How Much Firewood Do I Need?
For a typical Newark heating season running mid October through late April, most regular wood burners should plan on 2 to 4 full cords, while occasional fireplace users often do fine with a half cord or quarter cord.
What is a 1/4 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.
What is a 1/3 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.
What is a 1/2 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.

While you are prepping for the cold, consider a load of mulch or bagged soil from our Newark area page to protect garden beds before that October 15 frost date arrives.
Newark's freeze thaw cycles and damp falls mean firewood stacked directly on soil will wick up moisture and rot faster than you would expect. Raise your stack off the ground with pallets or a rack, keep the top covered but the sides open for airflow, and position the pile where it gets afternoon sun to help fight the region's humidity swings between seasons.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Oak and hickory, common around Licking County, burn hot and long but take a bit more effort to get going. Start your fire with smaller maple or cherry pieces if you have them, then add the denser oak and hickory once you have a solid bed of coals, which will carry you through a cold Newark night without constant tending.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Because our heating season stretches from mid October into late April, ordering in late summer or early fall means better selection of cord sizes and delivery dates before the first frost rush hits. Waiting until the first cold snap often means longer lead times as everyone in Newark scrambles for wood at once.
Wood Heat in Newark
Newark sits in growing zone 6a at nearly 869 feet elevation, which means a heating season that often runs from mid October through late April, well past the average October 15 first frost. That is six months of cold snaps where a wood stove or fireplace insert can take real pressure off a furnace. Our seasoned hardwood is dried down before delivery so it lights fast and burns hot instead of hissing and smoking like green wood cut this fall. Local species such as oak, hickory, and hard maple are common in the silt loam soils around Licking County, and they hold heat well through long winter nights. Because central Ohio humidity swings from muggy summers to dry cold snaps, wood that has not been properly seasoned tends to reabsorb moisture and burn poorly, so we season ours specifically for this climate.
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 Newark winter?
Most Newark households burning a few nights a week from October through April go through about 2 to 3 full cords, while daily wood heat users often need 4 or more. If you only burn occasionally for ambiance, a half cord or even a quarter cord may carry you through the season.
Answer
What does seasoned firewood actually mean, and why does it matter here?
Seasoned means the wood has dried to a low enough moisture content to burn cleanly instead of smoldering. In our humid Ohio climate, freshly cut green wood can take six months to a year to dry properly, so buying wood that is already seasoned means you are not stuck burning damp logs during a January cold snap.
Answer
What kinds of wood will I get with a Newark delivery?
Expect a mix of hardwoods common to Licking County's silt loam soils, primarily oak, hickory, and hard maple, with occasional ash or cherry mixed in. These species are dense and burn longer than softer woods, which matters when you are trying to keep a fire going overnight.
Answer
Is this firewood actually sourced near Newark?
Yes, all of our firewood is cut and seasoned locally rather than trucked in from out of state. Keeping firewood local helps prevent the spread of pests like the emerald ash borer, which has already devastated ash trees across Ohio when infested wood was moved between regions.
Answer
How does delivery actually work?
You choose a cord size and delivery date, and our truck drops the wood loose in your driveway. We do not stack it, so it helps to have a tarp or storage rack ready if rain or an early snow is in the forecast.
Answer
What is the difference between a quarter cord, a half cord, and a full cord?
A full cord is 128 cubic feet, stacked 4 feet high by 4 feet deep by 8 feet long. Our quarter cord is a quarter of that volume, our third cord and half cord scale up from there, so you can match your purchase to how much storage space and burning time you actually need.
Answer
Are there any local rules about burning wood I should know about?
Ohio EPA occasionally issues air quality advisories during winter temperature inversions when smoke can settle close to the ground, so it is worth checking local advisories on especially still, cold days. Keeping your wood well seasoned also reduces smoke output, which helps you stay a good neighbor during those inversion periods.
