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.

Easy to order, great service, and great product. We enjoy the final look of a very neglected beds we inherited!

For Charleston's shorter frost window, a quarter to a half cord covers occasional use, while a full cord suits homes that lean on wood heat most nights from late November through early March.

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 the yard for winter, pair your firewood delivery with a load of mulch or soil from our Charleston regional page to protect beds through the frost window and set them up for our long spring growing season.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your wood off the ground on a pallet or rack so Charleston's humid air and sandy soil moisture do not wick up into the bottom rows. Leave gaps between rows for airflow, and if you can position the stack in a spot that catches afternoon sun, it will help shed the coastal dampness that otherwise keeps wood from staying properly seasoned once it is on your property.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Live oak and hickory both throw good heat and long coal beds, so use them for overnight burns during Charleston's harder frost nights. Save a lighter wood mix for quick evening fires, and always check a split log's end grain for cracking and a hollow knock sound, both signs it is truly seasoned and ready to burn clean.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your wood well before the first frost date around November 30, since local seasoned hardwood supply tightens up once the first cold snap hits Charleston and everyone remembers their fireplace at once. Buying early also gives your stack time to settle and finish drying in your own storage spot before you actually need it.

Wood Heat in Charleston

Charleston winters are short but damp, with a frost window running roughly from November 30 to March 10, so most households only need a handful of cold snaps and a working fireplace or insert to stay comfortable. Our coastal humidity means unseasoned wood struggles to dry out once it hits your rack, which is why we only deliver hardwood that has already been seasoned down to a safe burn moisture before it reaches your driveway. Local species like live oak, water oak, and hickory are dense and burn long and hot, which suits Charleston's pattern of occasional hard freezes between milder stretches. Because our sandy loam soils and salt air create a humid microclimate, wood that looks dry on the outside can still be wet inside, so proper seasoning time matters more here than in drier climates. Buying wood that was actually cut and dried near Charleston, rather than trucked in from far away, means it is ready to burn on delivery instead of smoldering and smoking in your fireplace. It also keeps you burning wood suited to our zone 8b growing conditions instead of species that were never meant for our short, humid winters.

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 Charleston home need for winter?

Most Charleston households burning a few nights a week from late November through early March get by on a quarter to a half cord, since our frost window is short compared to colder regions. If you run your fireplace or insert nightly through the season, a full cord is a safer bet so you are not reordering mid winter.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has been dried down to a low enough moisture content to burn cleanly instead of hissing, smoking, and creating creosote buildup. In Charleston's humid air, green wood takes much longer to dry on its own than it would in a drier inland climate, so starting with wood that is already seasoned saves you a season of frustration and chimney buildup.

Answer

What kind of wood will I actually get?

Expect a mix of local hardwoods like live oak, water oak, and hickory, all sourced near Charleston and split to a size that fits standard fireplaces and inserts. These species hold coals well and burn hot, which suits the cooler snaps we get between milder winter stretches.

Answer

Is this wood actually local, and does that matter?

Yes, all of our firewood is sourced near Charleston rather than trucked in from other regions. Moving firewood long distances is one of the main ways pests like the emerald ash borer spread into new areas, so buying and burning local protects the trees in your own neighborhood.

Answer

How does delivery work if I am not home?

We deliver the wood loose to your driveway on the scheduled date, so you do not need to be present as long as we have clear access to drop the load. Stacking is not included, so plan to move it to your storage spot within a day or two, especially with Charleston's humidity in play.

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 your fireplace actually burns through the season.

Answer

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

Charleston does not run a widespread wood burning ban, but on especially still, humid days it is worth checking local air quality guidance before a long burn, since smoke can linger close to the ground in our coastal air. Keeping your wood properly seasoned also cuts down on the smoke you produce in the first place.
