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 Fort Wayne households, a half cord to one full cord covers occasional to regular fireplace use through the winter, while full time wood heat users should plan for two to three cords to make it comfortably to the April 30 last frost.

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 your property for a long Fort Wayne winter, consider pairing your firewood order with mulch or soil from our regional lineup to protect garden beds and clay soil areas before the ground freezes.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your wood off bare ground on pallets or rails so air can move underneath, since Fort Wayne's humid summers and freeze thaw cycles can trap moisture against logs sitting directly on soil or clay. 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, so trapped humidity does not slow seasoning or invite rot over a long winter.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Oak and hickory from around Fort Wayne burn longer and hotter, making them good choices for overnight coals, while ash and maple catch faster and work well for building a quick fire. A simple moisture check is to knock two pieces together, seasoned wood gives a sharp crack while green wood sounds dull and heavy, a quick test worth doing before loading your stove on a cold night.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your firewood well before the October 10 average frost date, since demand climbs fast once temperatures drop and wood cut too close to the season may not have had enough time to season properly in our humid summer air. Ordering in late summer or early fall also gives you a buffer if an early cold snap hits before you expect it.

Wood Heat in Fort Wayne

Fort Wayne winters run long, with a frost window that typically opens around October 10 and holds on until the end of April, meaning wood stoves and fireplaces often see six months of steady use. Our clay soil and humid summers slow natural log drying, so wood that is not properly seasoned can carry excess moisture well into the burning season. Locally sourced hardwoods like oak, hickory, ash, and maple are seasoned for months before delivery, giving Fort Wayne homeowners drier, denser wood that lights easier and burns hotter. Because our region sits at 810 feet with moderate humidity, seasoning time matters more here than in drier climates, since damp air slows moisture loss in stacked rounds. Buying seasoned wood grown near Fort Wayne means you are getting fuel that has actually had time to dry in our specific conditions, not wood cut and shipped in from somewhere with a different climate.

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 Fort Wayne winter actually require?

With our heating season stretching from around October 10 to April 30, a household burning several nights a week as a primary heat source often goes through two to three full cords, while occasional fireplace users may only need a half cord or one cord to get through to spring.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has dried down to a lower moisture content after being cut and split, which matters in Fort Wayne because our humid summers slow drying compared to drier regions, so unseasoned wood can smolder, smoke heavily, and build creosote in your chimney instead of burning clean.

Answer

What kinds of wood will I actually get delivered?

Expect a mix of hardwoods common to northeast Indiana woodlots, mainly oak, hickory, ash, and maple, all chosen for dense, long burning heat suited to a full Fort Wayne winter.

Answer

Is this firewood really sourced near Fort Wayne, and does that matter?

Yes, all our firewood is sourced locally rather than trucked in from other regions, which matters because moving firewood long distances is a known way invasive pests like the emerald ash borer spread to new areas, so buying and burning local protects the ash and hardwood trees still standing around Fort Wayne.

Answer

How does delivery to my driveway actually work?

You choose your cord size and a delivery date, and our crew drops the wood loose in your driveway rather than stacked, so plan on having space and some time set aside to move it into your own stack.

Answer

What is the difference between a quarter cord, a half cord, and 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 volume, so a half cord is about 64 cubic feet and a quarter cord about 32 cubic feet, letting you match the size to your storage space and how much heating you plan to do.

Answer

Are there any local rules I should know about burning wood in Fort Wayne?

Fort Wayne and Allen County can issue air quality advisories on days with poor air circulation, so it is worth checking local notices during stagnant winter weather and holding off on unnecessary outdoor burning, while indoor wood stove and fireplace use should always follow manufacturer clearances and local code for chimney upkeep.
