About this firewood

A full cord of seasoned split hardwood, 128 cubic feet stacked. The best value per log for wood stoves and heavy winter burning.

Placing an order online was so easy. Delivery was on time. When the driver realized we had a newly poured driveway they erred on the side of caution and opted not ti drive in it. The company even sent me a message explaining that call. Would recommend!

For a standard Indianapolis heating season running roughly from late October to late April, plan on a half cord for occasional use and up to a full cord if wood is your primary heat source.

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, consider pairing your firewood order with mulch or bagged soil from our Indianapolis materials page to protect flower beds and tree roots before the ground freezes.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Indiana's clay soil and humid summers mean firewood stacked directly on bare ground stays damp longer, even after it has been seasoned. Raise your stack on pallets or scrap lumber and leave the top covered but the sides open to airflow. This keeps rain and snowmelt from soaking back into the wood while still letting humidity escape, which matters more here than in drier climates.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Oak and hickory, common in central Indiana deliveries, burn hot and long but take longer to catch, so start fires with smaller ash or maple splits and add the denser oak or hickory once you have solid coals. A quick moisture check is to knock two split pieces together, well seasoned wood makes a sharp crack rather than a dull thud.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Because Indianapolis heating season starts creeping in around the October 20 first frost, order your seasoned firewood in late summer or early fall before demand picks up. Wood bought and stacked by September has extra weeks to finish drying out in the open air before you need it, which makes a real difference once temperatures start dropping steadily.

Wood Heat in Indianapolis

Indianapolis winters run long, with a first frost around October 20 and a last frost near April 20, which means many households are feeding a stove or fireplace for five to six months straight. That kind of heating season punishes wood that has not been properly seasoned, since central Indiana's humid summers slow down natural drying and green wood can still be full of moisture come December. Local hardwoods like oak, hickory, ash, and hard maple are common around Marion County and the surrounding counties, and each burns differently, with oak and hickory offering longer, hotter burns for the coldest stretches. Wood that has been split and air dried for a full season loses much of that trapped moisture, so it lights faster, produces less smoke, and puts out more usable heat per load. In clay soil regions like Indianapolis, split wood stacked directly on the ground can wick up moisture, so proper airflow and off ground storage matter more here than in sandier climates. Buying seasoned wood sourced near Indianapolis keeps your heating season efficient instead of fighting hissing, smoldering logs all January.

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 an Indianapolis winter?

Most Indianapolis households burning a few nights a week from late October through April use somewhere between a half cord and a full cord, while daily burners or homes using wood as a primary heat source often go through one to two full cords across the season.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has been split and air dried, typically for six months to a year, so most of its internal moisture has evaporated. In our humid Indiana summers, unseasoned wood holds onto moisture longer than in drier climates, so buying already seasoned wood saves you from smoky, low heat fires when temperatures drop.

Answer

What kinds of wood will I get with an Indianapolis delivery?

Expect a mix of hardwoods common to central Indiana, including oak, hickory, ash, and hard maple, all sourced locally and split to a size ready for your fireplace or stove.

Answer

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

Yes, our firewood is sourced locally near Indianapolis rather than trucked in from far away. Buying and burning wood close to where it grew helps prevent spreading invasive pests like the emerald ash borer, which has already devastated ash trees across Indiana and can hitch a ride in firewood moved long distances.

Answer

How does delivery to my Indianapolis home actually work?

You choose your cord size and a delivery window, and we drop the wood loose in your driveway. Stacking is not included, so plan on having space and time to move it to your storage area once it arrives.

Answer

What is the difference between a quarter 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 is about a third, and our half cord is half, giving Indianapolis homeowners flexible options depending on how much wood their fireplace or stove goes through each winter.

Answer

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

Indianapolis and Marion County occasionally issue air quality advisories during winter temperature inversions, so it is worth checking local air quality alerts on high pollution days and limiting outdoor or open burning during those periods, while indoor stove and fireplace use with dry, seasoned wood remains the cleanest option.
