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 a typical Trenton heating season running late October through mid April, plan on one cord for occasional use, two for regular weekly burning, and three or more if wood is your 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. 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 for winter, check out our mulch and soil options sourced for the same Trenton clay loam conditions to protect garden beds before the ground freezes.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your wood off the ground on pallets or rails so Trenton's damp soil and clay loam drainage do not wick moisture back into the bottom rows. Leave gaps between rows for airflow, and cover only the top of the stack, keeping the sides open so humidity from our wet winters can escape instead of collecting under a full tarp.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Oak and hickory from our area burn slower and hotter, making them ideal for overnight coals, while ash lights faster and works well for building a quick evening fire. Test a split by knocking two pieces together, a sharp crack suggests proper seasoning, while a dull thud often means it still needs more drying time.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your firewood in late summer or early fall, well before Trenton's first frost around October 25, since demand and prices climb once temperatures drop and everyone else remembers winter is coming. Early ordering also gives any slightly green splits extra weeks to dry before you need them.

Wood Heat in Trenton

Trenton sits in growing zone 7a with a heating season that typically runs from late October through mid April, meaning many homes rely on wood heat or supplemental burning for nearly six months. Our area's clay loam soil and humid mid Atlantic air mean freshly cut wood holds onto moisture far longer than in drier climates, so unseasoned logs can smoke and smolder instead of throwing real heat. Local hardwoods like oak, hickory, and ash need six months to a year of proper drying to reach a safe burning moisture level under Trenton's humidity. Seasoned wood also matters because Trenton's older homes, many with traditional masonry fireplaces and wood stoves from earlier building eras, need a hot, clean burning fuel to avoid creosote buildup in chimneys during our long, damp winters. Buying wood that has already been split and dried locally means it is ready to perform the first time you load the firebox, 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

Answer

How much firewood do I actually need to get through a Trenton winter?

With our frost window typically running from late October to mid April, most Trenton households burning a few nights a week for supplemental heat use around one to two cords per season, while homes relying on wood as a primary heat source often go through three or more cords.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has been split and air dried for six months to a year until its internal moisture drops low enough to burn hot and clean, which is especially important in Trenton's humid summers and damp winters that slow natural drying compared to drier inland climates.

Answer

What kinds of wood will I get with a Trenton delivery?

Expect a mix of local hardwoods common to the Trenton area such as oak, hickory, and ash, all known for dense, long burning coals that suit our clay loam region's forests.

Answer

Is this firewood actually local, and does that matter?

Yes, our wood is sourced near Trenton, which matters because hauling firewood long distances is a known way invasive pests like the emerald ash borer spread into new areas, so buying and burning locally helps protect the region's remaining ash trees.

Answer

How does delivery to my driveway actually work?

We dump your order loose in the driveway rather than stacking it, so plan on having space cleared near your intended storage spot before the truck arrives.

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, totaling 128 cubic feet, and our quarter, half, and three quarter cord options are simply fractional portions of that same measurement, so you can size the order to your storage space and burn rate.

Answer

Are there any local rules about burning wood in Trenton?

Mercer County and the wider New Jersey air quality region occasionally issue burn advisories during poor air quality days, so it is worth checking local notices before lighting up on stagnant winter afternoons.
