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.

Easy to order, great service, and great product. We enjoy the final look of a very neglected beds we inherited!

Light or occasional burners typically need a quarter to a half cord to get through a Greensboro winter, while regular users heating a main living space should plan for a full cord or more.

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

If you are prepping your property for winter, pair your firewood order with mulch or soil from our Greensboro regional page to protect garden beds through our clay heavy soil before the ground freezes.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your wood off the ground on a pallet or rack, since Greensboro's clay soil holds moisture and can wick dampness straight into the bottom layers of your pile. Leave the top loosely covered but the sides open to airflow, because fully wrapping a stack in humid Piedmont air traps moisture and slows seasoning instead of helping it.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Oak and hickory take longer to catch but burn hot and steady, so use them for overnight fires during Greensboro's coldest stretches in January. Ash lights fast and works best as your kindling companion when you are getting a fire started on a damp evening, which happens often given our regional humidity.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your wood in late summer or early fall, well before the October 30 average first frost, since demand climbs fast once temperatures drop and delivery windows fill up. Buying early also gives any less fully dried splits extra weeks to season further in your stack before you actually need to burn them.

Wood Heat in Greensboro

Greensboro winters run from that late October first frost through mid April, which is a longer heating stretch than most of the Piedmont realizes until the wood pile runs low in February. Our humid subtropical air means green wood holds moisture far longer here than in drier climates, so unseasoned splits can hiss and smoke instead of throwing real heat. We season our hardwood, mostly oak, hickory, and ash sourced from Guilford County land, for months so the moisture content drops before it ever reaches your driveway. That matters because Zone 7b humidity keeps freshly cut wood damp well into the season if it is not dried properly. Burning properly seasoned wood means fewer creosote buildups in your flue and more consistent heat on the cold nights between now and April. Local, dry, ready to burn wood is simply a better fit for how Greensboro actually heats through 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 does a typical Greensboro winter actually use

For a home that burns a few nights a week from late October through mid April, most Greensboro households go through a half cord to a full cord. If wood is your primary heat source rather than a supplement, plan closer to two full cords to make it through our roughly five and a half month heating window.

Answer

What does seasoned firewood actually mean and does it matter here

Seasoned means the wood has dried down to a low moisture content after being cut and split, usually six months to a year depending on species. In Greensboro's humid climate this step matters more than in drier regions, because green wood left outdoors here can stay damp and hard to burn well into winter if it has not been properly dried first.

Answer

What kinds of wood will I actually get

Expect a mix of local hardwoods common to the Piedmont, primarily oak, hickory, and ash, all sourced near Guilford County. Oak and hickory burn long and hot, which suits the cold snaps that follow our late October frosts, while ash lights easily and works well for getting a fire going quickly.

Answer

Why does it matter that the wood is sourced locally

Moving firewood long distances is one of the main ways invasive pests like the emerald ash borer spread into new areas. Because our wood is cut and seasoned near Greensboro, you get firewood that has not traveled through other regions, which protects local trees and keeps the wood matched to our climate and species.

Answer

How does delivery actually work once I order

You choose your cord size and a delivery window, and our truck brings the wood loose to the edge of your driveway on the scheduled day. Stacking is not included, so plan on having a tarp, rack, or covered spot ready if you want it off the ground quickly.

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. Our quarter cord is one fourth of that volume, our third cord is one third, and our half cord is exactly half, so you can scale your order to your stove size, storage space, and how much of the Greensboro heating season you plan to burn through.

Answer

Are there any local burn rules or air quality advisories I should know about

Guilford County occasionally issues air quality alerts during winter inversion periods when smoke can settle close to the ground, so it is worth checking local advisories on high pollution days before building a large fire. Burning fully seasoned wood also helps, since it produces less smoke and particulate than green or wet wood.
