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.

Highest compliments. Great driver.
Website is easy to navigate. Just a seamless process. 5 stars!!

For a typical central Ohio heating season, occasional fireplace users should look at a quarter to half cord, while regular wood stove users often need a full cord to get comfortably through to the last frost in May.

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're prepping for the Columbus heating season, consider pairing your firewood order with mulch or soil from our regional lineup to protect garden beds before the ground freezes.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your firewood off the ground on a pallet or rack, since central Ohio's silt loam soil holds moisture and can wick dampness right into your bottom rows. Leave gaps between rows for airflow and cover just the top with a tarp, keeping the sides open. Fully wrapping the pile traps humidity underneath, which slows seasoning and invites mold during our wetter stretches.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Oak and hickory take longer to catch than ash but burn hotter and longer once going, so start fires with smaller ash splits or kindling before adding denser pieces. A quick moisture test is to knock two splits together, well seasoned wood makes a sharp crack, green wood sounds dull and heavy. This matters more here since humid summers can leave less experienced batches deceptively damp inside.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your firewood before the first frost typically hits around October 10, since demand climbs fast once temperatures drop and popular cord sizes can sell out during the coldest stretches. Buying early also gives freshly split wood extra weeks to finish seasoning in your own stack before you actually need it burning.

Wood Heat in Columbus

Columbus sits in growing zone 6a with a heating season that typically runs from mid October through early May, which means a lot of nights burning wood indoors. Green or half seasoned wood struggles here because central Ohio's humid summers slow down drying, so timing and proper seasoning matter more than in drier climates. Local suppliers typically season hardwood, mostly local oak, hickory, and ash, long enough that moisture content drops before it reaches your driveway, though timing varies by supplier. That matters for a clean burn, less creosote buildup in older Columbus chimneys, and more heat per load. With our first frost landing around October 10 and last frost near May 1, the burning window is long, so having dry wood ready matters from the start of the season, not halfway through it.

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 Columbus winter actually take?

With our heating season stretching from around October 10 to May 1, a household burning several nights a week for supplemental heat usually goes through a half cord to a full cord. If wood is your primary heat source through central Ohio winters, plan on one to two full cords depending on how cold the season runs.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has dried down to a low moisture content instead of being freshly cut. In Columbus's humid summers, wood dries more slowly than in arid climates, so local suppliers usually season it well before delivery. Burning seasoned wood means less smoke, less creosote buildup in your flue, and a hotter, cleaner fire all winter.

Answer

What kind of wood will I actually get?

Expect a mix of local hardwoods common to central Ohio, primarily oak, hickory, and ash, all split and seasoned. These species are dense, burn long, and hold heat well through cold Columbus nights.

Answer

Is this wood really local, and does that matter?

Yes, most suppliers source their firewood from near Columbus rather than trucking it in from far away. Moving firewood long distances is how pests like the emerald ash borer spread between regions, so keeping wood local protects area trees, including the ash that is already under pressure from that same pest.

Answer

How does delivery to my driveway work?

We deliver your order loose to the driveway location you choose. Stacking isn't included, so plan on moving and stacking it yourself, ideally onto a raised rack or pallet to keep it off the damp ground.

Answer

What is a 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 quarter cord is a quarter of that volume, the third cord is about a third, and the half cord is exactly half, so you can scale your order to match how much wood storage space or burning you actually need this season.

Answer

Are there any local rules about burning wood in Columbus?

Columbus and Franklin County occasionally issue air quality advisories on high pollution days, during which outdoor burning is discouraged. It is worth checking local advisories on especially still, cold days, and always burning seasoned wood helps keep smoke output lower regardless.
