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 Dover households, a half cord covers a moderate winter of regular fires, while full time wood heat through our full frost window usually calls for a complete 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.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your Dover delivery off the ground on pallets or rails so air can move underneath, since our humid summers and wet winters can wick moisture up into the bottom rows of a pile sitting directly on soil. Leave the top loosely covered but the sides open to airflow, and angle the stack slightly so runoff sheds away rather than pooling against the wood.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Oak and hickory both burn long and hot once seasoned, making them ideal for overnight loads during Dover cold snaps, while ash lights faster and works well for building a quick evening fire. A simple moisture meter reading below twenty percent tells you a split is ready to burn clean rather than hissing and smoking in the firebox.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your seasoned wood well before that first November frost hits Dover, since supply tightens once cold weather actually arrives and everyone is scrambling at once. Buying in late summer or early fall also gives any slightly green splits extra weeks to finish drying out before you actually need them.

Wood Heat in Dover

Dover sits in growing zone 7b with a heating season that typically runs from that first November frost through mid April, which adds up to several cold, damp months where a good wood stove or fireplace earns its keep. The sandy loam soils around Kent County support strong stands of oak, hickory, and ash, all of which split and burn well once properly dried. Because Delaware summers are humid, green wood cut locally needs a full six to twelve months of seasoning under cover before it burns clean, and unseasoned wood in our climate tends to smolder and throw more creosote up the flue. Buying wood that has already been seasoned through a Dover summer means you are getting fuel that has had a real chance to drop its moisture content in our specific air, not wood seasoned somewhere drier and trucked in. That matters for anyone heating a older Dover home with drafty windows, since a hotter, cleaner burn stretches every cord further.

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 Dover winter actually use?

Most Dover homes burning a wood stove several nights a week from November through mid April go through one to two full cords in a season, while occasional weekend fire pit users often get by on a quarter or third cord.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has dried down to a low moisture content, usually after six months or more of exposure to air, which matters in Dover because our humid summers slow down natural drying compared to drier climates, so wood cut and split too recently often still burns wet and smoky.

Answer

What kinds of wood will I actually get delivered?

Expect a mix of local hardwoods common to Kent County, mainly oak and hickory with some ash mixed in, all species that hold heat well and are well suited to the sandy loam ground they grow in around Dover.

Answer

Is this wood actually local, and does that matter?

Yes, it is sourced near Dover, and keeping firewood local matters because hauling wood long distances is one of the main ways pests like the emerald ash borer spread from one region to another, putting local ash trees at risk.

Answer

How does delivery to my house actually work?

We schedule a drop off date, then deliver your order loose to the edge of your driveway, and from there it is on you to move and stack it since stacking is not part of the delivery.

Answer

How do your cord sizes compare to a full cord?

A full cord is 128 cubic feet stacked, 4 feet high by 4 feet deep by 8 feet long, and our quarter, third, and half cord options are simply fractions of that same stacked measurement, so a half cord is about 64 cubic feet and a quarter cord is about 32 cubic feet.

Answer

Are there any local rules about burning wood in Dover?

Delaware occasionally issues air quality advisories during stagnant weather, so it is worth checking local conditions on high pollution days and holding off on non essential burning until air quality improves.
