Occasional burners typically do fine with a quarter to a third cord, while those relying on wood heat through Thornton's full six month season should order a half cord to a full cord.

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.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your firewood off the ground on a pallet or rack, since Thornton's spring snowmelt can leave driveways and yards damp for days. Leave the top loosely covered but the sides open so air keeps circulating, and position the stack away from your house's siding to avoid trapping moisture against it during our unpredictable spring weather swings.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Ash burns hot and steady, making it a solid choice for cold January nights, while cottonwood lights fast but burns quicker, so it works well for kindling or shorter evening fires. Mixing species in your firebox lets you get a fast start from lighter wood and long lasting heat from denser pieces later in the burn.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your firewood well before the first hard frost typically hits around October 5, since demand climbs fast once temperatures drop and supplies of properly seasoned local wood can run tight. Ordering in late summer or early fall also gives you time to stack and settle your wood before you actually need it.

Wood Heat in Thornton

Thornton sits at 5,351 feet with a heating season that often runs from that first October 5 frost clear through the last frost around May 5, which means many households are feeding a stove or fireplace for six months or more. At this elevation and along the Front Range, the air stays fairly dry, which is actually good news for firewood because it helps wood season faster and burn cleaner than it would in a humid climate. Locally sourced hardwoods like Colorado ash, cottonwood, and box elder are common in our mix, and each behaves differently in a firebox, so knowing what you are burning matters. Green or improperly seasoned wood creates more creosote buildup in chimneys, which is a real concern during Thornton's long, cold nights when stoves run for hours at a time. Buying seasoned wood that has already dropped its moisture content means less smoke, more heat, and a safer chimney all winter long.

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 Thornton winter actually require

For homeowners burning a few nights a week from October through the last frost in early May, a half cord to a full cord usually covers the season. If your stove is your primary heat source through Thornton's long, cold stretch, plan closer to a full cord or more.

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 Colorado's dry air. Burning seasoned wood in Thornton's chimneys reduces creosote buildup, which is especially important during the long cold snaps when stoves run nonstop.

Answer

What kinds of wood will I get with a Thornton delivery

Our loads are a mix of local hardwoods commonly found along the Front Range, including ash, cottonwood, and box elder, all split and seasoned so they are ready to burn on arrival.

Answer

Is this firewood actually sourced near Thornton

Yes, we source locally rather than trucking wood in from far away. Moving firewood long distances can spread invasive pests like the emerald ash borer, which is already a concern for ash trees across Colorado, so keeping our wood local protects the trees in your own neighborhood.

Answer

How does delivery to my driveway work

We deliver your order loose to the driveway rather than stacked, so you will want to plan for a bit of time to move and stack it once it arrives, especially before an early frost catches you off guard.

Answer

What is a cord and how do your sizes compare

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, third cord, and half cord options are simply fractions of that full stack, so you can size your order to match your woodstove usage or storage space without paying for more than you need.

Answer

Are there any local burn rules I should know about in Thornton

The Front Range occasionally issues high pollution advisories during winter inversions that can restrict wood burning on certain days, so it is worth checking local air quality advisories before planning a big burn day, especially during stagnant cold spells.
