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.

I needed 3 yards of top soil and that's what I got! Right on time and right where I asked it to be placed (Order# 2041).

For Omaha's typical heating season, occasional fire pit or fireplace use calls for a quarter to a half cord, while regular wood stove heating through the full frost window usually requires 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.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your wood off the ground on pallets or rails so air can move underneath, since Omaha's damp fall weather and heavy spring snowmelt can wick moisture back into split wood sitting directly on soil. Angle the stack slightly or cover just the top with a tarp, leaving the sides open, so airflow continues while rain and snow stay off the top rows through the winter months.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Bur oak and hackberry both burn well once seasoned, but oak takes noticeably longer to dry fully, so if you are unsure whether a piece is ready, try knocking two split pieces together. A sharp, hollow crack usually signals dry wood, while a dull thud often means there is still too much moisture inside for an efficient, clean burn.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your firewood well before the first hard frost typically arrives around October 10, since local seasoned wood supply tends to tighten up once cold weather sets in and everyone in the Omaha area starts stocking their driveways at the same time. Ordering in late summer or early fall also gives you time to adjust your cord size if your burn habits change.

Wood Heat in Omaha

Omaha winters run long, with a frost window stretching from mid October to late April, which means wood stoves and outdoor fire pits get heavy use across nearly six months. Green or half seasoned wood struggles in our humid continental climate because the moisture inside the rounds does not evaporate fast enough once cold, damp air settles in during November and December. Properly seasoned hardwood, dried for months before it reaches your driveway, burns hotter and cleaner, which matters when you are relying on it for real heat rather than ambiance. Local species like bur oak, hackberry, and honey locust are common around Omaha and each brings different burn characteristics, from oak's slow steady coals to locust's quick hot flame. Because our silty loam soils and river bottom hardwoods grow dense, well structured wood, sourcing firewood near Omaha gives you fuel that is naturally suited to our climate rather than wood trucked in from a different region. Buying seasoned and local also protects the timber that lines the Missouri and Platte river corridors from pests that hitch rides on unseasoned firewood shipped long distances.

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 Omaha winter actually use?

Homeowners who burn a few nights a week for supplemental heat or ambiance from November through April often go through a half cord to a full cord, while those relying on a wood stove as a primary heat source can use two to three full cords across our roughly six month heating season.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has been split and dried for several months so its internal moisture content drops low enough to burn efficiently, which is especially important in Omaha because our humid summers and damp fall weather slow down natural drying if wood is not given enough time before the first frost around October 10.

Answer

What kinds of wood should I expect in my delivery?

Deliveries typically include a mix of local hardwoods common to the Omaha area such as bur oak, hackberry, and honey locust, all selected for good burn quality and consistent heat output through our winter months.

Answer

Is this firewood actually sourced near Omaha, and does that matter?

Yes, our firewood is sourced locally around Omaha rather than trucked in from other regions, which matters because moving firewood long distances is one of the main ways pests like the emerald ash borer spread into new areas and threaten local tree populations.

Answer

How does delivery work once I place an order?

After you select a cord size, we schedule a delivery window and drop the wood loose in your driveway, so you will want a plan in place for moving and stacking it, since stacking is not part of the delivery service.

Answer

What cord sizes do you offer and how do they compare to a full cord?

A full cord is 128 cubic feet stacked, measuring 4 feet high by 4 feet deep by 8 feet long, and we also offer a quarter cord at roughly a quarter of that volume, a third cord, and a half cord, so you can match your order to your fireplace usage without paying for more wood than you will burn this season.

Answer

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

Omaha and the greater Douglas County area occasionally issue air quality advisories during winter inversion periods, so it is worth checking local notices before extended outdoor burning, and using well seasoned wood helps reduce smoke output regardless of conditions.
