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.

Online ordering was really simple and I liked the transparent pricing.

For most Asheville homes burning several nights a week across our long frost window, a half cord to a full cord is a reasonable starting point for the season.

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.

Areas we deliver firewood in Asheville, North Carolina

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your firewood off the ground on a pallet or rack, and keep it under a simple roof or tarp that covers the top while leaving the sides open for airflow. Asheville's humidity means fully enclosed covers can trap moisture and encourage mold instead of drying. A stack against a south facing wall gets extra sun exposure, which helps keep wood dry between our frequent mountain rain systems.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Locust and oak from our area both burn long and hot, making them ideal for overnight coals during the coldest stretches between December and February. Hickory lights a bit easier and works well for building a fire up quickly on chilly fall evenings before the deep winter cold sets in. Mixing species lets you match the fire to the moment.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your firewood before late September if you want first pick of fully seasoned wood, since demand climbs fast once temperatures start dropping toward our mid October frost date. Ordering early also gives freshly delivered wood extra weeks to finish drying in your own storage space before you need it most.

Wood Heat in Asheville

Asheville sits at over 2,100 feet in elevation, and with a frost window running from mid October to late April, our heating season is longer than most of the Southeast. Wood stoves and fireplaces here need to work harder through those cold mountain nights, which means the wood you burn has to be truly seasoned, not just cut and split recently. Our region's humidity slows down natural drying, so wood that looks split and stacked may still hold too much internal moisture to burn clean. We source seasoned oak, hickory, and locust from around Buncombe County that has had time to dry properly in our climate. Burning wood that has not seasoned long enough in our humid air leads to more creosote buildup and less heat output on the coldest nights. Choosing properly dried local hardwood is one of the simplest ways to get more warmth out of every load this winter.

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 I actually need to get through an Asheville winter?

With our frost window stretching from mid October to late April, most Asheville households burning a few nights a week through the season use somewhere between a half cord and a full cord. If your stove is your primary heat source rather than a supplement, plan closer to a full cord or more.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has dried long enough for its moisture content to drop to a level that burns clean and hot, typically six months to a year depending on species. Because our regional humidity slows drying compared to drier climates, wood that is not given enough time can still be too wet inside even if the outside looks gray and cracked.

Answer

What kinds of wood will I get in my delivery?

Expect a mix of local hardwoods common to the Asheville area, mainly oak, hickory, and locust, all known for solid heat output and steady, longer burning coals compared to softer woods.

Answer

Is this firewood actually local, and does that matter?

Yes, all of our firewood is sourced near Asheville rather than trucked in from far away. Keeping firewood local matters because moving wood long distances is one of the main ways invasive pests like the emerald ash borer spread into new forests, so buying and burning close to home helps protect the mountain forests around us.

Answer

How does delivery actually work once I order?

You choose your cord size, schedule a delivery window, and our team drops the wood loose in your driveway. Stacking is not included, so plan to move it to your storage area soon after it arrives, especially before rain.

Answer

How do your cord sizes compare, and what is a full cord exactly?

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, third cord, and half cord options are simply fractions of that same stacked volume, so you can scale your order to match how much wood storage space or heating need you actually have.

Answer

Are there any local rules about burning I should know about?

Buncombe County occasionally issues air quality advisories during winter temperature inversions, when smoke can settle in the valley instead of dispersing. On those days it is worth checking local air quality notices and easing up on burning until conditions clear, which is another reason seasoned wood that burns cleaner matters here.
