What Is Seasoned Firewood?
Seasoned firewood is wood that has been allowed to dry after being cut, reducing its moisture content so it burns more efficiently and produces a more consistent fire.
Freshly cut or “green” wood contains a significant amount of moisture. When burned, much of the fire’s energy is used to evaporate that water rather than produce useful heat. Properly seasoned firewood burns more readily and is generally easier to light and maintain.
For homeowners in Denver and the foothills, choosing and storing firewood properly is especially important. Dry wood should be protected from rain and snow while still allowing air to circulate around the stack.
The type of wood, its moisture level, how it is cut, and how it has been stored can all affect how well it burns.
Common Firewood Types for Denver & Colorado
Different types of firewood burn differently. Wood species, moisture content, and how the wood has been seasoned all affect heat output, burn time, smoke, and ease of starting a fire.
Oak Firewood
Dense hardwood that burns slowly and provides long-lasting heat. Properly seasoned oak is a popular choice for wood stoves and fireplaces.
Ash Firewood
Known for producing consistent heat and generally being easier to light than many dense hardwoods. Ash is commonly valued for its relatively straightforward burning characteristics.
Maple Firewood
A dense hardwood that can provide good heat and a steady burn when properly seasoned.
Ponderosa Pine Firewood
A common Colorado softwood that lights readily and can be useful for getting a fire started. It generally burns faster than dense hardwoods.
Cottonwood Firewood
Common throughout Colorado, cottonwood can be used as firewood when properly seasoned, although it generally provides less heat per volume than denser hardwoods.
Aspen Firewood
A lighter Colorado wood that burns relatively quickly and can be useful for starting or maintaining fires, but generally doesn’t provide the long burn time of dense hardwoods.

Keeping and Storing Seasoned Firewood
Properly Seasoned Firewood
Well-seasoned firewood contains less moisture, making it easier to light, producing more usable heat, and reducing excessive smoke.
Proper Storage
Stack firewood off the ground in a location with good airflow. Cover the top of the stack to protect it from snow and precipitation while leaving the sides open.
Wood Size & Splitting
Firewood should be split into manageable pieces appropriate for your fireplace or wood stove. A mix of sizes can make starting and maintaining a fire easier.
Keep Firewood Away from the House
Store firewood in a suitable location away from exterior walls when possible. This helps keep insects and moisture away from the home and gives the wood better airflow.
For Denver-area homeowners, properly seasoned firewood is especially important. Dry, well-seasoned wood burns more efficiently, produces less smoke, and is easier to start than freshly cut or poorly stored wood. Firewood should be kept off the ground and protected from precipitation while allowing air to circulate around the stack.

Homeowners often have questions about tree removal, trimming, and tree safety. Here are answers to some of the most common questions we receive from customers throughout Denver and the surrounding foothill communities.
1. What does “seasoned firewood” mean?
Seasoned firewood is wood that has been cut, split, and allowed to dry so that its moisture content is reduced before burning. Properly seasoned wood generally lights more easily and burns more efficiently than freshly cut, or “green,” wood.
2. What types of firewood are available in Denver?
Firewood availability can vary by season and supply. Common firewood choices in the Denver area include oak, ash, maple, ponderosa pine, cottonwood, and aspen. Different species have different burning characteristics, including heat output, burn time, and ease of starting.
3. How much firewood is a cord?
A full cord is a standard volume measurement equal to 128 cubic feet of stacked firewood, commonly arranged as a stack measuring approximately 4 feet high by 4 feet deep by 8 feet long. Because pieces vary in length and how tightly they are stacked, the actual dimensions can differ while still representing the same volume.
4. How should I store firewood in Colorado?
Store firewood off the ground in a location with good air circulation. Protect the top of the stack from snow and precipitation, but avoid completely enclosing the sides. Good airflow helps keep the wood dry and ready to burn.
