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.

For a typical Danville winter, occasional fireplace users do fine with a quarter to a half cord, while households heating primarily with wood should plan on two to three full cords to cover late October through late April.

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 are prepping the yard for winter, pair your firewood order with mulch or soil from our Danville regional page to protect beds through the region's red clay soil and cold nights ahead.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack firewood off the ground on a pallet or rack so Danville's humid air and winter rain do not wick moisture back up into the bottom rows. Leave the top loosely covered but the sides open for airflow, and stack in a single row facing south or west where possible to catch what sun the shorter winter days offer.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Oak and hickory take longer to catch but reward you with long, steady overnight burns once established, so use faster lighting maple or kindling to get the fire going before adding denser splits. A quick moisture check with a simple meter should read under 20 percent before you count wood as truly ready to burn.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your wood well before the first frost around October 27 so it has time to finish drying if it needs it and so you are not scrambling once temperatures drop. Late season orders in December and January are common in Danville, but supply of well seasoned wood tightens as winter goes on.

Wood Heat in Danville

Danville sits in zone 7b at about 515 feet of elevation, which means a real heating season that typically runs from late October through late April, roughly six months of cold nights. Our seasoned oak, hickory, and red maple, all sourced near Danville, are dried down to a low moisture range before delivery so they light easier and burn hotter with less smoke than green wood cut from local yards. Southside Virginia's humidity can creep back into unseasoned wood fast, which is why we split and season ours properly before it ever reaches your driveway. With a first frost around October 27 and last frost near April 21, Danville homeowners need wood that performs consistently through a long, damp winter, not just wood that looks dry on the outside. That is exactly what we deliver.

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 Danville winter actually take?

Most Danville homes using a wood stove or fireplace as a supplemental heat source burn through half a cord to a full cord across the season, which runs roughly late October to late April. Homes relying on wood as a primary heat source often need two to three full cords to make it through comfortably.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has been split and dried down to a low moisture content instead of being burned green right off the tree. In Danville's humid climate, green wood smokes heavily, burns cooler, and gums up chimneys faster, so seasoned wood is worth insisting on for both heat output and safety.

Answer

What kinds of wood should I expect in my delivery?

Expect a mix of oak, hickory, and red maple sourced from land near Danville. Oak and hickory burn long and hot for overnight fires, while maple lights easily and works well for quick evening fires.

Answer

Is your firewood actually local, and does that matter?

Yes, all of our firewood is sourced near Danville rather than trucked in from out of state. Buying local firewood matters because moving wood long distances is one of the main ways pests like the emerald ash borer spread into new areas, putting local hardwoods at risk.

Answer

How does delivery to my house actually work?

You choose your cord size and a delivery date, and we bring the wood straight to your driveway. It is delivered loose rather than stacked, so you will want a plan for where it goes once it arrives.

Answer

What is a cord, and how do your 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 roughly a third the size of an average delivery for light use, our third cord and half cord split the difference for regular fireplace use, and the full cord suits homes heating primarily with wood through Danville's winter.

Answer

Are there any local rules I should know about before burning?

Danville does not currently have a formal air quality burn ban program like some larger Virginia metro areas, but seasoned wood still produces far less visible smoke, which matters for neighbors in closer in city lots. Always check for any temporary local burn advisories during unusually still or smoggy stretches of winter.
