About this firewood

A third of a cord of seasoned hardwood, 43 cubic feet, split and ready to burn. A steady size for regular weekend fires once the cold sets in.

Online ordering was really simple and I liked the transparent pricing.

For an average Charlotte heating season running November through early April, most casual users do well with a half cord, while daily burners should plan on a full cord to avoid running out mid winter.

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 firewood off the ground on a pallet or rack and keep it covered on top but open on the sides, since Charlotte's humidity means uncovered wood reseasons slower and fully sealed wood traps moisture underneath. A spot with morning sun and afternoon shade near the house works well, and leaving a few inches between rows helps air move through the stack even during our wetter winter weeks.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Oak burns long and steady, making it ideal for overnight coals, while hickory throws more heat and works well for quick evening fires. Test moisture by knocking two split logs together, dry seasoned wood produces a sharp crack, while a duller thud usually means it needs more time before it burns clean.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your firewood in late summer or early fall, well before the November 10 frost date, since demand and prices climb once the first cold nights arrive. Ordering early also gives any slightly damp wood extra weeks to finish drying out on your property before you actually need to burn it.

Wood Heat in Charlotte

Charlotte winters run from roughly the first frost near November 10 through the last frost around April 1, giving homeowners a solid five month stretch where a wood stove or fireplace gets real use. Our region's clay soils and humid air mean freshly cut wood holds moisture much longer here than in drier climates, so a log that looks split and stacked can still be far from ready to burn cleanly. We season our hardwood, mostly oak and hickory with some ash and poplar mixed in, for months before delivery so it burns hot instead of smoldering and smoking up your chimney. Piedmont humidity also invites mold and pests into unseasoned piles fast, which is another reason we do not rush the process. Buying wood that has already dropped its moisture content means less creosote buildup during our long, damp Charlotte 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 does a typical Charlotte winter actually require?

Most Charlotte homeowners who burn a few nights a week from November through March go through about a half cord to a full cord in a season. If your fireplace is more of an occasional weekend feature rather than a main heat source, a quarter or third cord usually covers you comfortably given our relatively mild Zone 8a winters.

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 being cut and split, usually six months or more. In Charlotte's humid climate, unseasoned wood holds onto moisture longer than it would in a drier region, so burning green wood here means more smoke, less heat, and faster creosote buildup in your chimney.

Answer

What kind of wood will I actually get delivered?

Expect a mix dominated by oak and hickory, both classic Piedmont hardwoods known for long, hot burns, with some ash and poplar in the mix depending on availability. These species are common throughout the Charlotte area and split and season reliably in our clay soil growing conditions.

Answer

Why does it matter that the firewood is sourced locally near Charlotte?

Firewood should always be bought near where it is burned because hauling it long distances can spread invasive pests like the emerald ash borer into new areas. All of our wood is sourced from within the Charlotte region, which keeps it fresh and helps protect local trees from pests that hitch rides in transported logs.

Answer

How does delivery to my Charlotte driveway actually work?

Once you pick a cord size and schedule a date, our truck delivers the wood loose directly to your driveway. Stacking is not included, so plan on moving it to your storage spot yourself or with help soon after drop off, especially before Charlotte's damp winter weather sets in.

Answer

How do the cord sizes compare, and what is a full cord exactly?

A full cord is 128 cubic feet stacked, measuring 4 feet high by 4 feet deep by 8 feet long. Our quarter cord is about a quarter of that volume, the third cord about a third, and the half cord half of a full cord, so you can scale your order to your fireplace use and storage space without overbuying.

Answer

Are there any local rules about burning firewood in Charlotte?

Mecklenburg County occasionally issues air quality advisories on especially still or high pollution days, during which outdoor and open burning is discouraged. Indoor wood stove and fireplace use is generally unaffected, but it is worth checking local air quality alerts on cold, stagnant winter days before loading up the stove.
