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.

Ordered Dirt. Received Dirt. Would Buy Again.

For a typical Columbia heating season stretching from late October to late April, plan on a half cord for light use and closer to a full cord if you burn most nights.

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.

Complete Your Outdoor Project

While you are prepping for winter, check out our mulch and soil options for fall bed cleanup or stone for pathways, all sourced with Columbia's clay soil and climate in mind.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your wood off the ground on pallets or rails so Middle Tennessee humidity and clay soil moisture do not wick up into the bottom rows. Leave gaps between rows for airflow and angle the top of your stack or cover it loosely so rain sheds off without trapping moisture underneath, since a tightly tarped pile can actually hold in dampness during our wetter months.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Local oak takes longer to season and burns slower and hotter, making it ideal for overnight coals during Columbia's coldest snaps after our late October frost. Hickory lights faster and works well for building an initial fire before adding oak splits. Ash burns cleanly even when slightly less dry, useful for shoulder season nights early or late in our long heating window.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order before the first hard frost hits around late October, since demand climbs fast once Columbia nights turn cold and well seasoned wood can run short. Buying early also gives any slightly less dry splits extra weeks to finish drying in your stack before you need them, which matters given how our humidity slows the seasoning process compared to drier climates.

Wood Heat in Columbia

Columbia sits in growing zone 7b with a heating season that typically runs from late October through late April, bracketed by our average first frost on October 28 and last frost around April 22. That is a long stretch of chilly, humid Middle Tennessee nights when a woodstove or fireplace insert gets real use. Our clay soil and heavy regional humidity mean green wood cut nearby takes months longer to dry than folks expect, which is why seasoned hardwood matters so much here. Local oak, hickory, and ash are common in Maury County woodlots and burn long and hot once properly dried. Wood that has not seasoned enough will hiss, smoke, and leave creosote in your flue instead of throwing real heat during our coldest stretches.

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 Columbia winter actually require?

Most Columbia households burning a few nights a week from late October through April go through half a cord to a full cord, while daily burners often need a cord and a half. Our winters are long enough that a quarter cord rarely lasts more than a few cold snaps.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has dried enough that moisture content drops well below fresh cut green wood, usually six months to a year depending on species. In our humid Middle Tennessee air, unseasoned wood struggles to dry on its own and burns dirty, so we deliver wood that is already split and ready to burn.

Answer

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

Expect a mix of local hardwoods common to Maury County lots, mainly oak and hickory with some ash mixed in. These species are dense, season well, and put out strong steady heat through our coldest nights.

Answer

Is this firewood actually local, and does that matter?

Yes, our wood is sourced near Columbia rather than trucked in from far away. Firewood should always be bought close to where it is burned because hauling it long distances is a known way invasive pests like the emerald ash borer spread into new areas.

Answer

How does firewood delivery to my driveway work?

You choose your cord size, we schedule a delivery date, and our truck drops the wood loose in your driveway. Stacking is not included, so plan on moving it to your woodpile yourself or with help.

Answer

What is a rick of firewood and how does it compare to your cord sizes?

Around Columbia, a rick usually refers to a stack 4 feet high by 8 feet long but only as deep as the log length, often close to our 1/3 cord in volume. We sell by the 1/4, 1/3, 1/2, and full cord rather than by rick, so ask us how your usual rick order compares if you are used to that term.

Answer

What exactly is a full cord and how do the 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. Our 1/2 cord is half that volume, our 1/3 cord is a third, and our 1/4 cord is a quarter, so you can scale your order to match how much you actually burn in a Columbia winter.
