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!

For typical occasional use through a Kannapolis winter, a half cord is usually enough, while households relying on wood heat more consistently should plan for a full cord.

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.

Areas we deliver firewood in Kannapolis, North Carolina

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your wood off the ground on pallets or a rack so Piedmont humidity does not wick moisture back into the bottom rows. Leave gaps between rows for airflow and cover just the top with a tarp, leaving the sides open so trapped moisture can escape. A woodpile that stays enclosed on all sides in our humid climate tends to mold and season poorly even after delivery.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

When building a fire, start with smaller ash or poplar splits to get flames going quickly, then add denser oak or hickory once the fire is established for a longer, hotter burn through the evening. This layered approach mimics how the wood naturally seasoned and gives you steady heat on the coldest Kannapolis nights without constant reloading.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your firewood in late summer or early fall, well before the first frost around November 1, so you are not scrambling once temperatures drop. Early ordering also means your wood has extra time to finish drying in your own storage setup before the heart of winter arrives in January and February.

Wood Heat in Kannapolis

Kannapolis winters run from the first frost around November 1 through the last frost near April 7, giving homeowners a solid five month stretch where a wood stove or fireplace gets real daily use. In zone 7b the cold snaps can turn sharp even if the season overall is mild, and burning green or half seasoned wood in those cold nights means more creosote and less heat for your effort. Our wood is seasoned hardwood, mostly oak and hickory with some ash and poplar mixed in, species that grow well in the red clay soils around Rowan and Cabarrus counties. Piedmont humidity slows down natural air drying compared to drier climates, so we season our splits well ahead of delivery instead of leaving that work to the customer. That means less smoke, a hotter burn, and fewer trips reloading the stove during a Kannapolis cold snap.

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 Kannapolis winter?

Most Kannapolis households burning a few nights a week from November through early April go through a half cord to a full cord. If you are heating a whole house with wood as a primary source rather than just enjoying occasional evening fires, plan on a full cord or more, since our frost free window closes by early April most years but cold snaps can still hit hard in January and February.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has dried down to a moisture content low enough to burn clean and hot, usually under 20 percent. In our humid Piedmont climate wood left out on its own can take six months to a year to season properly because the air does not dry it as fast as it would in a drier region. We season ours before delivery so you are not stuck burning damp splits that smoke up the chimney and waste heat.

Answer

What kinds of wood will I get with my delivery?

Expect a mix dominated by oak and hickory, both dense hardwoods common in the woodlots around Kannapolis, with some ash and poplar in the mix as well. Oak and hickory burn longer and hotter, which is useful on the coldest nights, while the ash and poplar catch quickly and are handy for building a fire before adding denser splits.

Answer

Why does it matter that the wood is sourced locally?

Firewood should always be bought and burned close to where it was cut, because hauling logs or splits long distances is one of the main ways invasive pests like the emerald ash borer spread into new areas. Our wood comes from sources near Kannapolis, which keeps that risk low and supports the local supply chain instead of trucking wood in from out of state.

Answer

How does delivery actually work, and do you stack it for me?

We deliver the wood loose to your driveway, dumped in a pile rather than stacked, so you will want space cleared ahead of time and a plan for moving it to a rack or woodshed. Stacking is not included, but the loose delivery keeps costs down and lets you organize the wood however fits your storage setup.

Answer

What is a cord, and how do your 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 a fourth of that volume, good for occasional fires, our third cord and half cord sit in between for moderate use, and the full cord is sized for a household planning to burn wood regularly all winter.

Answer

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

Kannapolis and the surrounding Cabarrus County area can see air quality advisories during still, cold winter days, so it is worth checking local burn advisories before a big fire on those days. Using well seasoned hardwood like ours produces less smoke than green wood, which helps keep your chimney and your neighbors happier during those inversion periods.
