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.

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 most Lee's Summit households, a half cord covers a typical season of regular but not constant fires, while full time wood heat users should plan on one to two 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.

Areas we deliver firewood in Lee's Summit, Missouri

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your wood off the ground on a pallet or rack so air can move underneath, since Lee's Summit's silt loam soil holds moisture and can wick dampness into a bottom row sitting directly on the ground. Cover just the top of the stack, leaving the sides open. Full coverage traps humidity from our summer storms and slows drying, so a simple tarp over the top row works better than a full wrap.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Oak and hickory, the most common species in our deliveries, both burn long and hot but take a little longer to catch than softer woods. Start your fire with smaller kindling pieces and let the coal bed build before adding a full split, and you will get a steadier overnight burn through the coldest Lee's Summit nights.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your firewood in September if you can, ahead of the October 20 first frost. Early buyers get first pick of split sizes and avoid the rush that hits once temperatures drop and everyone in Lee's Summit remembers they need wood at the same time.

Wood Heat in Lee's Summit

Lee's Summit winters run from the first frost around October 20 through the last frost near April 15, which adds up to nearly six months where a wood stove or fireplace gets real use. That long stretch means the difference between seasoned and green wood shows up fast in your chimney and your heat output. Our hardwood is dried down to burn cleanly through the humid Missouri summers and into the cold snaps that follow, so you are not fighting wet wood on a January night. Local oak and hickory hold heat well through the area's silt loam covered landscape and elevation near 1040 feet, where cold air settles into low spots and driveways. Buying wood that has already seasoned near Lee's Summit means it is ready to burn the day it hits your driveway, not weeks 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 do I actually need to get through a Lee's Summit winter?

Most homeowners here who burn a few nights a week through the October to April season use somewhere between a half cord and a full cord. If wood heat is your primary source through the whole stretch, plan closer to two full cords, especially during colder snaps that settle into our lower elevation areas.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has dried enough to burn efficiently instead of hissing and smoking. In our humid Missouri summers, green wood can take six months to a year to dry properly, so buying seasoned wood skips that wait and gives you cleaner burns and less creosote buildup right away.

Answer

What kind of wood will I actually get delivered?

Expect a mix of local hardwoods common to the Lee's Summit area, mainly oak and hickory with some ash and maple mixed in depending on availability. These species are dense, burn long, and hold coals well overnight, which matters during our colder stretches.

Answer

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

Yes, all of our firewood is sourced near Lee's Summit rather than trucked in from far away. Moving firewood long distances is how pests like the emerald ash borer spread into new areas, so keeping wood local protects the trees in our own neighborhoods.

Answer

How does delivery actually work once I order?

You choose your cord size, schedule a delivery date, and we drop the wood loose in your driveway. Stacking isn't included, so many customers plan to move it to a rack or covered spot within a day or two of delivery.

Answer

What is the difference between a quarter cord, a half cord, and a full cord?

A full cord is 128 cubic feet, stacked 4 feet high by 4 feet deep by 8 feet long. Our quarter cord is roughly a quarter of that volume, our third cord and half cord scale up from there, giving you options depending on how much storage space or burning you plan to do this season.

Answer

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

Lee's Summit generally allows residential wood burning, but it is worth checking for any regional air quality advisories during the Kansas City metro's occasional ozone or particulate alert days, especially in still, cold air conditions when smoke can linger in low areas.
