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.

For steady heating through Lincoln's six month cold season, most households order a half cord to a full cord, while occasional burners do well with a quarter or third 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.

Complete Your Outdoor Project

While you're planning for winter, check out our mulch and soil options sourced for Lincoln's silty clay loam, ideal for insulating garden beds before the ground freezes.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your wood off the ground on pallets or rails so Lincoln's damp spring thaw and winter snowmelt don't wick moisture back into split logs. Leave gaps between rows for airflow, and cover only the top of the stack with a tarp, keeping the sides open so humidity can escape rather than getting trapped against the bark.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Oak burns slow and steady, making it your best bet for overnight coals during Lincoln's coldest stretches, while ash lights faster and works well for building a quick, hot fire. Mixing the two in your firebox gives you a fast start with lasting heat, which is especially useful on nights when temperatures drop fast after sunset.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your wood in late summer or early fall, well before Lincoln's first frost typically arrives around October 10. Ordering early means your wood has more time to finish drying in your stack and you avoid the rush that hits local suppliers once the first cold snap sends everyone scrambling for a delivery at once.

Wood Heat in Lincoln

Lincoln winters run long, with a frost window that typically opens by mid October and doesn't close until late April, meaning many homes are running a wood stove or fireplace for six months or more. Our firewood is seasoned hardwood, mostly Nebraska oak, ash, and hackberry sourced from local yards, cut and split well ahead of the burning season so moisture content drops before it ever reaches your driveway. Green wood struggles to season quickly here because Lincoln's humidity swings and short shoulder seasons don't give freshly split logs much drying time before the first hard freeze. Burning wood that hasn't dried properly means more creosote buildup, more smoke, and a lot less heat output on the coldest nights. Because our supply is regional, it also seasons in conditions similar to what you'll be burning in, which matters more than people expect. For a Lincoln heating season, dry wood isn't a luxury, it's the difference between a stove that throws real heat and one that just smolders.

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 to get through a Lincoln winter?

It depends on how often you burn, but a household using a wood stove as a primary heat source through Lincoln's full October to April season often goes through a full cord to a cord and a half. Folks who burn occasionally on weekends or for ambiance usually do fine with a quarter or a third of a cord.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has been split and dried for months, dropping its moisture content well below what freshly cut green wood carries. In Lincoln's climate, unseasoned wood struggles to dry fast enough once the weather turns cold and damp, so buying pre seasoned wood ensures you're getting logs that light easily and burn hot instead of hissing and smoking.

Answer

What kind of wood will I actually get delivered?

Most of our loads are a mix of Nebraska oak, ash, and hackberry, all common hardwoods around Lincoln that split well and burn long and hot, which is exactly what you want for overnight burns in a cold snap.

Answer

Is your firewood really local, and does that matter?

Yes, everything is sourced from yards near Lincoln rather than trucked in from out of state. Buying local firewood is important because moving wood long distances is one of the main ways pests like the emerald ash borer spread into new areas, and Lincoln's ash trees are already under pressure from that insect.

Answer

How does delivery to my house actually work?

You choose your cord size and a delivery window, and our truck drops the wood loose right at the edge of your driveway. Stacking isn't included, so plan on having a tarp or space ready if you can't get to it the same day.

Answer

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

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 is roughly a quarter of that volume, our third cord and half cord scale up from there, so you can match your purchase to how much stacking space and burning time you actually need.

Answer

Are there any local rules about burning firewood in Lincoln?

Lincoln occasionally issues air quality advisories during winter inversions when smoke gets trapped close to the ground, so it's worth checking local advisories on high pollution days and holding off on non essential burning until conditions clear.
