Most Council Bluffs households burning a few nights a week should plan on one half to one full cord for the season, while daily wood heat users often need two to three cords to cover the full October through April stretch.

Placing an order online was so easy. Delivery was on time. When the driver realized we had a newly poured driveway they erred on the side of caution and opted not ti drive in it. The company even sent me a message explaining that call. Would recommend!
Great service. We ordered topsoil from Mulch Mound and the best experience. Thank you so much!
While you are planning ahead for winter, consider pairing your firewood order with mulch or soil from our Council Bluffs regional page to protect perennial beds before the ground freezes.
Service area
Stack firewood off the ground on pallets or a rack to keep it away from Council Bluffs's damp silt loam soil, and leave gaps between rows for airflow. Cover just the top of the stack with a tarp rather than wrapping the whole pile, since trapping moisture underneath actually slows drying and can cause mold during our humid spring thaw.
Bur oak and honey locust burn slower and hotter, making them ideal for overnight fires during our coldest January stretches, while hackberry catches faster and works well for quick evening fires. Mixing species in your stove lets you control burn speed depending on whether you need a quick warm up or an all night burn.
Order your firewood well before the first hard frost around October 15, since demand climbs fast once temperatures drop and well seasoned wood can sell out before the coldest months hit. Ordering early also gives you time to get the wood properly stacked and settled before you need it burning steadily.
Council Bluffs sits in zone 5b with a heating season that stretches from mid October frost through late April, meaning wood stoves and fireplaces here often run five or six months straight. Green or half seasoned wood simply cannot keep up with that stretch, it smokes, creosote builds up, and heat output drops right when a Missouri River valley cold snap hits hardest. Our firewood is seasoned hardwood, split and dried down so it lights fast and burns hot from the first cold night in October to the last chilly morning in April. Local species like bur oak, hackberry, and honey locust are common around Council Bluffs and season differently, so proper drying time matters more here than in regions with a single dominant species. Silt loam soils and Iowa humidity swings mean wood stacked outdoors without airflow can reabsorb moisture fast, which is why we deliver wood that is already at a burn ready moisture level. Buying wood that has already been dried in our local climate saves homeowners the guesswork of trying to season it themselves before the first hard freeze.
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.
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.
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.
