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.

For O'Fallon's typical heating season running late October through mid April, occasional burners usually need a half cord while daily users should budget one to two full 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 prepping for cold weather, consider topping off garden beds with mulch or hardwood bark from our O'Fallon materials page to protect roots through the same frost window your firewood is keeping you warm against.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your firewood off the ground on pallets or a rack, and cover only the top with a tarp so air can still move through the sides. O'Fallon's humid summers and wet springs mean uncovered stacks trap moisture, but fully wrapped stacks trap it too. A simple top cover with open sides keeps wood dry and properly seasoned all winter.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Oak and hickory, common in our local deliveries, burn slower and hotter than softer woods, making them ideal for overnight burns on cold O'Fallon nights. Test moisture by splitting a piece open, if the inside feels cool and slightly damp to the touch, give it more time before burning it as your primary overnight fuel.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your firewood in late summer or early September, well before O'Fallon's first frost around October 20. Ordering early means you are not scrambling for delivery once temperatures drop and demand across St. Charles County spikes, and it gives your wood extra weeks to finish drying in your storage rack before you need it.

Wood Heat in O'Fallon

O'Fallon winters run from the first frost around October 20 through the last frost near April 12, which means a long stretch of cold nights when a wood stove or fireplace gets real use. Missouri's humid continental climate makes proper seasoning critical, because wood that has not dried below 20 percent moisture will hiss, smoke, and struggle to throw heat in our damp air. Local hardwoods like oak, hickory, and hard maple are common in St. Charles County and split well while offering long, hot burns once seasoned six months to a year. Green or under seasoned wood is especially frustrating here because our humid summers slow the drying process compared to drier climates. Buying wood already seasoned means you are ready to burn the moment that October chill sets in, without waiting out a wet log in your fireplace.

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 will I need to get through an O'Fallon winter?

Most O'Fallon households burning a few nights a week from late October through early April go through a half cord to a full cord. If your stove is your primary heat source, plan closer to two full cords, since our frost window runs nearly six months.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has dried for several months to a year, dropping its moisture content so it lights easily and burns hot instead of smoldering. In our humid Missouri summers, green wood dries more slowly than in drier climates, so buying pre seasoned wood saves you from a smoky, low heat fire when temperatures drop.

Answer

What kind of wood will I get with a delivery?

Expect a mix of local hardwoods common to St. Charles County, primarily oak and hickory with some hard maple, all split and seasoned for solid, long burning heat.

Answer

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

Yes, our firewood is sourced near O'Fallon rather than trucked in from far away. Keeping firewood local helps prevent the spread of invasive pests like the emerald ash borer, which has already damaged ash trees across Missouri when infested wood gets moved between regions.

Answer

How does delivery to my driveway actually work?

We schedule a delivery window, then drop your seasoned hardwood loose at the edge of your driveway. Stacking is not included, so plan to move it to a covered, dry spot within a day or two, especially before rain or an early cold front.

Answer

What is a cord, and how do your sizes compare?

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 roughly a quarter of that volume, our third cord about a third, and our half cord half of a full stack, so you can match your storage space and burn rate without overbuying.

Answer

Are there any local rules I should know about burning wood in O'Fallon?

O'Fallon does not currently restrict residential wood burning outright, but on high pollution advisory days in the greater St. Louis air quality region, it is good practice to limit unnecessary burning, especially if you have neighbors nearby with respiratory sensitivities.
