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).

Most Dothan households with occasional fireplace use do well with a quarter to half cord, while daily wood stove users should plan for a half to full cord to last the season.

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 Dothan, Alabama

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your firewood off the ground on a pallet or rack so Dothan's humid air does not wick moisture back into the bottom rows. Leave gaps between splits for airflow, and cover just the top with a tarp rather than wrapping the whole pile, since sealing the sides traps humidity and can cause mold in our muggy climate even after the wood has been properly seasoned.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Oak and hickory from around Dothan burn slow and hot, perfect for overnight coals, while pecan lights quicker and works well for building your initial flame. Start with smaller pecan splits to get the fire going, then add oak or hickory once you have a solid bed of coals for a longer, steadier burn through the night.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your cord before late October if possible, since demand around Dothan tends to spike once that first frost around November 10 hits and everyone remembers their woodpile is empty at once. Ordering early also gives your wood a few extra weeks to finish drying out in your storage area before the coldest nights arrive.

Wood Heat in Dothan

Dothan sits in growing zone 8b, so our heating season is short compared to the rest of the country, but it still runs from roughly the first frost around November 10 through late February when the last frost typically clears. That means many Dothan households only fire up the wood stove or fireplace on the coldest nights, but they need that wood to be truly dry when they do. Our humid Wiregrass air makes green wood slow to season on its own, sometimes taking a year or more in a backyard pile. We deliver hardwood that has already been split and seasoned, so it lights faster, produces more heat, and leaves less creosote in your chimney. Local species like oak, hickory, and pecan are common around Dothan and hold up well in our sandy loam growing conditions, giving you long, steady burns on chilly Wiregrass evenings.

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 we actually need for a Dothan winter?

Because our cold season is fairly short, running from around November 10 to late February, many Dothan homes get by comfortably on a quarter to half cord if the fireplace is used mainly on cold snaps. Households that heat a room regularly with a wood stove often go through a half to full cord across the season.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has dried down to a low moisture content after being cut and split, usually six months to a year. In Dothan's humid climate, green wood seasons slowly and can smoke heavily or smolder instead of burning clean, so we deliver wood that is already properly dried and ready to burn.

Answer

What kinds of wood will I get from a Dothan delivery?

Expect a mix of hardwoods common to our part of the Wiregrass region, primarily oak, hickory, and pecan. These species are dense and burn hot and long, which suits the occasional but intense cold snaps we get here.

Answer

Is your firewood sourced locally, and does that matter?

Yes, all of our firewood is sourced near Dothan. Buying and burning local wood keeps invasive pests like the emerald ash borer from hitching a ride into new areas, which is why we never truck wood in from far away regions.

Answer

How does delivery actually work?

You choose your cord size and a delivery date, and our truck brings the wood straight to your driveway. It is delivered loose rather than stacked, so you will want to have your stacking area ready before the truck arrives.

Answer

What is the difference between a quarter 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. Our quarter cord is one fourth of that volume, our third cord and half cord fall in between, giving Dothan homeowners flexible options depending on how much storage space and burning they plan to do this season.

Answer

Are there any local rules about burning wood in Dothan?

Dothan does not have a specific wood burning ban, but as with most of Alabama, using dry seasoned wood instead of green wood significantly cuts down smoke output, which matters most on the still, humid days common to our area when smoke tends to linger close to the ground.
