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 occasional fireplace use through a Decatur winter, a quarter or third cord is usually enough, while households heating primarily with wood should plan on one and a half to three cords to make it to the last frost in early May.

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.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your wood off the ground on pallets or rails so Decatur's wet spring thaw does not wick moisture back into the bottom rows. Leave gaps between rows for airflow, and top the stack with a simple cover that shields it from rain and snow but leaves the sides open, since a fully sealed tarp traps humidity and slows drying in our climate.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Oak and hickory take longer to catch but throw steady heat for hours once going, so use them for overnight burns. Keep some faster catching maple on hand to get a fire established quickly, then add the denser wood once you have a solid bed of coals built up.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your wood in late summer or early fall, well before the October 11 frost date, so it has time to finish drying and you are not scrambling once temperatures drop. Early orders also beat the rush that hits local suppliers once the first cold snap sends everyone searching for wood at once.

Wood Heat in Decatur

Decatur winters run long, with frost typically arriving by October 11 and lingering into early May, so a wood stove or fireplace can see six months of steady use. Central Illinois humidity swings from muggy summers to dry winter air, which means unseasoned wood struggles to burn clean and can cake up a chimney with creosote fast. Our firewood is cut, split, and air dried well ahead of delivery so the moisture content is low enough for a hot, efficient fire from the first log. Local hardwoods like oak, hickory, and hard maple are common in this part of the Midwest and are prized for long, steady burns through a Decatur cold snap. Buying wood that has already gone through a proper seasoning cycle in our region, rather than rushed or shipped in green, is the difference between a smoky evening and a warm one.

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 will I need to get through a Decatur winter?

Most homes here burning a couple nights a week from October into April go through roughly one to one and a half cords. If your stove is your primary heat source through Decatur's full frost window, budget closer to two or three cords.

Answer

What does seasoned firewood actually mean, and does it matter here?

Seasoned means the wood has dried down to a low moisture content after being split and left to air out, usually six months or more. In our humid Illinois summers, green wood holds onto moisture longer than people expect, so seasoned wood is what actually lights easily and burns hot instead of hissing and smoking.

Answer

What kind of wood will I actually get delivered?

Expect a mix of hardwoods common to central Illinois woodlots, primarily oak, hickory, and hard maple, all split and seasoned and ready to burn on arrival.

Answer

Is this firewood really local, and why does that matter?

Yes, it is sourced near Decatur rather than trucked in from out of state. Keeping firewood local matters because pests like the emerald ash borer spread through moved firewood, so buying and burning wood close to home helps protect area trees.

Answer

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

We deliver the load loose to your driveway. Stacking is not included, so plan on an hour or two to move it to your storage spot, or split the job over a couple evenings.

Answer

How much wood is actually in a cord versus a quarter or half cord?

A full cord is 128 cubic feet stacked, measuring 4 feet high by 4 feet deep by 8 feet long. Our quarter cord is one fourth of that volume, the third cord is about a third, and the half cord is exactly half, so you can scale your order to whatever fits your woodshed or side yard.

Answer

Are there any local rules about burning wood in Decatur?

Check with the City of Decatur or your homeowners association before installing an outdoor burner or having frequent open fires, since local ordinances can restrict open burning within city limits. Seasoned wood also produces less visible smoke, which helps if your neighborhood has any air quality sensitivities during winter inversions.
