About this firewood

A quarter cord of seasoned hardwood, 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 a typical Charlotte household burning several nights a week through the winter, a half cord to full cord usually covers the season comfortably.

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. Smaller sizes are the same stack at a quarter, half, or three quarters of that volume.

Complete Your Outdoor Project

While you are prepping the yard for winter, pair your firewood order with a load of mulch to insulate root systems against Charlotte's clay soil freeze thaw cycles, or add landscape stone around your wood storage area to keep it off damp ground.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Charlotte's humidity means firewood left on bare ground stays damp longer and can start reabsorbing moisture even after seasoning. Stack your wood on a pallet or rack a few inches off the soil, and keep the top covered with a tarp while leaving the sides open for airflow. This keeps clay soil moisture from wicking upward and helps your seasoned wood stay dry through our wetter winter stretches.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Oak and hickory, the backbone of most Charlotte firewood deliveries, take longer to catch than softer woods but reward you with steady, long lasting coals. Start your fire with smaller kindling pieces and let the bed of coals build before adding a full split log. A quick moisture meter check, aiming for under 20 percent, will confirm your wood is ready to burn efficiently.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your firewood in early fall, well before the first frost typically hits Charlotte around November 10. Demand climbs fast once temperatures drop, and ordering early ensures you get properly seasoned wood rather than a rushed batch. It also gives you time to stack and organize your supply before the coldest nights arrive.

Wood Heat in Charlotte

Charlotte winters run from around the first frost near November 10 through the last frost in early April, which means most households burn wood steadily for four to five months. That stretch is long enough that green or half seasoned wood becomes a real problem, since unseasoned logs sputter, smoke heavily, and coat chimneys with creosote instead of throwing real heat. Our wood is sourced from local hardwoods like oak, hickory, and ash, species that are common across the Piedmont and known for dense, long burning coals. Charlotte's humid subtropical climate means wood needs proper seasoning time before it drops below the 20 percent moisture mark that makes for a clean, efficient fire. Buying wood that has already been split and seasoned for our clay heavy, humid region saves you a season of waiting and guessing.

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

Answer

How much firewood do I actually need to get through a Charlotte winter?

Most Charlotte homes using a fireplace a few nights a week from November through March burn through a quarter to half cord. Homes relying on a wood stove as a primary heat source through our roughly five month cool season often go through a full cord or more.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has dried enough to burn clean and hot, typically under 20 percent moisture. In Charlotte's humid climate, green wood can take six months to a year to season properly outdoors, so buying pre seasoned wood skips that wait and keeps your chimney safer.

Answer

What kinds of wood will I get with a Charlotte delivery?

Expect a mix of local hardwoods like oak, hickory, and ash, all common species in the Piedmont region around Charlotte. These woods burn dense and slow, giving you longer lasting coals than softer woods like pine.

Answer

Is this firewood actually local, and does that matter?

Yes, our wood is sourced near Charlotte rather than trucked in from out of state. Keeping firewood local helps prevent the spread of invasive pests like the emerald ash borer, which has already impacted ash trees across North Carolina.

Answer

How does delivery to my driveway actually work?

We schedule a delivery window, then dump your order loose directly onto your driveway. Stacking is not included, so plan on moving it to your storage spot within a few days, especially if rain is in the forecast.

Answer

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

A full cord is a stack measuring 4 feet high by 4 feet deep by 8 feet long, or 128 cubic feet. Some folks in this region also use the term rick or face cord for a smaller stack, but our quarter, half, and three quarter cord options are precisely measured fractions of that full 128 cubic foot cord, so you always know exactly what you are getting.

Answer

Are there any local rules about burning wood in Charlotte?

Mecklenburg County occasionally issues air quality advisories during winter inversions, particularly on cold, still nights when smoke can linger low over neighborhoods. On advisory days, it is worth limiting fires to what you need for warmth rather than recreational burning.
