Ordered Dirt. Received Dirt. Would Buy Again.

For a typical Champaign heating season running October through April, most homeowners do well ordering a half cord for supplemental burning or a full cord if firewood is a primary heat source.

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 firewood off the ground on pallets or rails so Champaign's humid soil and winter snowmelt cannot wick moisture back into the wood. Leave the top loosely covered but the sides open to airflow, since fully tarping a stack traps humidity and undoes your seasoning. A stack against a south facing wall dries fastest and stays most accessible once snow piles up in your yard.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Local oak and hickory burn longest and hottest, making them ideal for overnight fires during Champaign's coldest stretches, while ash lights quicker and works well for getting a fire started. Test moisture by knocking two split pieces together, well seasoned wood produces a sharp crack rather than a dull thud, a quick way to check quality before you build a fire.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your firewood well before the first frost around October 19, since demand climbs fast once temperatures drop and local seasoned supply tightens. Buying early also gives freshly split wood extra weeks to finish drying in your own storage setup before you need it for those first cold nights of the season.

Wood Heat in Champaign

Champaign winters run long, with a frost window stretching from mid October to mid April, which means most households are burning through a solid five to six months of cold weather. In a climate with this much humidity and cold snap variability, unseasoned or green wood simply will not throw the heat you need, and it smokes more and gums up flues faster. Our seasoned hardwood is dried down to the low moisture content that Champaign homes require for efficient burning and cleaner chimneys. We work with local species like oak, hickory, and ash that grow across central Illinois, all of which season well in our silty clay loam region climate. Buying wood that has already gone through a proper seasoning cycle here in east central Illinois means it lights faster, burns hotter, and produces less creosote buildup over our long heating season.

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 a Champaign winter?

Most Champaign households burning a few nights a week from late October through mid April use somewhere between one half cord and a full cord. If wood heat is your primary source through our full frost window, plan closer to two full cords, since our heating season here regularly runs five to six months.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has been split and dried for months until its internal moisture content drops low enough to burn cleanly. In our humid central Illinois climate, unseasoned wood holds onto moisture longer, so buying wood that is already properly seasoned saves you from smoky, low heat fires during our coldest months.

Answer

What kinds of wood will I actually get?

Expect a mix of hardwoods common to east central Illinois, mainly oak, hickory, and ash, all of which are dense, long burning species well suited to heating through our long winter.

Answer

Why does it matter that your firewood is sourced locally?

We source our firewood near Champaign rather than trucking it in from far away. Moving firewood long distances is one of the main ways invasive pests like the emerald ash borer spread from one region to another, so keeping our supply local protects the trees around your own neighborhood.

Answer

How does delivery actually work?

You choose a cord size, we schedule a delivery date, and our truck drops the wood loose in your driveway. Stacking is not included, so plan on having space and time to move it once it arrives.

Answer

What is the difference between a quarter cord, a half cord, and a full cord?

A full cord is 128 cubic feet, stacked 4 feet high by 4 feet deep by 8 feet long. Our quarter cord is one fourth of that volume, our third cord is one third, and our half cord is exactly half, so you can scale your order to match how much wood storage space you have and how much heat you need this season.

Answer

Are there any local burn rules I should know about in Champaign?

Champaign Urbana occasionally issues air quality advisories during periods of stagnant winter air, so it is worth checking local notices before burning on those days, and always avoiding burning wet or green wood that produces excess smoke.
