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 Columbus homes, a quarter to half cord covers a typical winter of occasional fires, while a full cord suits households that burn wood most nights through the November to March cold season.

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 your property for winter, pair your firewood order with mulch or soil from our Columbus, GA regional page to protect beds from the season's clay heavy, moisture prone ground.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your wood off the ground on a pallet or rack so Columbus's humid air and clay soil do not wick moisture back up into the pile. Leave gaps between rows for airflow and cover only the top with a tarp, keeping the sides open so trapped humidity can escape. A pile sealed too tightly in our damp climate can start reabsorbing moisture within weeks, undoing the seasoning work already done.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Oak and hickory from around Columbus burn slow and hot, making them great for overnight fires on the coldest nights of our short season, while sweetgum lights faster and works well for getting a fire going before adding denser wood. If you are unsure whether a piece is truly ready to burn, look for grayed ends and listen for a hollow crack when two pieces are knocked together rather than a dull thud.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Because our cold season is short but can turn damp and chilly fast after the November 10 frost date, order your firewood a few weeks ahead rather than waiting for the first cold snap. Early ordering also gives you time to get wood properly stacked and airing out before you need it, instead of burning wood straight off the truck on a night when you really need the heat.

Wood Heat in Columbus

Columbus winters are short but damp, with the first frost typically arriving around November 10 and the last frost lingering into late March, so most households only need a real fire on the coldest nights of the season. That short burning window makes wood quality matter even more, because green or half seasoned wood struggles to catch and throws off more smoke in our humid, clay soaked air. Our firewood is cut and dried well ahead of delivery so it lights fast and burns hot even when the outside humidity is working against you. Local hardwoods like oak, hickory, and sweetgum are common in Columbus woodlots and each brings its own burn character to a fireplace or fire pit. Because our low elevation around 250 feet keeps air fairly still and moisture heavy, properly seasoned wood is the difference between a cozy evening and a smoky, frustrating 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 Columbus winter

Because our frost window runs roughly from November 10 to March 20, most Columbus households burning a few nights a week get by comfortably on a quarter to half cord for the season, while daily burners or those heating a whole room with wood often go through a full cord.

Answer

What does seasoned firewood mean and why does it matter here

Seasoned means the wood has been dried down to a low moisture content instead of being cut and sold green, and in a humid area like Columbus that distinction matters a lot because unseasoned wood fights the local humidity and produces more smoke, less heat, and more creosote buildup in your chimney.

Answer

What kind of wood will I actually get delivered

Expect a mix of hardwoods common to the Columbus area such as oak, hickory, and sweetgum, all sourced locally rather than shipped in from far away.

Answer

Is your firewood really local, and does that matter

Yes, we source near Columbus, and buying local firewood is important because moving wood long distances is one of the main ways invasive pests like the emerald ash borer spread into new areas, so keeping wood close to where it will be burned protects the local tree canopy.

Answer

How does delivery actually work once I order

We deliver your chosen amount loose to your driveway, you pick a date that works for you, and stacking is left to you since it is not included in the delivery.

Answer

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

A full cord is 128 cubic feet stacked, 4 feet high by 4 feet deep by 8 feet long, and our quarter, third, and half cord options are simply fractional portions of that same stacked volume, giving you flexibility depending on how much storage space and burning you plan to do this winter.

Answer

Are there any local rules I should know about before burning wood at home

Columbus does not typically issue the kind of frequent air quality burn bans seen in larger metro areas, but it is still smart to check for any local air quality advisory on especially still, humid days before lighting an outdoor fire, since our low elevation can trap smoke close to the ground.
