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 Charleston households, one to two cords covers a typical winter of regular evening fires, while full time wood heat through our mid October to late April season usually calls for two to three cords.

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 your wood off the ground on pallets or rails so valley humidity and snowmelt do not wick moisture back into the bottom rows. Leave the top loosely covered but the sides open to airflow, since fully wrapping a stack in this climate traps moisture and slows seasoning instead of protecting it.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Oak and hickory from around Charleston burn long and hot but take longer to catch, so start fires with smaller locust splits or kindling before adding your denser pieces. A quick moisture check, wood should sound sharp and hollow when knocked together rather than dull and thuddy, tells you it is ready to burn.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your cords well before the mid October frost line arrives, since properly seasoned wood needs lead time and demand climbs fast once temperatures drop in the valley. Buying early also means better selection of species and sizes before local supply tightens up through the coldest months.

Wood Heat in Charleston

Charleston sits in the Kanawha Valley where humid summers and a heating season stretching from mid October frost to late April keep woodstoves and fireplaces working hard for months. Green or half seasoned wood struggles to burn clean in this valley humidity, producing more creosote and smoke instead of steady heat. Our wood is seasoned well past cutting, with moisture driven out so it lights faster and burns hotter through long West Virginia nights. Local hardwoods like oak, hickory, and locust are common in this region and are prized for dense, long lasting coals. Sourcing wood from around Charleston also means it has already adjusted to our regional humidity rather than arriving from a drier climate and cracking unpredictably in your rack.

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 winter actually use?

With our frost window running from mid October to late April, most homes burning a woodstove several nights a week go through one to two full cords across the season, while homes using wood as a primary heat source in the Kanawha Valley's colder months often need two to three cords.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has dried down to a low moisture content after splitting, which matters in our humid valley climate because unseasoned wood can smolder, throw more smoke, and build up creosote faster in local chimneys.

Answer

What kinds of wood will I actually get?

Expect a mix of hardwoods common to the hills around Charleston, including oak, hickory, and locust, all known for dense burns and long coal life through cold nights.

Answer

Is this firewood really local, and does that matter?

Yes, our firewood is sourced near Charleston rather than trucked in from far away, because moving firewood long distances is one of the main ways pests like the emerald ash borer spread into new forests.

Answer

How does delivery to my driveway work?

You choose your cord size and a delivery date, and our truck brings the load to your driveway loose, not stacked, so plan for some time to move and stack it yourself.

Answer

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

A full cord is 128 cubic feet of stacked wood, measuring 4 feet high by 4 feet deep by 8 feet long, and our quarter, third, and half cord options are simply fractions of that same stacked volume for smaller storage areas or lighter burners.

Answer

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

Kanawha County occasionally issues air quality advisories during winter inversion events in the valley, so it is worth checking local notices on high pollution days and avoiding smoky, poorly seasoned wood that adds unnecessary particulate to the air.
