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 a typical Huntsville heating season running roughly November through March, plan on a half cord for occasional use or a full cord if your fireplace or stove sees regular weekly action.

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.

While you are prepping for winter, consider pairing your firewood order with mulch or soil from our Huntsville regional page to protect garden beds through the region's clay heavy soil and unpredictable frost dates.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your firewood off the ground on a pallet or rack, since Huntsville's clay soil holds moisture and can wick dampness up into your bottom rows. Leave the top loosely covered but the sides open so humid air can still move through the stack. A stack that breathes will stay seasoned through our wetter winter stretches far better than one wrapped tight in a tarp.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Hickory and oak both make excellent coal beds for overnight burns, but hickory throws more heat per log, so use it sparingly if your firebox runs small. Start fires with a few smaller split pieces to get airflow going before adding your larger seasoned logs, and always check that your wood sounds hollow and cracked at the ends, a simple sign it is dry enough to burn clean.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your firewood in early fall, ideally before the first frost around November 5, since demand climbs fast once temperatures drop and delivery windows fill up. Buying early also gives you time to get your stack properly organized before you actually need it for those first cold nights of the season.

Wood Heat in Huntsville

Huntsville sits in growing zone 7b with a heating season that typically runs from early November through late March, so a well stocked woodpile matters here more than people expect. Our seasoned oak and hickory are dried down to burn hot and clean, which is important given the region's summer humidity that can leave green wood damp for a full year or more. Clay soil around Huntsville drains slowly, so wood stacked directly on the ground stays wet longer than in sandier regions, making proper seasoning and off ground storage essential. With first frost typically landing around November 5 and last frost around April 1, that is nearly five months where a fireplace or wood stove gets regular use. Locally sourced hardwood also seasons faster here than shipped in wood because it has already acclimated to Huntsville's humidity swings before it reaches your 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 do I actually need to get through a Huntsville winter?

Most Huntsville households burning a few nights a week from November through March go through about half a cord to a full cord, depending on how cold the season runs and whether wood heat is a supplement or a primary source. Homes relying on a wood stove as their main heat source often use a full cord or more given our roughly five month burn window.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has dried enough that its moisture content is low, usually under 20 percent, which lets it light easier and burn hotter with less smoke. In Huntsville's humid climate, unseasoned or green wood can take over a year to dry properly, so buying wood that is already seasoned saves you a full season of waiting and frustration with damp, hard to light logs.

Answer

What kind of wood will I actually get delivered?

Our firewood is sourced locally near Huntsville and is typically a mix of oak and hickory, both dense hardwoods that are common throughout north Alabama and burn long and hot, which is ideal for the region's cold snaps and occasional ice events.

Answer

Why does it matter that the wood is local instead of shipped in from somewhere else?

Moving firewood long distances is one of the main ways invasive pests like the emerald ash borer spread from one region to another. Because our wood is sourced near Huntsville and burned near Huntsville, you are helping keep local hardwood stands healthier for the long run.

Answer

How does delivery actually work once I place an order?

You choose your cord size, we schedule a delivery window that fits your calendar, and our truck drops the wood loose at your driveway. Stacking is not included, so plan on an afternoon to move it to your storage spot.

Answer

What is the difference between a quarter cord, a third cord, a half cord, and a full cord?

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, our third cord about a third, and our half cord exactly half, so you can size your order to your fireplace, wood stove, or storage space without paying for more than you will burn in a season.

Answer

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

Huntsville and Madison County occasionally issue burn advisories during periods of poor air quality or drought, so it is worth checking local notices before large outdoor burns, though indoor fireplace and wood stove use is generally unaffected. Keeping your wood dry and well seasoned also cuts down on the smoke that can trigger neighborhood complaints during still, humid evenings.
