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.

Occasional burners in Godfrey typically need a 1/4 to 1/2 cord for the season, while those heating primarily with wood through our full frost window should order a full cord to stay stocked through April.

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.

First time going with this company for mulch and it was an efficient process from start to finish. Website was easy—I told them exactly where I wanted the mulch put on my driveway, and it was delivered perfectly when I got home from work the next day. Best deal around when I compared it to competitors and I will definitely be becoming back.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your wood off the ground on pallets or a rack, and cover only the top with a tarp, leaving the sides open for airflow. Godfrey's humid summers and wet winter snow both encourage mold and slow drying if wood is fully wrapped. A stack tucked against a south facing wall gets extra sun exposure, which helps keep bark dry and bugs from taking hold.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Oak and hickory from around Godfrey burn dense and slow, perfect for building a base layer of coals that will hold heat through the night. Ash lights fast and burns hot quickly, so use it to get a fire going before adding your denser oak or hickory splits on top once the coal bed is established.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your firewood before the first frost hits in early November, since demand across the region spikes hard once temperatures drop and local supply tightens. Ordering early also gives freshly delivered wood a few extra weeks to finish drying out in your storage rack before you need it for a cold snap.

Wood Heat in Godfrey

Godfrey sits in growing zone 6b with a heating season that typically runs from that first frost around November 1 through the last frost near April 12, which means many homes are running a stove or fireplace for five months or more. That kind of stretch demands wood that is actually dry inside, not just weathered on the outside, because our river valley humidity along the Mississippi bottomlands can keep green wood from seasoning properly if it sits uncovered. Local hardwoods like oak, hickory, and ash season slowly in this climate and need six months to a year of proper drying before they burn clean and hot. Wood that has not seasoned long enough in our humid summers will smoke, sizzle, and waste half its heat pushing out trapped moisture instead of warming your living room. Buying seasoned wood already tested and ready means you are not gambling on whether last month's rain soaked into a stack that looked dry from the driveway.

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 will I actually need to get through a Godfrey winter?

For homeowners burning a few nights a week as a supplemental heat source, a 1/2 cord usually covers November through April. If wood is your primary heat source through our full frost window from November 1 to April 12, plan on a full cord to a cord and a half depending on how large your stove or fireplace insert is.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has dried for at least six months to a year, dropping its moisture content low enough to burn efficiently. In our silt loam river valley climate, humidity can slow that drying process, so wood that looks split and stacked at a roadside stand may still be green inside. Our wood is fully seasoned before it ever reaches your driveway.

Answer

What kind of wood species should I expect in my delivery?

Expect a mix of oak, hickory, and ash, the dominant hardwoods sourced from timber near Godfrey. Oak and hickory burn long and hot, ideal for overnight fires, while ash lights easily and works well for quick evening fires.

Answer

Is this firewood actually sourced locally, and does that matter?

Yes, all of our firewood is sourced near Godfrey rather than trucked in from distant regions. This matters because moving firewood long distances is one of the main ways invasive pests like the emerald ash borer spread from county to county, putting more of our local ash trees at risk.

Answer

How does delivery actually work once I place an order?

You choose your cord size, schedule a delivery date, and our truck drops the wood loose in your driveway. We do not stack it, so plan on having a tarp, rack, or covered spot ready to protect it from rain and snow.

Answer

What is the difference between a 1/4 cord, 1/3 cord, 1/2 cord, and 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 1/2 cord is half that volume, a 1/3 cord is roughly a third, and a 1/4 cord is a quarter of a full cord, giving Godfrey homeowners flexible options depending on how much storage space and burning need they have.

Answer

Are there any local burn rules I should know about before stocking up?

Godfrey follows Madison County guidance on outdoor burning, and on days with poor regional air quality it is worth checking local advisories before lighting an outdoor fire pit. Indoor wood stove and fireplace burning is generally unrestricted, but keeping your wood well seasoned also reduces the smoke output that triggers neighbor complaints during still winter air.
