Getting a cord delivered in Madison shouldn't mean a week of phone calls. Describe what you need once — your request goes out to firewood sellers whose delivery area covers Madison Metro, and they come back to you with prices.
Firewood demand around Madison climbs as soon as temperatures drop, and well-seasoned wood gets harder to find deeper into winter — posting early generally means better pricing and more delivery dates to choose from.
ZIP code, amount (a quarter cord to several cords), seasoned or green, and your timeline.
Every firewood seller whose delivery area reaches Madison is notified, and quotes your exact order.

Honestly: it varies too much by region for a single number to be useful, and anyone quoting you a nationwide average is guessing. What drives the price is species (dense hardwood costs more than mixed or softwood), how dry it is (seasoned and kiln-dried command a premium over green), volume (a full cord is cheaper per cubic foot than a quarter), how far the seller drives, and whether you want it stacked. Post what you need and you'll get real numbers from sellers who actually deliver to Madison — which beats any estimate we could print here.
Many firewood sellers offer stacking for a small add-on fee. Mention it in the notes on your request and any seller who quotes can price it in.
Mark your request "as soon as possible" and it goes out immediately to sellers whose delivery radius covers your ZIP. How quickly you hear back depends on who is actively selling near you — where coverage is good, same-week delivery is common in season.
Firewood sold around Wisconsin is commonly Oak, Maple, Ash, Birch. Hardwoods burn longer and hotter; softer species light easier and cost less.
It happens, particularly in rural areas and newer markets. Your request stays open for 30 days, so a seller expanding into your area can still pick it up — and you'll know either way instead of waiting on a phone that never rings. You can also check the free wood board or browse the timber.bid marketplace directly.
Sometimes — tree crews and neighbors post surplus wood (rounds, logs, sometimes split firewood) on the wood.delivery free wood board, free to claim and sortable by distance from Madison. Free wood is usually green and needs 6–12 months of seasoning; for ready-to-burn cords delivered to your driveway, post a quote request instead.
Not every woodpile starts with a purchase. Tree crews finishing takedowns and neighbors clearing lots post surplus wood — rounds, logs, sometimes split firewood — on the free wood board, free to claim. You haul it, split it, season it, and it's next winter's heat.
Have extra wood in Madison? Post it free in about a minute instead of paying dump fees — local burners and firewood processors are the takers.
