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 a typical Paducah heating season, occasional fireplace use calls for a quarter to half cord, while homeowners heating primarily with wood should plan on a full cord or more to comfortably make it to the April thaw.

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 winter, check out our mulch and soil options for the same Paducah delivery area, ideal for insulating garden beds before that October 26 first frost settles in.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your wood off the ground on pallets or rails and keep it under a simple cover that shields the top while leaving the sides open to airflow. Paducah's humidity means fully enclosed tarps trap moisture against the wood and invite mold. A north or east facing spot away from house siding also reduces the chance of pests finding their way indoors during our long cold season.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Oak and hickory from around Paducah burn slow and hot, making them ideal for overnight coals, while smaller maple pieces catch faster and are great for building an initial flame. Split a few extra thin pieces from your delivery to use as kindling, so you are not relying on paper alone on a damp, humid morning.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order before late September if you want your wood ready well ahead of that October 26 first frost. Demand climbs fast once temperatures drop, and waiting until the first cold snap means you may be burning wood that has not had enough time to finish seasoning properly for our humid climate.

Wood Heat in Paducah

Paducah winters run from that late October first frost around October 26 through early April, giving homeowners a long stretch where a woodstove or fireplace gets real daily use. Our region's humidity means green or partially dried wood struggles to burn clean, so we only deliver hardwood that has already been split and seasoned down to a safe burn moisture level. Local favorites like oak, hickory, and hard maple hold heat well through the long cold nights common to western Kentucky. Because the Jackson Purchase area sits low and humid compared to drier climates, wood needs extra time under cover to season properly before it ever reaches your driveway. That is exactly what we handle before delivery, so you are not stuck feeding a smoky, hissing fire in January.

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 Paducah house burn through the winter?

Most Paducah homeowners burning a couple nights a week from late October through early April go through about half a cord to a full cord, while those relying on wood as a primary heat source often use one to two full cords across the season.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has dried down from freshly cut, or green, to a low enough moisture content to burn hot and clean, which matters in our humid Ohio Valley climate because green wood here can take much longer to dry on its own and tends to smolder and smoke if burned too soon.

Answer

What kinds of firewood will I get with a Paducah delivery?

Expect a mix of hardwoods common to western Kentucky woodlots, mainly oak, hickory, and hard maple, all known for dense, long burning coals that suit our multi month heating season.

Answer

Is your firewood actually local, and does that matter?

Yes, we source from woodlots near Paducah rather than trucking wood in from far away, because moving firewood long distances is a known way invasive pests like the emerald ash borer spread into new areas, so buying local and burning local protects the trees in your own neighborhood.

Answer

How does delivery actually work once I order?

You choose your cord size, we schedule a delivery date, and our truck drops the wood loose in your driveway, with stacking left to the homeowner since we do not include that service.

Answer

How do your cord sizes 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 our quarter cord, third cord, and half cord options are simply fractions of that same stacked volume, giving you a smaller footprint for a smaller stove or occasional fires.

Answer

Are there any local burn rules I should know about in Paducah?

McCracken County does not run a formal daily burn ban program like some larger metro areas, but on high humidity, stagnant air days it is worth checking local air quality advisories before a long burn, especially if you are near neighbors in town.
