Firewood services FAQs

Firewood tends to be cheaper during the spring and summer. When the demand for firewood is lower during these seasons, many firewood companies offer lower prices and added discounts. In addition, the supply of firewood is typically higher in these months, meaning the quality is typically higher as well.

While hardwoods are the best woods to burn, a few types of woods should be avoided when burning. Wood that has not had time to season, or “green wood,” should be avoided. The extra water in the wood makes it smoke horribly, which is not a quality you want. Additionally, it’s best to avoid any wood that is manufactured or has been treated, including coated or sealed wood, painted wood, or pressure-treated wood. These woods have chemicals that will be released into your air when burned and can cause health problems.

A cord of wood costs $300 on average, which is 128 cubic feet of wood. However, depending on the season, wood type, and where it's from, you might spend as little as $120 or as much as $900 per cord. Softwoods like pine, spruce, or cedar are typically more cost-effective, ranging from $150 to $300 per cord. These usually burn faster but are easier to ignite. Hardwoods, however, burn longer and hotter and are seen as higher quality. Common hardwoods like oak, elm, and maple cost between $250 and $500 per cord.

Learning where to store firewood is vital to keeping your wood usable and your family safe. Avoid placing firewood too close to your home and never place it directly against a building. It’s best to keep your wood at least 20 feet away from your home to avoid any accidental fire mishaps. Additionally, never stack firewood on the ground, as this could lead to pest infestations or wood that is too wet to burn. Instead, place your firewood on a rack, basket, or other structure that keeps it off the ground.

Wood is classified as either hardwood or softwood. While both are good options for firewood, hardwoods like oak, hickory, beech, cherry, elm, and maple tend to be the best quality. These woods burn longer and hotter than softwoods and often produce less smoke. As an added bonus, woods like oak, hickory, and cherry emit a sought-after scent that is sure to make your home extra cozy.
