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).

Occasional fireplace use through an Auburn winter usually calls for a quarter to a half cord, while regular wood stove heating through the full season often requires a full cord.

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.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack firewood off the ground on a pallet or rack to keep it away from Auburn's red clay soil, which holds moisture and can wick dampness into the bottom layers. Leave gaps between rows for airflow and cover just the top of the stack, since fully wrapping it traps humidity underneath. A stack exposed to breeze on at least one side will season and stay dry far better through our wetter winter stretches.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Oak and hickory take a bit longer to catch than sweetgum but burn hotter and longer once going, so use sweetgum or smaller split pieces as kindling to get oak logs started. A simple moisture test is to knock two pieces together, well seasoned wood gives a sharp crack while green wood sounds dull. Splitting a piece open to check the color and dryness inside is even more reliable.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your firewood in early fall, well before Auburn's first frost around November 15, since seasoned wood supply tightens up once temperatures start dropping. Buying early also gives any slightly less dry pieces extra weeks to finish seasoning in your own stack before you need them for a cold snap.

Wood Heat in Auburn

Auburn's heating season runs roughly from mid November through late March, a stretch of cool nights and humid air that makes wood choice matter more than people expect. Our region's mix of red oak, white oak, hickory and sweetgum burns best when it has been split and dried for months, not weeks, because Alabama humidity slows the seasoning process compared to drier climates. Green or under seasoned wood in this kind of air holds moisture inside the rings even when the surface looks dry, leading to smoky, low heat fires and heavier creosote buildup in the chimney. Seasoned hardwood cut and split ahead of our first frost date gives Auburn homeowners a cleaner burning, longer lasting fire through the coldest months. Buying wood that was already growing near Auburn also means it dried in the same humidity it will be burned in, so it performs the way it is supposed to.

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 does a typical Auburn winter actually take?

Most Auburn homeowners who use a fireplace a few nights a week from mid November through late March go through about a half cord to a full cord in a season. If wood heat is your primary source of warmth, plan closer to a full cord or more, since our winters, while shorter than northern states, still bring a steady run of cold, damp nights that call for regular fires.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has been split and air dried long enough, usually six months to a year, for the internal moisture to drop to a burnable level. In Auburn's humid climate this process takes longer than it would in a drier region, so wood that looks dry on the outside can still be wet inside if it was cut too recently. Our seasoned hardwood is dried enough to light easily and burn hot with far less smoke and creosote than green wood.

Answer

What kinds of wood will I get with a delivery in Auburn?

Expect a mix of hardwoods common to this part of Alabama, mainly oak, hickory and sweetgum, all sourced from local sources near Auburn. These species are dense enough to burn long and hot once properly seasoned, making them well suited to the cool, humid nights of an East Alabama winter.

Answer

Why does it matter that the firewood is sourced locally near Auburn?

Firewood should always be bought near where it will be burned because hauling wood long distances can spread invasive pests like the emerald ash borer into new areas. Sourcing locally near Auburn keeps our regional hardwood forests healthier and also means the wood has already adjusted to our climate before it reaches your driveway.

Answer

How does delivery actually work, do you stack it for me?

We deliver your order loose to the driveway rather than stacked, which keeps costs down and delivery times faster. From there it is up to you to move it to your storage spot, ideally somewhere with good airflow and a bit of cover from Auburn's occasional winter rain.

Answer

What is a cord, and how do your 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 a quarter of that volume, our third cord and half cord scale up from there, and a full cord is the largest option we offer, giving Auburn households flexibility depending on how much they burn each winter.

Answer

Are there any local rules about burning wood in Auburn?

Auburn does not currently enforce a formal wood burning ban or air quality advisory program like some larger metro areas, but local fire codes still require safe clearance around outdoor burn piles and proper chimney maintenance for indoor fireplaces. Burning well seasoned wood reduces smoke output, which is good practice regardless of formal restrictions.
