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.

Ordered Dirt. Received Dirt. Would Buy Again.

For most Montgomery homes, a half cord to a full cord covers a typical heating season depending on how often you use your fireplace or stove.

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 for winter, consider pairing your firewood order with a load of mulch or soil from our Montgomery materials page to protect garden beds before the first frost hits in mid November.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your firewood off the ground on a pallet or rack so air can move underneath, since Montgomery's humidity keeps ground moisture lingering longer than in drier climates. Leave gaps between rows for airflow and cover just the top of the stack, not the sides, so moisture can still escape. A stack pushed too tightly against a fence or wall traps humidity and slows seasoning even further.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Oak and hickory both burn long and hot once fully seasoned, making them solid choices for overnight fires during Montgomery's colder snaps, while pecan tends to catch faster and works well for building up a bed of coals early in the evening. Mixing species lets you get a quick start with pecan, then bank the fire with oak or hickory for lasting heat as temperatures drop after sunset.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your firewood well before the first frost typically arrives around November 18, since demand picks up fast once nights turn cold and popular sizes can run low. Buying early also gives freshly delivered wood extra weeks to finish drying out in Montgomery's humid air before you actually need it for a fire.

Wood Heat in Montgomery

Montgomery winters are short compared to the rest of the country, with a heating window running roughly from mid November to early March, but the humidity that settles over the Gulf Coastal Plain makes green or half seasoned wood a real problem for local chimneys. Wood cut and split here needs real time to drop its moisture content because our thick, muggy summers slow down the drying process compared to drier climates. That is why our firewood is seasoned well before delivery, so it lights faster and burns hotter on the cold snaps that hit central Alabama. Local hardwoods like oak, hickory, and pecan are common in this region and each brings different burn times and heat output to your fireplace or wood stove. Buying wood that has already gone through a proper seasoning cycle means less creosote buildup in your flue during our humid winters. With Montgomery's mild but damp cold season, well seasoned local hardwood makes the difference between a smoky, sputtering fire and one that actually heats the room.

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 Montgomery winter?

Most Montgomery households burning a few nights a week from late November through early March use somewhere between a half cord and a full cord. If you run your fireplace or stove most nights during our colder stretches, plan closer to a full cord to avoid running out mid season.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has dried down to a low moisture content after being cut and split, usually six months to a year depending on species and weather. In Montgomery's humid climate this step matters even more because green wood dries slower here than in drier regions, and burning it produces more smoke, less heat, and more creosote buildup in your chimney.

Answer

What kind of wood will I actually get?

Our firewood is sourced from hardwoods common to the Montgomery area, mainly oak, hickory, and pecan, all known for solid heat output and reasonably long burn times once properly seasoned.

Answer

Is this firewood really local, and does that matter?

Yes, we source close to Montgomery rather than trucking wood in from far away. Moving firewood long distances can spread invasive pests like the emerald ash borer, so keeping wood local protects the trees in our own neighborhoods and parks.

Answer

How does delivery to my house actually work?

You pick your cord size, we schedule a delivery date, and the wood is dropped loose in your driveway. We do not stack it for you, so plan on moving it to your storage spot yourself or with some help.

Answer

What is 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 one fourth of that volume, our third cord is one third, and our half cord is exactly half, so you can size your order to match how much wood your Montgomery home actually burns through in a season.

Answer

Are there any local rules I should know about burning wood outdoors or in my fireplace?

Montgomery follows Alabama's general open burning guidelines, which restrict outdoor burning during certain conditions and require basic safety precautions like keeping fires attended and away from structures. For indoor fireplace and stove use, well seasoned wood like ours produces less smoke, which helps keep things simpler if the area ever issues an air quality advisory during a stagnant weather pattern.
