Seasoned FIREWOOD
Locally-Sourced Firewood
Our mixed hardwood firewood is locally sourced from Alpine Tree’s pruning and tree removal work in Morris County and surrounding areas. By repurposing wood that would otherwise go to a landfill, we're helping the environment and providing a much-needed local service. We believe in giving our customers only the best - and that means well-seasoned hardwood.

Clean, Dry Firewood
All of our firewood is seasoned for at least a year in a protected area to ensure that it's fully dry. We use high-grade wood, check it carefully to ensure there are no insects or rot, and put it through a cleaning process to remove excess bark and debris.

Did You Know?
Firewood Facts
- It takes at least 9 -10 months to fully season firewood, depending on the tree species.
- The ideal moisture content of seasoned firewood is 15%-20%.
- The higher the moisture content of your wood, the less heat it will produce.
- The hissing sound you hear when burning wet wood is the moisture being converted to steam and escaping through cracks in the wood.
- The energy used to convert moisture to steam is wasted energy that should be used in warming your house or heating your grill or pizza oven.
FAQs About Our Firewood
The legal definition of a full cord of firewood in the USA is a stack of firewood that typically measures 4' wide x 4' high x 8' long and is 128 cubic feet in volume. That's a lot of wood!
When we say you'll get a "cord of firewood", we mean a full cord - and we usually throw in a little extra 🙂
You may also hear the term "face cord". That refers to a stack of wood 4' high x 8' long and averaging about 16" wide (that's the normal size of a piece of firewood). In total, a face cord is about 1/3 of a full cord of firewood.
A full cord of firewood is 128 cubic feet. It measures 4' x 4' x 8' so be sure you have enough space to stack it before you place an order.
A ½ cord of firewood is, as you might expect, ½ the amount and size of a full cord. It'll take up 64 cubic feet or a space that's 4' x 4' x 4'.
We do not sell bundled firewood.
However, you can readily find bundled firewood at garden centers and even grocery stores around New Jersey. That's fine for use in a firepit or one night in your fireplace. But it generally won't last much beyond that and you're paying a premium for the convenience of having a small stack of firewood bundled up so you can easily carry it home.
Based on availability, we may be able to fill an order for a specific type of wood (e.g., oak, maple, apple). There will be a higher charge for single-species orders.
Here are the key indicators of well-seasoned firewood:
Cracks & splits in the wood- As wood dries, it starts to split at the cut ends and display cracks.
Peeling bark - If you tap on a log and the bark falls off or peels away, that's a good sign that the firewood is dry.
Dull color - Seasoned firewood will have a dull but clean color (no green wood)
Wood feels dry - Although this isn't always the best way to tell if firewood is fully dry, it's a good way to tell if it's still wet. Usually, freshly-cut wood will feel cool or damp.
We only offer firewood delivery. There is no option to pick up your order directly.
