quarter of that volume, our third cord and half cord scale up from there, giving St. Cloud homeowners flexible options between a small supply for occasional fires and a full winter's worth of heat.

Answer

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

St. Cloud and Stearns County generally allow residential wood burning in stoves and fireplaces without special permitting, but open burning of yard waste and debris is more tightly regulated, especially during dry stretches. It is worth checking current city guidance before burning brush or yard debris, since firewood in an enclosed stove or fireplace is treated differently than open burning.
