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.

For most Chillicothe homes, one to two full cords covers a standard heating season, while primary wood heat users should plan on three to four cords to make it comfortably from first frost to last frost.

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.

Areas we deliver firewood in Chillicothe, Ohio

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your firewood off the ground on pallets or rails so air can circulate underneath, and keep the top covered but the sides open to airflow. Chillicothe's humid summers and wet spring snowmelt can wick moisture back into a woodpile that sits directly on soil, undoing months of seasoning. A simple lean to roof or tarp angled to shed rain works better than fully wrapping the stack.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Oak and hickory take longer to catch but throw steady heat for hours, making them ideal for loading up before bed on a cold night. Maple and ash catch quickly and are better for daytime fires you will tend more closely. Splitting a few pieces smaller than the rest gives you quick kindling without needing separate fire starter wood.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your firewood in late summer or early fall, well before that mid October first frost arrives, since demand climbs fast once temperatures drop and driveways get busy with delivery trucks. Ordering early also gives you time to stack and organize the load before winter weather makes driveway work uncomfortable.

Wood Heat in Chillicothe

Chillicothe winters run from that mid October first frost clear through mid April, which means a long stretch of nights where a woodstove or fireplace insert gets real daily use. Our region's humid summers and shaded river valley conditions slow down natural drying, so wood cut and split this spring is not truly ready to burn well into next fall. That is why we only deliver hardwood that has been seasoned down to a safe moisture range before it reaches your driveway. Local species like white oak, hickory, hard maple, and ash make up most of what we source, and each brings different heat output and burn time to the firebox. Burning wood that has not seasoned properly in our silt loam soil region leads to more creosote buildup, smokier chimneys, and weaker heat when you need it most.

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 Chillicothe winter?

Most households burning a woodstove several nights a week from mid October through mid April go through two to three full cords in a typical season. If you only burn on weekends or for supplemental heat, a half cord to one cord is often enough. Homes using wood as a primary heat source in our area sometimes need three to four cords, especially during colder stretches.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has dried down to a moisture content low enough to burn cleanly, usually under 20 percent. In our humid Ohio River valley air, green wood can take a full year or more to reach that point on its own. Burning our pre seasoned wood means less smoke, less creosote in your chimney, and a hotter, more efficient fire from the first load.

Answer

What kinds of wood will I get in my delivery?

Expect a mix of hardwoods common to the Chillicothe area, primarily white oak, hickory, hard maple, and ash. Oak and hickory burn longer and hotter, making them great for overnight burns, while maple and ash light easily and are good for building a quick fire.

Answer

Is this firewood actually local, and does that matter?

Yes, all our firewood is sourced near Chillicothe rather than trucked in from far away. Keeping firewood local matters because moving wood long distances is one of the main ways invasive pests like the emerald ash borer spread into new areas. Buying and burning local protects the hardwood stands right here in Ross County.

Answer

How does delivery to my house actually work?

After you choose a cord size, we schedule a delivery date and drop your wood loose directly onto your driveway. We do not stack it for you, so plan for some time to move and stack the load once it arrives, especially if you want it under cover before winter weather sets in.

Answer

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

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 is one fourth of that volume, our third cord is one third, and our half cord is exactly half, giving you flexible options depending on how much storage space and heating need you have.

Answer

Are there any local rules about burning wood outdoors or in my fireplace?

Ross County residents should check current Ohio EPA air quality guidance during winter inversion periods, since stagnant cold air can trap smoke closer to the ground on certain days. Keeping your wood well seasoned and your stove burning cleanly helps reduce smoke output regardless of daily air conditions.
