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 most Murray homes, a half cord to a full cord covers a standard heating season, while primary wood heat users should budget closer to two 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.

Complete Your Outdoor Project

While you are planning for winter, consider pairing your firewood order with mulch or bagged soil from our Murray area page to get your beds tucked in before that October 28 frost arrives.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your firewood off the ground on a pallet or rack to keep moisture from wicking up from Murray's damp silt loam soil. Leave the top loosely covered but the sides open so air can move through the stack. Western Kentucky humidity means fully sealed tarps trap moisture and can actually slow drying or invite mold, so airflow matters more than full coverage here.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Oak and hickory from around Murray burn long and hot but take longer to catch, so build your fire with a smaller ash or softer kindling layer underneath to get coals going before adding the denser splits. A quick moisture check is to knock two pieces together, well seasoned wood gives a sharp crack while green wood sounds dull and thudding.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your firewood in late summer or early fall before the October 28 frost hits Murray, since demand spikes hard once temperatures drop and popular cord sizes can sell out fast. Ordering early also gives freshly split wood extra weeks to finish drying in your stack before you actually need it for the first cold nights.

Wood Heat in Murray

Murray sits in growing zone 7b at about 515 feet elevation, which means a heating season that typically stretches from that first frost around October 28 through the last frost near April 10, over five months of cold snaps and damp Kentucky Lake air. Western Kentucky's humidity makes unseasoned wood a real problem, green logs simply will not dry fast enough between rain systems to burn clean before you need them. Local hardwoods like oak, hickory, and ash are the backbone of firewood around Calloway County, and they need six months to a year of proper seasoning to shed enough moisture for a hot, efficient fire. Burning wet wood in this climate means more creosote buildup in chimneys and flues, which is a real chimney fire risk during our long, damp winters. Buying seasoned wood that has already done its drying time here in Murray means you are ready to burn the day it hits your driveway.

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 need to get through a Murray winter?

Most Murray households burning a few nights a week from November through March use around one to one and a half cords for the season. If wood heat is your primary source through our roughly five month heating stretch, plan closer to two to three cords depending on your stove's efficiency and how cold the winter runs.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has dried for at least six months to a year, dropping its moisture content low enough to burn hot and clean. In Murray's humid climate, green wood dries slowly and often will not be ready in time for winter, so buying wood that is already seasoned protects your chimney and gives you a better fire from the first load.

Answer

What kind of wood will I actually get delivered?

Expect a mix of local hardwoods common to the Purchase region, mainly oak, hickory, and ash, all split and seasoned. These species are prized locally for burning long and hot, which suits the length of a typical Murray winter.

Answer

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

Yes, our wood is sourced near Murray rather than trucked in from out of state. Keeping firewood local matters because moving wood long distances is how invasive pests like the emerald ash borer spread from one region to another, so buying and burning near where the wood was cut protects Calloway County's trees.

Answer

How does delivery to my house work?

You choose your cord size and a delivery date, and we drop the wood loose in your driveway on schedule. Stacking is not included, so plan to move it to your storage 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 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 scale your order to match how much wood storage space you have and how much you burn each season.

Answer

Are there any local burn rules I should know about in Murray?

Calloway County does not currently run a formal air quality burn ban program like larger metro areas, but standard Kentucky open burning rules still apply for yard debris. For indoor wood stoves and fireplaces, well seasoned wood is your best tool for keeping smoke output low and staying a good neighbor during still, humid winter evenings.
