About this firewood

A third of a cord of seasoned hardwood, 43 cubic feet, split and ready to burn. A steady size for regular weekend fires once the cold sets in.

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 an average Kansas City heating season, half a cord covers occasional fires while a full cord suits nightly burners through the whole October to April stretch.

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, check out our mulch and soil options sourced for the same Kansas City clay ground, ideal for insulating beds before the first frost hits.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your wood off the ground on pallets or rails so KC's humid air does not wick moisture back up into the bottom rows. Leave gaps between rows for airflow, and top the stack with a rain cover that still lets sides breathe. A stack that stays dry through our wetter spring stretches will burn far more consistently once cold weather returns in October.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Oak and hickory both benefit from a hot, well established bed of coals before you add larger splits, since they are dense and slower to catch. Start with smaller kindling pieces and let the fire build heat for ten or fifteen minutes before loading the bigger splits. This gets you a longer, steadier burn on the coldest nights.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order before the first frost hits in mid October, since that is when demand across the Kansas City area spikes and the driest, best seasoned wood gets picked over first. Ordering in September or early October also gives you a few extra weeks to get your stack properly arranged before you need it lit.

Wood Heat in Kansas City

Kansas City winters stretch from that first mid October frost into April, which means a long stove season for homes across the metro. Our seasoned hardwood is dried down to a safe moisture range before it ever reaches your driveway, which matters here because the region's humid summers can keep freshly split wood damp for months if it is not stacked and dried properly. We source oak, hickory and hackberry from woodlots near Kansas City, species that burn hot and steady through the coldest January nights. Green or under seasoned wood throws less heat, builds up creosote faster and smokes more, which is a real problem in tightly built KC neighborhoods with close set houses. Buying wood that has already gone through a full seasoning cycle means you are ready to burn the day it arrives, not months later.

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 does a typical Kansas City winter actually take?

Most homes here that burn a few nights a week from late October through early April go through a half cord to a full cord in a season. If your fireplace is your primary heat source rather than a supplement, plan closer to two full cords given how long our burn season runs.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has been split and air dried long enough for its internal moisture to drop to a safe burning range. In our humid Missouri summers, unseasoned wood can take six months to a year to dry properly on its own, so buying pre seasoned wood saves you a whole season of smoky, low heat fires.

Answer

What kinds of wood will I actually get delivered?

Expect a mix of oak, hickory and hackberry, all species common to woodlots around Kansas City. Oak and hickory in particular burn long and hot, which suits our stretch of cold nights between the October and April frost dates.

Answer

Is this firewood actually local, and does that matter?

Yes, we source wood from within the Kansas City region rather than trucking it in from far away. Keeping firewood local matters because pests like the emerald ash borer spread through moved firewood, and buying near where you burn helps protect the trees still standing in your own neighborhood.

Answer

How does delivery to my house actually work?

You choose your cord size and a delivery date, and our truck drops the wood loose in your driveway on the scheduled day. Stacking is not included, so it helps to have wheelbarrows or a stacking spot ready before the load arrives.

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, third cord and half cord options are simply fractions of that same stacked volume, so a half cord is about 64 cubic feet and a quarter cord about 32 cubic feet, letting you match the size to your storage space and how much you actually burn.

Answer

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

The Kansas City region occasionally issues air quality advisories during winter inversions, so it is worth checking local notices on high pollution days before lighting a fire. Otherwise, well seasoned hardwood burns cleaner and produces less visible smoke than green wood, which helps keep your fires within good neighbor territory.
