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 most Davenport households, half a cord covers a casual burning season while full time wood heat users should plan on ordering a full cord before the first frost hits in October.

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.

Areas we deliver firewood in Davenport, Iowa

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack firewood off the ground on pallets or a rack so air can move underneath, since Davenport's damp fall weather and occasional early snow can wick moisture up into a low stack. Leave a few inches between rows for airflow, and cover only the top of the stack with a tarp, leaving the sides open so trapped humidity can escape instead of promoting mold and slow rotting.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Oak and hickory, common in our local mix, benefit from a hot, fast starting fire using smaller kindling before adding larger splits, since these dense woods take longer to catch than softer species. A quick moisture check is to knock two pieces together, well seasoned wood gives a sharp crack while green wood sounds dull and heavy, a useful test before loading your stove for an overnight burn.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your firewood in late summer or early fall, well ahead of Davenport's typical first frost around October 10, since supply and delivery windows tighten once cold weather actually arrives and everyone is scrambling at once. Buying early also gives any slightly higher moisture wood extra weeks to finish drying out on your property before you need it for a hard freeze.

Wood Heat in Davenport

Davenport sits in growing zone 5b, which typically means a heating season stretching from mid October through late April, roughly six full months of fires to keep a home comfortable. Green or half seasoned wood struggles in the Quad Cities humidity that rolls off the Mississippi River, producing more smoke and creosote buildup than dry wood. Our firewood is seasoned well before delivery, so moisture content is low enough for a clean burn even during the damp stretches common in eastern Iowa winters. Local hardwoods like oak, hickory, and hard maple are common in this region and are prized for long, steady burns that hold heat through cold overnight lows. Because Davenport winters can bring sustained cold snaps, having dry, ready to burn wood on hand before the first frost matters more here than in milder climates.

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 Davenport house need to get through winter?

Most Davenport homeowners burning a wood stove several nights a week from October through April go through half a cord to a full cord per season, while those using firewood mainly for ambiance in a fireplace often use a quarter cord or less.

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, which is important in Davenport because our humid summers and damp river air can slow natural drying if wood is cut too close to burn season.

Answer

What kinds of wood will I actually get?

Expect a mix of local hardwoods common to eastern Iowa such as oak, hickory, and hard maple, all known for dense, long burning coals that hold up well during extended cold snaps.

Answer

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

Yes, our wood is sourced locally, which matters because moving firewood long distances is one of the main ways invasive pests like the emerald ash borer spread into new areas, including here in the Quad Cities region.

Answer

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

Wood is delivered loose to your driveway rather than stacked, so you will want to have a spot ready to move and stack it yourself once it arrives.

Answer

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

A full cord is a stack measuring 4 feet high by 4 feet deep by 8 feet long, or 128 cubic feet total, and the quarter, half, and three quarter cord options are simply proportional fractions of that same stacked volume, so you can order based on exactly how much wood your space and burn habits call for.

Answer

Are there any local rules about burning wood in Davenport?

Iowa air quality guidance generally recommends avoiding burning during periods of poor air quality or heavy smoke advisories, and burning only well seasoned wood is one of the simplest ways to reduce smoke output and stay within good neighbor practices in residential areas.
