5 Mile Firewood

5 Mile Firewood Delivery in Racine, Wisconsin

5 Mile Firewood supplies mixed hardwoods to residential customers throughout Racine. Their delivery service eliminates the need to source and transport firewood yourself, a practical advantage for homeowners who heat with wood or maintain a fireplace.

Wood Quality & Heat Output

Hardwoods like oak and hickory—common components of mixed hardwood bundles—deliver 24–28 million BTU per cord and 27–30 million BTU per cord respectively. That efficiency matters if you're burning for heat rather than ambiance. The key variable is moisture content: properly seasoned wood sits at or below 20% moisture, which maximizes heat output and minimizes creosote buildup in your chimney.

When ordering, ask whether their mixed hardwoods are seasoned to that standard. Moisture meters cost $15–30 and let you verify before burning.

Delivery & Cord Measurements

Firewood is sold by the cord—a full cord measures 128 cubic feet (4 feet high × 8 feet long × 4 feet deep). Many suppliers also offer quarter-cord and half-cord quantities, useful if you're testing a new supplier or have limited storage. Delivery windows typically range 1–3 weeks depending on demand; confirm timing when you order.
