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.

Ordered Dirt. Received Dirt. Would Buy Again.

For most Evansville homes, a half cord covers casual fireplace use through the season, while daily wood stove heating usually calls for a full cord or more given our roughly five month cold stretch.

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.

Complete Your Outdoor Project

While you are prepping the yard for winter, pair your firewood order with mulch or soil from our Evansville regional page to protect garden beds through the same alluvial clay freeze thaw cycles.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your wood off the ground on pallets or rails so Evansville's humid summers and wet winters do not wick moisture up into the bottom rows. Leave gaps between rows for airflow, and cover only the top with a tarp, keeping the sides open so trapped humidity can escape instead of rotting the stack from within over our long storage season.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Hickory and oak from our area burn longer and hotter, making them good picks for overnight coals on the coldest nights, while ash lights easier and works well for getting a fire started. Mixing species in the firebox gives you quick flame from the ash and lasting heat from the denser hickory and oak splits.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your cord size before late September if possible, since demand climbs quickly once temperatures start dropping toward our October 20 average first frost. Ordering early also gives freshly split wood more time to finish seasoning in your storage stack before you need it on the coldest January nights.

Wood Heat in Evansville

Evansville sits in growing zone 6b with a heating season that typically runs from the October 20 first frost well into April, meaning many households burn wood for five months or more. Local oak, hickory, and ash split and dried through our humid Ohio Valley summers need a full seasoning cycle before they burn clean, since our alluvial clay bottomland climate holds moisture in freshly cut wood longer than drier regions. Green or under seasoned wood in this climate throws more creosote and burns cooler, which matters over a long southern Indiana winter. Buying properly seasoned hardwood sourced near Evansville means the wood has already adjusted to our humidity instead of sweating and smoldering in your fireplace. It also keeps the fire hotter on the coldest nights around our January lows.

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 actually need to get through an Evansville winter?

Households burning a few nights a week from late October through early April often use a half cord to a full cord, while daily wood stove users can go through one and a half to two cords across our roughly five month heating season.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has dried down to a usable moisture level after being split and stored, which matters in our humid alluvial clay region because freshly cut hardwood holds water longer here than in drier climates and will smoke and smolder instead of burning hot.

Answer

What kinds of wood will I actually get?

Expect a mix of oak, hickory, and ash split from trees sourced around the Evansville area, all common regional hardwoods known for solid heat output and a long, steady burn.

Answer

Is this wood really local, and does that matter?

Yes, our firewood is sourced near Evansville, and buying local keeps you from unknowingly transporting pests like the emerald ash borer, which spreads when firewood is hauled long distances between regions.

Answer

How does delivery actually work?

You choose a cord size, schedule a delivery date, and we drop the wood loose in your driveway, stacking is not included so plan on moving it to your storage spot yourself.

Answer

What is a cord, and how do your sizes compare?

A full cord is 128 cubic feet of stacked wood, measuring 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 volume for smaller storage spaces or lighter burning needs.

Answer

Are there local burn rules I should know about in Evansville?

Check with the Evansville Vanderburgh County health department before burning during air quality advisory days, especially during still, humid stretches when smoke can settle low over neighborhoods.
