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.

Easy to order, great service, and great product. We enjoy the final look of a very neglected beds we inherited!

For a typical Parkersburg heating season running late October through April, most full time woodstove households order 2 to 3 full cords, while occasional fireplace use usually calls for a half cord to a full cord.

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.

Areas we deliver firewood in Parkersburg, West Virginia

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your wood off the ground on a pallet or rack, since Parkersburg's silt clay soil holds moisture and wicks it straight into a bottom row sitting on bare earth. Leave gaps between rows for airflow, and cover only the top of the stack, keeping the sides open so humidity can escape rather than getting trapped underneath a full tarp.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Oak and hickory both take a bit longer to catch than ash, so build your fire starting with smaller ash splits and add the denser oak or hickory once you have a solid bed of coals. This gives you a longer, steadier burn through cold overnight hours without constant tending.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your seasoned firewood well before the October 24 average first frost date, since demand across the Parkersburg area picks up fast once temperatures drop and supply of already seasoned wood can tighten heading into November.

Wood Heat in Parkersburg

Parkersburg winters stretch from a first frost around October 24 to a last frost near April 20, which means a long stretch of cold, damp Ohio Valley air that pulls heat out of a house fast. In a river valley at 614 feet elevation, humidity lingers, and unseasoned wood simply will not dry out in time to burn clean before the coldest stretch of January and February hits. Our firewood is cut and split well ahead of delivery so the moisture content drops before it ever reaches your rack. Local hardwoods like oak, hickory, and ash are common in this part of West Virginia and each burns differently, so knowing your species helps you plan heat output through zone 6b winters. Seasoned wood also matters here because silt clay soils and heavy river humidity keep green wood wet far longer than in drier climates. Buying wood that already reflects our local conditions means fewer smoky fires and more consistent heat all season.

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 a Parkersburg winter?

Most Parkersburg homes burning a woodstove several nights a week from late October through April go through 2 to 3 full cords in a season, while occasional fireplace users often get by on a half cord or less. Our long, humid heating season means fires often run longer into the evening than in drier climates, so it pays to order slightly more than you think you need.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has dried down to a low enough moisture content to burn efficiently, usually after 6 to 12 months of proper drying. In our river valley humidity, green wood dries much slower than in arid regions, so buying wood that is already seasoned saves you from smoky, low heat fires and creosote buildup in your chimney.

Answer

What kinds of wood will I actually get delivered?

Expect a mix of local hardwoods common to the Parkersburg area, primarily oak, hickory, and ash, all known for solid heat output and manageable smoke when properly seasoned. The exact mix can shift slightly by delivery depending on what our local sourcing has on hand that week.

Answer

Why does it matter that the firewood is sourced locally instead of trucked in from farther away?

Firewood should always be bought near where it is burned, because hauling wood long distances is one of the main ways invasive pests like the emerald ash borer spread into new areas. Sourcing near Parkersburg keeps our local ash and hardwood stands healthier and keeps your firewood free of hitchhiking pests.

Answer

How does delivery actually work, and will you stack it for me?

We deliver your chosen amount loose to your driveway on the scheduled date, but stacking is not included, so you will want to have a stacking spot picked out before the truck arrives. Most Parkersburg customers stack within a day or two of delivery to keep the pile organized and off the wet ground.

Answer

What is the difference between a quarter cord, a half cord, and a 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 scale your order to match how much wood storage space or heating need you actually have.

Answer

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

West Virginia does not run a widespread residential wood burning ban like some larger metro areas, but it is still worth checking with the City of Parkersburg or Wood County for any open burning restrictions tied to air quality alerts during stagnant winter weather patterns. Keeping your wood seasoned and dry also cuts down on the visible smoke that tends to draw neighbor complaints during those still, humid winter evenings.
