How Much Firewood Do I Need?
For a typical Lafayette household burning several nights a week from first frost to last frost, a half cord to full cord usually covers the season, while daily burners should plan for a full cord or more.
What is a 1/4 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.
What is a 1/3 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.
What is a 1/2 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.

While you are prepping for winter, consider pairing your firewood order with mulch or soil from our Lafayette regional page to protect garden beds through the same long frost window that shapes our heating season.
Stack your delivered firewood off the ground on pallets or rails so air can move underneath, since Lafayette's silt loam soils hold moisture and can wick dampness into a bottom row sitting directly on the driveway or yard. Angle the stack slightly and cover only the top with a tarp, leaving the sides open so humid Wabash Valley air can escape rather than getting trapped against the wood.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Oak and hickory from local woodlots burn longer and hotter than ash, making them better choices for overnight fires during Lafayette's coldest stretches in January and February. Ash lights faster and works well for kindling a fire or for milder evenings, so mixing species in your stove can help you manage both quick starts and steady overnight heat.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Order your firewood well before the first frost date of October 10, since demand across Tippecanoe County climbs fast once temperatures drop and well seasoned wood can sell out early in a long cold season. Ordering in late summer also gives any slightly less dry splits extra weeks to finish seasoning before you need them for a hard freeze.
Wood Heat in Lafayette
Lafayette winters run long, with frost arriving by mid October and lingering into late April, which means your woodstove or fireplace may see six months of steady use. Silt loam soils and Wabash Valley humidity mean freshly cut wood holds moisture much longer than people expect, so burning green wood here leads to smoky, low heat fires and heavy creosote buildup. Our seasoned hardwood is dried down to burn ready moisture levels before it ever reaches your driveway. Local species like oak, hickory, and ash are common in Tippecanoe County woodlots and split well for dense, long burning fuel. Because our heating season is so extended, starting with properly seasoned wood from the first cold snap through the last spring frost makes a real difference in comfort and chimney safety.
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

Answer
How much firewood do I actually need for a Lafayette winter?
With frost typically arriving by October 10 and lasting until late April, most Lafayette households burning a few nights a week go through one half to one full cord per season, while daily wood burners often use two cords or more to get through our full six month heating window.
Answer
What does seasoned firewood mean and why does it matter here?
Seasoned means the wood has dried to a low enough moisture content to burn hot and clean, which matters in our humid Wabash Valley climate because freshly split wood can take a full year or more to dry properly outdoors, and burning it too early leads to smoke, poor heat output, and creosote buildup in your flue.
Answer
What kind of wood will I get with a Lafayette delivery?
Our firewood is sourced from hardwoods common to Tippecanoe County woodlots, mainly oak, hickory, and ash, all of which are dense and split well, giving you a hot, long lasting burn suited to central Indiana's cold snaps.
Answer
Is this firewood actually local, and does that matter?
Yes, our wood is sourced near Lafayette rather than trucked in from far away, which matters because moving firewood long distances is one of the main ways invasive pests like the emerald ash borer spread from one region to another, putting local ash trees at risk.
Answer
How is the firewood delivered to my house?
We drop the load loose in your driveway rather than stacking it, so you will want a clear, accessible spot ready and a plan to move and stack it within a day or two, especially with Lafayette's fall rains rolling in before the first frost.
Answer
How do your cord sizes compare, and what is a full cord exactly?
A full cord is 128 cubic feet of stacked wood, measured as 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, so you can scale your order to match your woodstove use and storage space without guessing.
Answer
Are there any local rules I should know about before burning firewood?
Tippecanoe County does not impose a standing daily burn ban for home heating fires, but it is worth checking local air quality advisories during winter inversion events, which can trap smoke close to the ground in the Wabash Valley and make heavy nighttime burning less pleasant for neighbors.
