For most Birmingham households, a half cord to a full cord covers a typical wood burning season, while homes using wood stoves as a main heat source should plan for a full cord or more.

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.

Placing an order online was so easy. Delivery was on time. When the driver realized we had a newly poured driveway they erred on the side of caution and opted not ti drive in it. The company even sent me a message explaining that call. Would recommend!

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your wood off the ground on pallets or a rack, since Birmingham's clay soil holds moisture that can wick up into the bottom rows and slow drying or cause rot. Leave the top loosely covered but the sides open to airflow, because fully wrapping a stack traps humidity common to our climate and invites mold instead of helping the wood stay dry.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Oak takes longer to catch but burns the longest, so use it for overnight fires during Birmingham's coldest January nights. Hickory lights faster and burns hotter, making it a good choice for getting a fire established before adding oak to hold heat through the evening.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your firewood in early fall before the first frost around November 5, since demand climbs fast once temperatures drop and well seasoned wood becomes harder to find locally. Buying early also gives any slightly less dry splits extra weeks to finish drying out before you actually need them burning hot.

Wood Heat in Birmingham

Birmingham winters run short but damp, with the real burn season stretching from around the first frost near November 5 through late March. That humidity, common to Zone 7b, means wood that looks dry on the outside can still be holding moisture inside, so proper seasoning matters more here than in drier climates. Our firewood is seasoned hardwood sourced from species common to Jefferson County woodlots, including oak, hickory, and ash, which burn hot and steady once fully dried. Because our clay soil holds ground moisture, freshly split wood stacked directly on the ground seasons slower here than in sandier regions, which is why we season before delivery rather than after. Buying wood that has already gone through a proper Alabama seasoning cycle means fewer smoky, hissing fires and more heat per load during our cold snaps.

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 Birmingham house need for the winter?

Most Birmingham homes that use a fireplace a few nights a week through the season get by on a half cord to a full cord, since our stretch of cold weather from early November to late March is shorter than northern climates. Homes relying on a wood stove as a primary heat source often go through a full cord to a cord and a half.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has dried enough that its moisture content has dropped to a burnable range, usually taking six months to a year outdoors. In Birmingham's humid climate, green or under seasoned wood can smolder, smoke up your chimney, and leave creosote buildup, so we only deliver wood that has already gone through that drying process.

Answer

What kind of wood will I actually get delivered?

Expect a mix of local hardwoods like oak, hickory, and ash, all common species harvested from around the Birmingham area. Oak and hickory burn long and hot, making them well suited for the coldest nights we get in January and February.

Answer

Is this wood actually local, and why should I care?

Yes, we source all our firewood near Birmingham rather than trucking it in from out of state. Moving firewood long distances is how pests like the emerald ash borer spread into new areas, so keeping wood local protects the hardwood trees already growing in Jefferson County yards and parks.

Answer

How does delivery work, and will you stack it for me?

placeholder

Answer

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

A full cord is a stack measuring 4 feet high by 4 feet deep by 8 feet long, or 128 cubic feet of stacked wood. A quarter cord, half cord, and three quarter cord are simply fractions of that measurement, so you can order based on how much storage space or burning you plan to do this season.

Answer

Are there any local rules about burning wood in Birmingham?

The Jefferson County Department of Health issues air quality advisories on certain high pollution days, sometimes asking residents to limit outdoor burning, so it is worth checking local advisories during stagnant winter air patterns before a big bonfire. Normal indoor fireplace and wood stove use is not typically restricted under these advisories.
