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!

Most Moline households burning occasionally do well with a half cord to a full cord, while those heating primarily with wood through the long October to May season should plan for two to three cords or more.

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

Pair your firewood order with mulch or topsoil from our Moline area page to protect garden beds before the ground freezes, since our region's clay soil benefits from added organic material heading into winter.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack firewood off the ground on a pallet or rack to keep it away from Moline's clay soil, which holds moisture and can wick dampness into your wood pile. 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. Full sun exposure speeds seasoning, so avoid stacking directly against a shaded fence line if possible.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Oak and hickory from our region take longer to catch but burn long and hot once going, making them ideal for overnight burns during Moline's coldest stretches. Test moisture by splitting a piece and checking the freshly exposed face, if it feels cool or damp to the touch, give it more seasoning time before burning it in your stove.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your firewood in late summer or early fall, well before Moline's first frost typically arrives around October 9. Wood delivered early has more time to finish drying in your stack before you need it, and you avoid the rush that hits many suppliers once the first cold snap sends everyone scrambling for a delivery.

Wood Heat in Moline

Moline sits in growing zone 5b with a heating season that typically stretches from the first frost around October 9 through the last frost near May 7, meaning many households are feeding a stove or fireplace for well over five months. Our clay soil region and Mississippi River valley humidity mean freshly cut wood holds moisture longer than in drier climates, so proper seasoning is not optional here, it is essential for a clean burn. We source hardwood species common to western Illinois including oak, hickory, and hard maple, all of which need six months to a year of drying time to burn efficiently in our humid summers and cold winters. Burning green or under seasoned wood in a Moline winter means more creosote buildup in chimneys and less heat output when you need it most. Seasoned wood ignites faster, burns hotter, and produces less smoke, which matters when temperatures drop and your stove is running daily.

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 Moline winter?

Households burning a few nights a week for supplemental heat often use around one to one and a half cords per season, while those relying on a wood stove as a primary heat source through Moline's full frost window from October to May can burn two to three cords or more. Your usage depends heavily on how often you burn and how tight your home's insulation is.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has dried for six months to a year after splitting, dropping its moisture content low enough to burn cleanly. In our humid river valley climate, wood that is not properly seasoned holds excess moisture and burns cooler and smokier, which is a real problem during long Moline cold snaps when you need consistent heat.

Answer

What kind of wood will I get with my delivery?

We deliver hardwoods sourced locally near Moline, typically oak, hickory, and hard maple, all species well suited to our zone 5b climate. These woods split cleanly, season well in our humidity, and burn hot and long once properly dried.

Answer

Why is the firewood sourced locally instead of shipped in from elsewhere?

Moving firewood long distances risks spreading invasive pests like the emerald ash borer, which has already impacted tree populations across Illinois. Buying and burning wood sourced near where you live, in this case near Moline, helps protect local forests and keeps infestations from traveling with the wood itself.

Answer

How does delivery work, and will you stack it for me?

We deliver your order loose to your driveway, but stacking is not included, so plan to have space and time set aside to move and stack the wood yourself once it arrives.

Answer

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

A full cord is 128 cubic feet of stacked wood, measured as 4 feet high by 4 feet deep by 8 feet long. Our quarter cord is one fourth of that volume, the third cord is one third, and the half cord is half, giving Moline homeowners flexible options depending on storage space and how much heating they need to get through the season.

Answer

Is there anything I should know about local burn rules or air quality in Moline?

Illinois occasionally issues air quality advisories during winter inversion events when smoke and particulates can linger close to the ground, so it is worth checking local advisories on high pollution days and considering holding off on burning until conditions clear. Burning fully seasoned wood also reduces smoke output significantly compared to green wood.
