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.

I needed 3 yards of top soil and that's what I got! Right on time and right where I asked it to be placed (Order# 2041).

For occasional fireplace use through a Kettering winter, a half cord to a full cord is usually enough, while homes leaning on wood heat as a primary source should plan for two or more full cords.

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 the yard for winter, pair your firewood order with mulch or bulk soil from our Kettering regional page to protect root systems in that silt loam soil before the ground freezes.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your firewood off the ground on pallets or rails so air can move underneath, and keep it away from your house's siding to avoid pest issues. In Kettering's humid summers and wet fall stretches, top covering with a simple tarp while leaving the sides open prevents rain soak while still letting the pile breathe and finish drying before the first frost hits.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Oak burns long and steady, making it ideal for overnight fires, while hickory throws more heat fast and is great for quickly warming up a cold house after work. Ash lights easily and burns clean, so it is a solid choice for starting fires before adding denser oak splits to keep the fire going through a long Kettering evening.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your firewood in September or early October, well before the October 17 average first frost, since demand spikes once temperatures drop and popular cord sizes can sell out fast. Ordering early also gives freshly delivered wood extra weeks to finish drying in your stack before you actually need it for a cold night.

Wood Heat in Kettering

Kettering sits in growing zone 6b at just over 1,000 feet elevation, which means a heating season that stretches from the first frost around October 17 well into spring before the last frost on April 30. That is roughly six months where a wood stove or fireplace can make a real dent in gas bills, but only if the wood is actually dry. Green wood loaded with sap and moisture just hisses and smokes in southwest Ohio's humid air, especially during the damp stretches of late fall and early spring. Our seasoned hardwood, mostly oak, hickory, and ash sourced from local silt loam woodlots, has been dried down to burn hot and clean from the first cold snap. With a heating season this long, starting with properly seasoned wood is not a luxury, it is what keeps your chimney safer and your house warmer through a real Ohio winter.

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 Kettering house need to get through winter?

Most Kettering homes using a fireplace a few nights a week get through the season on a half cord to a full cord, while homes relying on wood heat as a primary source often go through two or more full cords given our stretch from mid October to late April.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has been dried for months until moisture content drops low enough to burn efficiently, which matters a lot in our humid Ohio air where green wood can smolder, smoke up your flue, and leave creosote buildup instead of real heat.

Answer

What kinds of wood will I actually get delivered?

Expect a mix of local hardwoods common to this part of Ohio, mainly oak, hickory, and ash, all known for dense, long burning fires that hold up well through Kettering's colder January and February nights.

Answer

Is this firewood really sourced locally, and does that matter?

Yes, it is sourced near Kettering rather than trucked in from far away, which matters because hauling firewood long distances is one of the main ways pests like the emerald ash borer spread into new areas and damage local tree populations.

Answer

How does delivery to my driveway actually work?

We drop the full order loose in your driveway on the scheduled date, and stacking is on you, so it helps to have a tarp or space near the garage ready before the truck arrives.

Answer

What exactly is a cord, and how do the smaller sizes compare?

A full cord is 128 cubic feet of stacked wood, measuring 4 feet high by 4 feet deep by 8 feet long, and our quarter, third, and half cord options are simply fractions of that same stacked volume for households that do not need a full load at once.

Answer

Are there any local rules about burning wood in Kettering?

Kettering falls under the Regional Air Pollution Control Agency's jurisdiction for the Dayton area, which occasionally issues air quality advisories during winter inversions, so it is worth checking local notices on high pollution days and sticking to well seasoned wood to keep smoke output low regardless.
