Website is easy to navigate. Just a seamless process. 5 stars!!

For a typical central Ohio heating season running roughly October through April, most households do well with a half cord to a full cord depending on burn frequency.

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. Smaller sizes are the same stack at a quarter, half, or three quarters of that volume.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your wood off the ground on pallets or rails so Columbus's spring thaw and summer humidity do not wick moisture back into the 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 moisture and can undo a season of proper seasoning faster than you would expect in our climate.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Oak and hickory take longer to catch than maple but hold coals and heat far longer once going, so pair a maple or ash piece as kindling support with an oak split for the long burn. If a piece hisses or sizzles at the cut ends when lit, it likely needs more drying time before it belongs in your main woodpile.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your firewood in late summer or early fall, well before the October frost date, so it has time to sit near your house and finish acclimating before nightly burns start. Waiting until the first cold snap often means scrambling for delivery slots right when everyone else in central Ohio has the same idea.

Wood Heat in Columbus

Columbus winters run long by Ohio standards, with a first frost around October 10 and a last frost near May 1, meaning wood stoves and fireplaces often see real use for five months or more. That kind of heating season punishes green or half dried wood, which smolders, throws less heat, and cakes creosote in chimneys faster during our humid Ohio River Valley air masses. Locally seasoned hardwood, split and dried through a summer here in central Ohio, burns hotter and cleaner because the excess moisture has already been driven out before it ever reaches your rack. Species common to the Columbus area like red oak, hickory, and hard maple hold heat well once properly seasoned, but only if they have had adequate time to dry in our climate. Buying wood that has already acclimated to Franklin County humidity means fewer smoky nights and less maintenance on your flue. It also means the wood is ready to burn the day it lands in your driveway instead of months from now.

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?

A household burning several nights a week from October through April, our typical central Ohio heating season, often goes through a half cord to a full cord depending on how much the wood stove or fireplace supplements the furnace. Occasional weekend fire pit or fireplace use usually only needs a quarter to half cord.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has dried enough, usually six months to a year after splitting, that its moisture content is low enough to burn efficiently. In Columbus's humid summers, wood that is not properly seasoned stays damp longer and burns cooler and smokier, which matters a lot once temperatures drop below freezing for weeks at a stretch.

Answer

What kinds of wood will I actually get?

Expect a mix of hardwoods common to the Columbus region, mainly oak, hickory, and maple, all sourced from local woodlots. These species are dense and burn long and hot once seasoned, which suits central Ohio's extended cold stretches better than softer woods.

Answer

Is this wood really local, and does that matter?

Yes, our firewood is sourced from woodlots near Columbus rather than trucked in from out of state. Buying local matters because it prevents the spread of pests like the emerald ash borer, which has already devastated ash trees across Ohio, and moving infested wood long distances is one of the main ways these pests travel.

Answer

How does delivery to my driveway actually work?

We schedule a delivery window, then drop the wood loose at the edge of your driveway. Stacking is not included, so plan on having help or a few hours set aside to move and stack it once it arrives.

Answer

What is the difference between a rick and the cord sizes you sell?

Some folks in southern Ohio and across the river in Kentucky use the term rick or face cord for a stack that is 4 feet high by 8 feet long but only as deep as the log length, often around 16 to 18 inches. That generally lines up close to our quarter cord, so if you are used to buying by the rick, our quarter or half cord sizes are the closest match.

Answer

Are there any local rules about burning wood in Columbus?

Franklin County occasionally issues air quality advisories during winter inversion events, and on those days it is worth limiting unnecessary outdoor burning and making sure indoor fires are burning hot and clean rather than smoldering. Seasoned wood produces far less smoke than green wood, which helps keep your fires within good practice on those advisory days.
