Ordered Dirt. Received Dirt. Would Buy Again.

For a typical Owensboro heating season running late October through mid April, plan on a half cord for occasional use and one to two full cords if your woodstove is your primary heat source.

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.

Placing an order online was so easy. Delivery was on time. When the driver realized we had a newly poured driveway they erred on the side of caution and opted not ti drive in it. The company even sent me a message explaining that call. Would recommend!

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your wood off the ground on pallets or rails so Owensboro's humid summers and wet fall weather do not wick moisture back into split logs. Leave the top loosely covered but the sides open to airflow, since fully tarping a stack traps humidity and slows seasoning. A stack in full sun near your driveway will stay drier through our long, damp stretches than one tucked against a shaded fence line.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Oak and hickory both burn long and hot once truly seasoned, making them ideal for overnight coal beds during Owensboro's cold January stretches. Hard maple lights faster and works well for building a quick evening fire. Mixing species lets you match your burn to the moment, hot maple to start, then oak or hickory added once you have a solid coal base for lasting heat.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your firewood well before the first frost typically arrives around October 27, since demand climbs fast once temperatures drop and local seasoned supply tightens. Buying in September or early October also gives any slightly under seasoned wood a few extra weeks of dry fall air to finish drying before you need it for a cold night.

Wood Heat in Owensboro

Owensboro sits in growing zone 6b at about 393 feet elevation, which means a heating season that stretches from late October frosts through mid April lows. That is nearly six months where a woodstove or fireplace insert can be doing real work in Daviess County homes. The Ohio River valley's humidity keeps freshly cut wood from drying on its own, so firewood that has not been properly seasoned will hiss, smoke, and struggle to hold a coal bed on a cold January night. Local hardwoods like oak, hickory, and hard maple are common in this part of Kentucky and they need six months to a year of covered, airy seasoning before they burn clean. Buying wood that has already been split and seasoned means you skip the guesswork and get consistent heat from the first cold snap through the last frost in April.

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 actually need to get through an Owensboro winter?

With roughly six months between our late October frost and mid April thaw, a household burning several nights a week typically goes through one to two full cords. Occasional weekend fires might only need a quarter or half cord to see you through.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has dried for six months to a year after splitting, dropping its moisture content low enough to burn hot and clean. In our humid river valley climate, green wood dries slowly and can smolder or creosote up your chimney, so seasoning is not optional here, it is essential.

Answer

What kinds of wood will I get with a local Owensboro delivery?

Expect a mix of oak, hickory, and hard maple, the hardwoods that grow throughout Daviess County and the surrounding river bottoms. These species are dense, split well, and give long, steady burn times that suit our cold snaps.

Answer

Is this firewood actually sourced near Owensboro?

Yes, all our firewood is cut and split locally near Owensboro. Moving firewood long distances can spread pests like the emerald ash borer into new forests, so keeping wood local protects the hardwood stands you see along the Ohio River right now.

Answer

How does delivery to my driveway actually work?

We schedule a drop off date, arrive with your chosen cord size, and dump the wood loose in the driveway location you specify. Stacking is not included, so plan on moving it to your storage spot before or right after delivery.

Answer

What is the difference between a quarter cord, half cord, and 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 size your order to match your woodstove use and storage space.

Answer

Are there any local rules I should know about burning wood in Owensboro?

Daviess County does not run a formal burn ban program like some larger metro areas, but on stagnant, humid air days it is good practice to keep your fires smaller and hotter burning rather than smoldering, since dense river valley air holds smoke closer to the ground.
