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.

Highest compliments. Great driver.
Website is easy to navigate. Just a seamless process. 5 stars!!

Most Hamilton homes using a wood stove as supplemental heat get through the season on a half cord to a full cord, while primary heat users should budget for one and a half to two cords.

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 for winter, pair your firewood order with mulch or bagged soil from our Hamilton regional page to protect perennial beds before the silt loam ground freezes.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your wood off the ground on pallets or rails so Hamilton's humid air does not wick moisture up into the pile. Leave gaps between rows for airflow and angle the top of the stack or cover it loosely so rain and snow run off rather than soaking in. A well ventilated stack stays drier through our long frost to frost season and burns noticeably cleaner.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Hickory and oak, common in our local deliveries, burn slow and hot, making them ideal for overnight fires during Hamilton's coldest stretches. A quick moisture check is to knock two pieces together, seasoned wood makes a sharp crack, green wood sounds dull. If you are unsure, a simple moisture meter reading under 20 percent means it is ready to burn.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your firewood well before Hamilton's typical October 20 first frost, since demand climbs fast once temperatures drop and popular cord sizes can book out. Ordering in late summer or early fall also gives your stack extra weeks to finish drying in the open air before you need it, which matters more than people expect given our summer humidity.

Wood Heat in Hamilton

Hamilton winters run from that first frost around October 20 through the last frost near April 22, which adds up to a long stretch of nights where a wood stove or fireplace earns its keep. Southwest Ohio humidity means unseasoned wood holds moisture stubbornly, so burning green wood here leads to smoky, low heat fires and dangerous creosote buildup in the flue. Our seasoned hardwood is dried down before it reaches your driveway, so it lights faster and burns hotter through Butler County's damp cold snaps. Local species like oak, hickory, and hard maple, common across this part of the Miami Valley, hold heat well and burn long into those October to April nights. Because Hamilton sits in silt loam country with older tree stock, we are able to source dense, high BTU hardwood close to home rather than trucking in unknown wood.

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 a Hamilton winter?

For a home that burns a few nights a week from late October through April, a half cord to a full cord usually covers the season. If your wood stove is your primary heat source rather than a supplement, plan closer to two full cords given how long Hamilton's frost window runs.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has dried down to a low moisture content before delivery, unlike freshly cut green wood. In Hamilton's humid summers, unseasoned wood can take six months to a year to dry properly, so buying seasoned wood means you skip that wait and get a hotter, cleaner burn right away.

Answer

What kind of wood will I get with a Hamilton delivery?

Expect a mix of local hardwoods common to the Miami Valley such as oak, hickory, and hard maple. These species are dense and burn long, which suits Hamilton's extended heating season better than softer, faster burning woods.

Answer

Is this wood actually local, and does that matter?

Yes, we source near Hamilton rather than trucking wood in from far away. Buying local matters because hauling firewood long distances is one of the main ways pests like the emerald ash borer spread from one region's forests to another.

Answer

How does delivery to my driveway work?

You choose a cord size, we schedule a delivery window, and the wood is dropped loose at your driveway. We do not stack it, so plan to move it to your woodpile before winter humidity or rain sets in.

Answer

What is a cord, and how do the smaller sizes compare?

A full cord is 128 cubic feet of stacked wood, measuring 4 feet high by 4 feet deep by 8 feet long. Our quarter cord is roughly a quarter of that volume, the third cord about a third, and the half cord half the stack, so you can match the size to your storage space and how much you burn each winter.

Answer

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

Butler County occasionally issues air quality advisories during winter inversions, which can trap smoke closer to the ground. On those days it is worth checking local air quality notices before building a big fire, especially if you have neighbors close by.
