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.

We had a great experience with mulch mound! Our mulch arrived when we requested. The delivery fee was so reasonable. We’ll use them again for sure!

For a typical Middletown heating season, plan on at least a half cord for occasional use and a full cord if wood is your primary or daily heat source.

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 stone from our Middletown region page to protect garden beds through the same frost season.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack firewood off the ground on pallets or rails so Middletown's humid summers and wet spring thaw do not wick moisture back into the wood. Leave gaps between rows for airflow and angle the stack slightly so rain runs off rather than pooling. A simple top cover, like sheet metal or a tarp, keeps snow off while still letting air move through the sides during our long six month burning stretch.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Oak and hickory from around Middletown burn long and hot once fully seasoned, making them good choices for overnight coals during our coldest January stretches. Ash lights a bit faster and works well for building a quick fire before adding denser splits. A simple moisture meter reading below 20 percent tells you a piece is ready to burn clean instead of hissing and smoking on the fire.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your cord before the first frost lands around October 15, since demand climbs fast once temperatures drop and popular sizes can run low. Buying early also gives freshly split wood extra weeks to finish seasoning in your stack before you actually need it for a cold Middletown night.

Wood Heat in Middletown

Middletown sits in growing zone 6b with a heating season that stretches from mid October frost through late April, meaning wood stoves and fireplaces often run for six months straight. Southwest Ohio's humidity makes truly dry firewood hard to come by unless it has been seasoned properly, since green wood pulls moisture right back out of the air and burns dirty and cool. We season our hardwood, mostly oak, hickory, and ash sourced near Middletown, long enough to bring moisture content down so it lights easier and throws more heat per load. That matters when overnight lows settle in through January and February and you need consistent BTUs, not smoke and creosote buildup. Local seasoning also accounts for our silt loam soils and tree mix, which differ from wood cut and dried in other regions.

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 Middletown winter actually use?

With frost arriving around October 15 and lasting until late April, most households burning a couple times a week for supplemental heat go through a half cord to a full cord across the season, while daily wood stove users often need a full cord or more depending on how tight the house is.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has dried down from freshly cut, or green, to a moisture level low enough to burn hot and clean, which is especially important in our humid Ohio Valley air where wet wood struggles to dry on its own once winter sets in.

Answer

What kind of firewood species will I get in Middletown?

Expect a mix of local hardwoods common to this part of Ohio, mainly oak and hickory for long, hot burns with ash mixed in, all split and seasoned rather than a single species guarantee.

Answer

Is your firewood actually sourced near Middletown?

Yes, we source locally rather than trucking wood in from far away, which matters because moving firewood long distances is a known way invasive pests like the emerald ash borer spread into new areas.

Answer

How does delivery to my driveway work?

You choose a cord size and delivery window, we bring the order to your address and drop it loose in the driveway, and stacking is on you since we do not include that service.

Answer

How do the cord sizes compare, and what is a full cord exactly?

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 need less at once.

Answer

Are there any local rules about burning wood in Middletown?

Ohio EPA occasionally issues regional air quality advisories during winter inversions, so it is worth checking local notices on high pollution days and sticking to well seasoned wood, which burns cleaner and produces less visible smoke than green wood regardless of any advisory.
