How Much Firewood Do I Need?
For a typical Danville heating season running late October through late April, plan on a half cord for occasional use or up to two full cords if your woodstove is your primary heat source.
What is a 1/4 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.
What is a 1/3 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.
What is a 1/2 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.

First time going with this company for mulch and it was an efficient process from start to finish. Website was easy—I told them exactly where I wanted the mulch put on my driveway, and it was delivered perfectly when I got home from work the next day. Best deal around when I compared it to competitors and I will definitely be becoming back.

While you are prepping for Danville's cold season, pair your firewood order with mulch or soil from our regional page to protect perennial beds before the first frost hits.
Stack your firewood off the ground on a pallet or rack, since Danville's silt loam soil holds moisture and can wick dampness straight into your bottom rows. Leave the top loosely covered but the sides open so air can move through the stack. A north or east facing wall exposure helps too, since it avoids the wettest weather that tends to roll in from the west during Kentucky winters.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Before burning, check a split log's end grain. Seasoned oak and hickory from around Danville should look grayed and slightly cracked at the ends, not bright and wet looking. If you have a moisture meter, anything reading under 20 percent is ready to burn clean, while higher readings mean the wood needs more time to dry before it goes in your stove.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Order your firewood well before Danville's first frost, which typically lands around October 27, since demand climbs fast once temperatures drop and seasoned wood supply tightens locally. Buying in September or early October gives you first pick of well seasoned hardwood and avoids the scramble that happens once the cold snaps hit Boyle County.
Wood Heat in Danville
Danville sits at 984 feet in growing zone 7a, where the heating season stretches from late October frost through late April, giving homeowners roughly six months of cold nights that call for a reliable wood supply. Local hardwoods like oak, hickory, and ash dry slowly in the Kentucky humidity, so wood that has not been properly seasoned will smoke, sputter, and leave creosote buildup in chimneys across Boyle County. We season our hardwood through a full cycle of Danville's seasons so moisture content drops before it ever reaches your driveway. That matters here because our humid summers and mild winters can trick green wood into looking dry on the outside while staying wet at the core. Burning properly seasoned wood means more heat per load and fewer trips restocking during a Danville January cold snap.
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 Danville winter?
Most Danville households burning a few nights a week through the October to April season use somewhere between a half cord and a full cord. If your woodstove is your primary heat source rather than a supplement, plan closer to two full cords to cover the entire stretch from first frost to last frost.
Answer
What does seasoned firewood actually mean, and why does it matter here?
Seasoned means the wood has dried down to a low moisture content, typically under 20 percent, instead of being freshly cut and still full of sap. In Danville's humid climate, green wood seasoned outdoors can take a full year or more to dry properly, so buying wood that is already seasoned saves you a season of waiting and gives you cleaner, hotter fires right away.
Answer
What kind of wood will I get delivered in Danville?
Our loads are a mix of local hardwoods common to the Danville area, mainly oak, hickory, and ash, all split and ready to burn. These species are dense and burn long, which suits the extended Kentucky heating season better than softer woods that burn fast and leave less coal bed for overnight heat.
Answer
Why does it matter that the firewood is sourced locally near Danville?
Firewood should always be bought near where it will be burned because hauling wood long distances is one of the main ways invasive pests like the emerald ash borer spread into new areas. Our wood is sourced locally near Danville, so you get a load that supports regional forest health instead of risking an infestation moving into Boyle County.
Answer
How does delivery actually work once I order?
You choose a cord size, we schedule a delivery window around your timeline, and the wood is dumped loose in your driveway at the location you specify. Stacking is not included, so plan for a few hours to move it to your woodpile or storage area once it arrives.
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 of stacked wood, measuring 4 feet high by 4 feet deep by 8 feet long. A half cord is half that volume, a third cord is roughly 43 cubic feet, and a quarter cord is about 32 cubic feet, so you can scale your order to match how much wood your Danville home actually burns through in a season.
Answer
Are there any local rules about burning firewood in Danville?
Danville does not have a formal wood burning ban like some larger metro areas, but it is good practice to keep an eye on local air quality advisories during winter inversion days when smoke can settle low in the Kentucky valleys. Burning well seasoned wood produces far less smoke and particulate than green wood, which helps keep your chimney and your neighborhood air cleaner.
