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 a typical Sterling Heights heating season running October through April, plan on one to two cords for supplemental fires or two to three cords if wood heat is your primary 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. 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 the yard for winter, check out our mulch and soil options sourced for Sterling Heights's clay loam soil, ideal for insulating beds before the ground freezes.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your wood off the ground on pallets or rails so Michigan's freeze thaw cycles and spring snowmelt do not wick moisture back into your rounds. Leave the top loosely covered but the sides open for airflow, since fully wrapping a stack traps humidity, especially through our muggy late summer stretch before burning season starts.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Oak and hard maple both burn long and hot, making them ideal for overnight coal beds during Sterling Heights's coldest stretches in January. Ash lights faster and is great for building a quick fire, so keep a mix on hand and start with ash kindling before adding denser oak or maple splits once the fire is established.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your firewood in late summer or early fall, well before the October 10 average first frost. Waiting until the first cold snap means competing with every other homeowner for delivery slots, and freshly cut wood delivered too close to winter will not have had enough time to finish drying properly.”

Wood Heat in Sterling Heights

Sterling Heights winters run long, with first frost typically settling in around October 10 and lingering cold that doesn't let go until the last frost near May 3. That is a heating season of six months or more, and burning green or partially dried wood during that stretch means more smoke, more creosote buildup, and far less heat output. Our seasoned hardwood is dried down to a proper moisture level before it ever reaches your driveway, which matters even more in Macomb County's humid summers that can slow natural seasoning if wood is not stored right. Local species like oak, hard maple, and ash are dense and burn long and hot, ideal for the kind of steady overnight burns Sterling Heights homeowners rely on in January and February. Buying wood that has already been properly seasoned means you are ready to burn the day it arrives, not months from now.

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 Sterling Heights winter?

Most homeowners burning a few nights a week from October through April go through half a cord to a full cord. If your fireplace or stove is your main heat source rather than just ambiance, plan closer to two to three cords for the season.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has dried to roughly 20 percent moisture or less. In our humid Michigan summers, unseasoned wood struggles to dry properly if left uncovered, so we season ours ahead of time to guarantee it lights easily and burns clean even in damp winter air.

Answer

What kind of wood will I actually get?

Expect a mix of local hardwoods common to southeastern Michigan, mainly oak, hard maple, and ash. These species are dense, burn hot, and hold a coal bed well, which is useful for the long overnight burns our winters demand.

Answer

Is this wood really local, and does that matter?

Yes, we source within the Sterling Heights area. Keeping firewood local is important because moving wood long distances is one of the main ways pests like the emerald ash borer spread, and Michigan has already seen serious ash tree losses from it.

Answer

How does delivery actually work?

You choose your cord size and a delivery date, and we bring the wood loose to your driveway. Stacking is not included, so plan on having space and a bit of time to move it once it arrives.

Answer

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

A full cord is a stacked pile measuring 4 feet high by 4 feet deep by 8 feet long, or 128 cubic feet. A half cord is half that volume, a quarter cord a quarter, and so on, so you can size your order to your storage space and how much you burn.

Answer

Are there any local rules about burning wood in Sterling Heights?

Sterling Heights follows Macomb County air quality guidance, which can include burn advisories during periods of poor air quality, so it is worth checking local notices during stagnant winter weather before lighting up an outdoor fire pit.
