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.

I needed 3 yards of top soil and that's what I got! Right on time and right where I asked it to be placed (Order# 2041).

For a typical Dalton heating season running November through April, occasional fireplace users should order a quarter to half cord, while regular wood stove users should plan on a full cord.

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.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your wood off the ground on pallets or rails so Dalton's humid air and winter rain do not wick moisture back into the bottom rows. Leave the top loosely covered but the sides open for airflow, and stack with bark facing up to shed water. A well ventilated stack a few inches off bare red clay soil will stay drier and burn more consistently through the season.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Dense local oak and hickory take longer to catch than softer woods, so build your fire with smaller kindling first and add split pieces once you have a solid bed of coals. A quick moisture check is to knock two pieces together, well seasoned wood makes a sharp crack while green wood sounds dull and heavy, a useful trick before committing a whole load to the fireplace.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your firewood in late summer or early fall, well ahead of Dalton's first frost around November 3, so it has time to finish drying in your own stack before the coldest nights hit. Waiting until temperatures drop often means settling for whatever is left, and demand climbs fast once the season turns cold.

Wood Heat in Dalton

Dalton sits in growing zone 8a at about 761 feet elevation, which means our cold season is real but relatively short, running from the first frost around November 3 to the last frost around April 27. That still adds up to nights in the 20s and 30s where a good fire matters, especially in the older brick and frame homes around Dalton with wood stoves or open hearths. North Georgia's summer humidity means green wood cut locally needs a full six months or more of proper seasoning before it burns clean, so we season our hardwood ahead of time rather than delivering wood cut last month. Local oak and hickory hold heat well through Dalton's damp winter air, but only once moisture content has dropped low enough to avoid smoky, creosote heavy fires. Buying wood that has already been seasoned for our climate saves Dalton homeowners from burning through a cord of half dried wood just to stay warm.

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 Dalton winter?

Most Dalton households burning a few nights a week from November through early April use somewhere between a half cord and a full cord. If wood heat is your primary source through the colder stretches, plan closer to a full cord or more, since our winters, while shorter than up north, still bring plenty of nights in the 20s.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has dried down to a low moisture content, typically after six months to a year of proper storage. In Dalton's humid climate, green or freshly cut wood holds onto moisture longer than in drier regions, so unseasoned wood here tends to smoke, burn poorly, and build up creosote faster in your chimney.

Answer

What kind of wood will I get with a Dalton delivery?

Expect a mix of local hardwoods common to the North Georgia foothills, mainly oak and hickory with some maple mixed in depending on availability. These species are dense, burn hot and slow, and are well suited to heating through our zone 8a winters.

Answer

Is this firewood actually sourced near Dalton, and does that matter?

Yes, all of our wood is sourced locally near Dalton rather than trucked in from far away. Firewood should always be bought close to where it will be burned because moving it long distances is one of the main ways invasive pests like the emerald ash borer spread into new forests.

Answer

How does delivery actually work, do you stack it for me?

We deliver your order loose to your driveway on the scheduled date, but stacking is not included. Most Dalton customers stack within a day or two of delivery to keep the pile organized and off the ground before rain moves in.

Answer

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

A full cord is 128 cubic feet, measured as a stack 4 feet high by 4 feet deep by 8 feet long. Our quarter cord is one fourth of that volume, the third cord is one third, and the half cord is exactly half, so you can scale your order up from occasional fireside use to full winter heating without guessing.

Answer

Are there any local burn rules I should know about in Dalton?

Whitfield County does not currently run a mandatory burn ban program like some larger Georgia metro areas, but it is worth checking local air quality advisories on high pollution days, especially during still, cold winter mornings when smoke can linger in the valley areas around Dalton.
