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.

Highest compliments. Great driver.
Website is easy to navigate. Just a seamless process. 5 stars!!

For an average Olathe heating season, a half cord to a full cord covers occasional to regular fireplace use, while dedicated wood heat households should plan on 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 prepping your property for winter, pair your firewood order with mulch or bulk stone from our Olathe area page to protect beds through the freeze thaw cycles common in our clay soil.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your wood off the ground on pallets or a rack so Kansas humidity and melting snow do not wick moisture back into the bottom layer. Leave gaps between rows for airflow, and cover only the top with a tarp, keeping the sides open so trapped moisture can escape. A stack tucked against a south facing wall will season and dry faster through our damp winter stretches.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Oak and hickory both take a little longer to catch but reward you with long, steady coals perfect for overnight burns during Olathe cold snaps. Start fires with smaller split pieces or kindling, then add denser splits once you have a solid coal bed going. A moisture meter reading under 20 percent on a fresh split face tells you the wood is ready to burn clean.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your wood well before the October 28 average first frost, since demand climbs fast once temperatures drop and delivery slots fill up. Ordering in late summer or early fall also gives any slightly less dry splits extra weeks to finish seasoning in your own stack before you need them lit.

Wood Heat in Olathe

Olathe winters run from the first frost around October 28 through the last frost near April 11, which means a long stretch of chilly nights when a wood stove or fire pit gets real use. Kansas humidity and our heavy clay soils keep freshly cut wood wet for months, so unseasoned logs thrown in a stack this fall will still hiss and smoke come January. We season our hardwood well ahead of delivery so the moisture content drops low enough for a clean, hot burn instead of a smoky, creosote heavy one. Local species like oak, hickory, and hedge apple are dense and burn long, which matters when you are trying to get through a Zone 6b cold snap without constantly reloading. Buying wood that has already dried out also means you are not fighting Kansas humidity swings once 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 does a typical Olathe winter actually use?

Most Olathe households burning a few nights a week from November through March go through about one to one and a half cords, though homeowners who heat primarily with wood during our cold snaps often use two cords or more.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has been dried for months so its internal moisture is low, which is important in our humid Kansas climate because green wood here can take a full season or longer to dry on its own and burns dirty and smoky in the meantime.

Answer

What kinds of wood will I actually get?

Expect a mix of local hardwoods common around Olathe, mainly oak and hickory with some hedge apple mixed in, all of which are dense species that hold heat well through long Kansas winter nights.

Answer

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

Yes, all of our wood is sourced near Olathe, which matters because hauling firewood long distances is how invasive pests like the emerald ash borer spread from town to town, so buying and burning local protects the trees in your own neighborhood.

Answer

How does delivery to my driveway work?

You choose your cord size and a delivery date, and our truck drops the wood loose in your driveway, ready for you to stack, since stacking itself is not included.

Answer

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

A full cord is 128 cubic feet of stacked wood, measuring 4 feet high by 4 feet deep by 8 feet long, and our quarter cord, third cord, and half cord are simply fractions of that same stacked volume, so a half cord is roughly 64 cubic feet.

Answer

Are there any local rules I should know about before burning?

Johnson County occasionally issues air quality advisories during winter inversions, so it is worth checking local notices on high pollution days and holding off on burning until conditions clear.
