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 most Kansas City, KS homes burning several nights a week from October through April, a half cord to a full cord covers a typical season comfortably.

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 Kansas City, Kansas

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your wood off the ground on pallets or rails so Kansas City's clay soil and winter moisture do not wick dampness back into your logs. Leave the top loosely covered but the sides open to airflow, since fully wrapping a stack traps humidity and slows drying. A stack that breathes will stay burn ready even after a wet spell.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Oak and hickory, the backbone of our local mix, burn long and hot but take longer to catch than lighter woods. Start fires with smaller split pieces or kindling and add larger oak splits once you have a solid bed of coals. This gives you steady overnight heat without the frustration of a stubborn cold start.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your firewood in late summer or early fall, well before the October 19 first frost hits. Demand and prices tend to climb once the first cold snap arrives, and waiting risks getting wood that has not had a full season to dry properly before you need it most.

Wood Heat in Kansas City

Kansas City, KS winters stretch from the first frost around October 19 to the last frost near April 17, which means many households run a wood stove or fireplace for five months or more. Our region's clay soil and humid summers produce dense hardwoods like oak, hickory, and hackberry, all excellent burning species once properly dried. Green wood cut from these species can hold high moisture content well into winter if not seasoned ahead of time, leading to smoky, low heat fires and creosote buildup in chimneys. We season our wood through a full Kansas City summer so the internal moisture drops before your first cold snap. That matters here because our humid summers slow drying compared to drier climates, so wood needs real time and airflow to season correctly. Buying wood that has already gone through that process saves you a winter of frustration with hard to light, sputtering logs.

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 will I actually need to get through a Kansas City winter?

Households burning a few nights a week during our roughly five month heating season, from late October through mid April, typically go through one half cord to a full cord. Daily burners or those relying on wood as a primary heat source often need one and a half to two cords.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has dried for months after splitting, dropping its moisture content low enough to burn hot and clean. In our humid Kansas City summers that drying process takes longer than in drier climates, so we season our hardwood a full season ahead so you are not stuck burning wet, hissing logs.

Answer

What kind of wood will I get with a Kansas City delivery?

Expect a mix of local hardwoods common to the area, primarily oak and hickory with some hackberry, all sourced from within the region. These species are dense, burn long, and hold heat well through cold nights.

Answer

Is your firewood really local, and does that matter?

Yes, all our wood is sourced near Kansas City rather than trucked in from distant regions. Buying local firewood matters because moving wood long distances can spread invasive pests like the emerald ash borer, which has already damaged ash trees across the Midwest.

Answer

How does delivery actually work?

We drop your order loose at the edge of your driveway on the scheduled date. Stacking is not included, so plan on some time to move and stack it yourself once it arrives.

Answer

What is a cord, and how do your size options 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, one third cord, and half cord options are simply fractions of that same measurement, so you can scale your order to your stove usage and storage space without overbuying.

Answer

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

Kansas City area air quality can prompt burn advisories during winter inversion events, so it is worth checking local notices on high pollution days before lighting an outdoor or open fire. Seasoned hardwood burns cleaner and produces less visible smoke than green wood, which also helps keep your fires within neighborly and environmental limits.
