About this firewood

A quarter cord of seasoned hardwood, 32 cubic feet, split and ready to burn. A tidy starter load for occasional fires and fireplace evenings through the season.

I needed 3 yards of top soil and that's what I got! Right on time and right where I asked it to be placed (Order# 2041).

Most Albany homes get through the winter comfortably with a half cord to a full cord, depending on how often the fireplace or wood stove gets used.

A full cord is a stacked pile of split firewood measuring 4 feet high by 4 feet deep by 8 feet long, about 128 cubic feet. Every size we sell is measured against that same standard. A full cord is 128 cubic feet, a half cord is 64, a third of a cord is 43, and a quarter cord is 32. When you compare prices, ask how many cubic feet you are getting. A stack sold as 4 feet high by 8 feet long looks the same from the front whether it is 4 feet deep or 16 inches deep, but the shallow one holds about a third as much wood.

Complete Your Outdoor Project

While you are prepping for winter, consider pairing your firewood delivery with a fresh layer of mulch or soil for Albany's sandy loam beds, since fall is an ideal time to protect roots before the first frost hits in mid November.

Areas we deliver firewood in Albany, Georgia

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your firewood off the ground on a pallet or rack, and keep it under a simple cover or tarp that shields the top while leaving the sides open for airflow. Albany's humidity means fully enclosed covers can trap moisture and encourage mold or slow rot. A well ventilated stack near a sunny, breezy spot on your property will stay drier and burn more reliably through our damp winter nights.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Oak and hickory both burn hot and long, making them great for overnight coals, while pecan lights a bit faster and works well for building a quick evening fire. If you are unsure whether a piece is truly seasoned, look for gray, cracked ends and a hollow sound when two pieces are knocked together, both signs the moisture content has dropped enough for clean burning.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your firewood before the first frost typically arrives around November 13, since demand tends to spike once the first genuinely cold nights hit Albany. Ordering early also gives freshly delivered wood extra weeks to finish drying out in your storage area before you need it most, which matters given our humid regional air.

Wood Heat in Albany

Albany's heating season is short compared to much of the country, running roughly from mid November to late April, but the humid southwest Georgia air means unseasoned wood struggles to dry out on its own once cold snaps hit. Sandy loam soils and mild frost windows here support strong stands of oak, hickory, and pecan, all of which make excellent dense burning firewood once properly seasoned. Because our humidity stays high most of the year, wood cut and split just weeks before delivery often still carries too much internal moisture to burn clean. That is why we season our hardwood well before it reaches your driveway, so it lights easier and produces more heat with less smoke. For local homeowners heating through our shorter but often damp winters, dry, well seasoned wood makes a real difference in fireplace performance and chimney safety.

Local Hardwood Species

Expect dense regional hardwoods like oak, hickory, maple, and ash. These species burn longer and hotter than softwoods, which is what you want when a cold snap settles in and the stove runs all day.

Seasoning and Moisture

Firewood needs 6 to 12 months of drying before it burns well. Properly seasoned wood lights faster, throws more heat, and keeps creosote out of your chimney, which matters most in the coldest weeks of the year.

Buy Local, Burn Local

Firewood that travels long distances spreads invasive pests like the emerald ash borer. Our wood is cut and seasoned close to where it is delivered, which protects local trees and means fresher wood for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Click a question to see the answer

Answer

How much firewood do we actually need for an Albany winter?

Because our cold season is fairly short and mild compared to northern states, most Albany households burning a few nights a week get through winter on a half cord to a full cord. Homeowners who rely on a wood stove as a primary heat source, or who like frequent evening fires from November through April, often prefer a full cord for a comfortable buffer.

Answer

What does seasoned firewood mean and why does it matter here?

Seasoned firewood has been dried down to a lower moisture content after cutting and splitting, usually six months to a year depending on species and conditions. In Albany's humid climate, green wood dries much slower than in drier regions, so buying wood that is already properly seasoned saves you from smoky, hard to light fires and reduces creosote buildup in your chimney.

Answer

What kinds of wood will I get with my delivery?

Our local sourcing near Albany typically means a mix of oak, hickory, and pecan, all dense hardwoods common to southwest Georgia. These species burn hot and long, which suits our shorter but sometimes sharply cold nights well.

Answer

Is your firewood really sourced locally, and does that matter?

Yes, our firewood is sourced near Albany rather than trucked in from far away. Buying and burning wood locally helps prevent the spread of invasive pests like the emerald ash borer, which can hitch a ride in firewood moved long distances and damage healthy trees in new areas.

Answer

How does delivery to my driveway actually work?

Once you choose a cord size and delivery date, our truck brings your seasoned hardwood and unloads it loose directly onto your driveway. Stacking is not included, so plan on some time afterward to move it to your storage spot or wood rack.

Answer

What is a cord, and how do the smaller sizes compare?

A full cord is 128 cubic feet of stacked wood, measuring 4 feet high by 4 feet deep by 8 feet long. Our quarter cord is one quarter of that volume, our third cord is one third, and our half cord is half, giving Albany homeowners flexible options depending on how much storage space and burning they plan for.

Answer

Are there any local rules or air quality concerns about burning firewood in Albany?

Southwest Georgia does not typically see the strict wood burning bans found in some western states with severe wintertime air inversions, but it is still worth checking with Dougherty County or the city of Albany for any active air quality advisories on unusually still, cold days. Burning fully seasoned wood also produces less smoke, which is a simple way to be a good neighbor regardless of local rules.
