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.

We had a great experience with mulch mound! Our mulch arrived when we requested. The delivery fee was so reasonable. We’ll use them again for sure!

For most Cincinnati homes using a fireplace a few times a week, a half cord covers the season, while households heating primarily with a wood stove should plan on a full cord to get from the October frost through April.

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.

First time going with this company for mulch and it was an efficient process from start to finish. Website was easy—I told them exactly where I wanted the mulch put on my driveway, and it was delivered perfectly when I got home from work the next day. Best deal around when I compared it to competitors and I will definitely be becoming back.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your wood off the ground on pallets or a rack, since Cincinnati's humid summers and wet springs keep soil moisture high enough to wick into logs sitting directly on dirt. Cover just the top of the stack with a tarp, leaving the sides open so air can keep moving through the pile. Full sun or a breezy spot near the garage works better than a shaded corner where dampness lingers longer into fall.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Before loading the stove, do a quick moisture check by knocking two split logs together. Well seasoned oak or hickory should sound like a sharp crack rather than a dull thud, and cut ends should look grayish and slightly cracked rather than fresh and pale. Starting fires with smaller kindling pieces first helps hardwood splits catch faster on cold Cincinnati nights.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your cord before the first frost usually hits around October 15, since demand climbs fast once temperatures drop and delivery slots fill up through November. Buying early also gives freshly split wood a few extra weeks to finish drying in your own stack before the coldest part of the Cincinnati winter arrives in January.

Wood Heat in Cincinnati

Cincinnati winters run cold and damp from mid October through late April, meaning most homes here rely on six or more months of heating season, and wood stoves and fireplaces need to hold up to that stretch. Our seasoned hardwood is dried well below the moisture content of green wood cut on the same lot, so it lights faster and burns hotter even during Ohio Valley's humid stretches that slow natural drying. Local favorites like oak, hickory, and hard maple make up most of our mix, all species that grow well in zone 6b and hold heat through long January nights. Because Cincinnati's silt loam soils and river valley humidity keep freshly split wood from drying out on its own in just a few weeks, buying wood that has already been seasoned properly saves homeowners from smoky, inefficient fires. Green wood popping and smoldering in a firebox is a common complaint we hear from new customers who switched from a big box store bundle, and seasoned cordwood solves that from delivery day one.

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 Cincinnati winter?

If you burn a few nights a week as a supplemental heat source, a half cord usually gets a Cincinnati household through the season from October to April. If your wood stove is a primary heat source, plan on a full cord or more, since our frost free window here runs only from about April 20 to October 15, leaving a long stretch of cold nights to fill.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has been split and dried down to a safe burning moisture level, typically under 20 percent, instead of being sold fresh cut and green. In our humid Ohio Valley climate, green wood can take the better part of a year to dry on its own, so buying pre seasoned wood means you are not stuck burning smoky, hissing logs mid winter.

Answer

What kinds of wood will I actually get delivered?

Expect a mix dominated by oak, hickory, and hard maple, all species common to southwest Ohio woodlots and known for dense, long burning coals. These hardwoods hold up well through Cincinnati's long heating season compared to softer, faster burning woods.

Answer

Is this firewood actually local, and does that matter?

Yes, all our firewood is sourced near Cincinnati rather than trucked in from out of state. Keeping firewood local matters because moving wood long distances is one of the main ways pests like the emerald ash borer spread into new forests, and southwest Ohio has already seen serious ash tree losses from it.

Answer

How does delivery actually work once I order?

You choose your cord size and a delivery date, and our truck drops the wood loose in your driveway on the scheduled day. We do not stack it, so plan on having gloves and a wheelbarrow handy to move it to your storage spot.

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 roughly a quarter of that volume, our third cord about a third, and our half cord half the stack, so you can size your order to your stove use and storage space without paying for more wood than you will burn.

Answer

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

The Southwest Ohio Air Quality Agency occasionally issues advisories during winter temperature inversions when smoke tends to settle low over the Cincinnati basin, so it is worth checking local air quality notices on especially still, cold days before loading up the stove for an all night burn.
