Ordered Dirt. Received Dirt. Would Buy Again.

For a typical Effingham heating season, plan on a half cord to a full cord if you use your stove regularly, and a quarter or 1/3 cord if fires are occasional.

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.

Placing an order online was so easy. Delivery was on time. When the driver realized we had a newly poured driveway they erred on the side of caution and opted not ti drive in it. The company even sent me a message explaining that call. Would recommend!

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your firewood off the ground on pallets or rails so Effingham's damp spring thaw does not wick moisture back into the bottom rows. Leave gaps between rows for airflow and cover only the top of the stack, keeping the sides open so humidity can escape rather than get trapped against the wood.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Oak and hickory both take a bit longer to catch than softer woods, so start your fire with smaller kindling pieces before adding split hardwood. Once established, these dense species throw steady heat for hours, which is exactly what you want on a long Effingham cold snap.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your firewood well before the first frost around mid October so it has time to finish drying if it needs it. Waiting until the first cold night often means scrambling for wood that has not had enough time to season properly for a clean burn.

Wood Heat in Effingham

Effingham winters stretch from mid October frost through late April, which means a long heating season for anyone running a wood stove or outdoor furnace. Our region's silt loam soils support strong stands of oak, hickory, and hard maple, all of which are prized for dense, long burning firewood. Green wood cut fresh from these species holds high moisture and simply will not throw good heat during a cold snap. Seasoned wood that has dried for six to twelve months under cover burns hotter, produces less creosote, and starts easier on a frosty Effingham morning. Local humidity swings between muggy summers and dry winters, so wood that is properly seasoned before delivery avoids the sizzling, smoky burn that green wood produces indoors. Buying seasoned and local means your first fire of the season lights fast and keeps your home warm through our long Zone 6b winter.

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 I need to get through an Effingham winter?

Most Effingham households burning a wood stove several nights a week from late October through April go through one to two full cords. If you only burn occasionally on cold weekends, a half cord or 1/3 cord is often enough to see you through.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has dried down to a lower moisture content, usually after six months to a year of exposure to air. In our humid summers and dry winter air, seasoned wood lights faster, burns hotter, and leaves less creosote buildup in your chimney than green wood cut the same season.

Answer

What kinds of wood will I get with an Effingham delivery?

Expect a mix of local hardwoods common to this part of Illinois, primarily oak and hickory with some hard maple. These species are dense, split well, and give a long, steady burn that suits our long heating season.

Answer

Is this firewood actually sourced near Effingham?

Yes, all of our firewood is sourced locally near Effingham rather than trucked in from distant regions. Moving firewood long distances is one of the main ways pests like the emerald ash borer spread, so keeping wood local protects the trees in our own neighborhoods.

Answer

How does delivery to my driveway work?

You choose your cord size and a delivery date, and our truck drops the wood loose in your driveway on that day. Stacking is not included, so plan on moving it to your storage area yourself or with help.

Answer

What is the difference between a quarter cord, a third 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. A half cord is 64 cubic feet, a 1/3 cord is roughly 43 cubic feet, and a 1/4 cord is 32 cubic feet, so you can size your order to match your stove use and storage space.

Answer

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

Effingham does not run a strict burn ban program like some larger Illinois cities, but it is still good practice to check for any air quality advisories on high humidity or stagnant air days before building a big fire, especially if neighbors are close by.
