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 most Richmond homes, a half cord to one full cord covers a typical fireplace season, while full time wood heat users should plan on three to four cords to make it through our six month cold stretch.

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 Richmond, Indiana

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your wood off the ground on pallets or racks with the bark side up, and leave the top loosely covered rather than fully wrapped in plastic. Richmond's humid summers and wet winters mean trapped moisture under a tight tarp can actually slow seasoning and invite rot, so airflow around and through the stack matters more than a complete seal.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Oak and hickory from this area burn long and hot once truly seasoned, making them ideal for overnight fires, while ash lights faster and works well for getting a cold stove going quickly. A quick moisture meter reading below 20 percent on a fresh split face is a reliable sign the wood is ready to burn cleanly.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your firewood in late summer or early fall before Richmond's first frost around October 15, since wood delivered with a head start on drying time performs far better once temperatures drop. Waiting until the first cold snap often means settling for wood that has not had enough time to properly season.

Wood Heat in Richmond

Richmond, Indiana sits in growing zone 6a with a heating season that typically runs from mid October through late April, meaning wood stoves and fireplaces here can see over six months of steady use. Wet green wood is a real problem in this part of Wayne County because our humid summers slow down drying and can leave unseasoned splits full of moisture well into winter. Seasoned hardwood, cut and split months ahead, burns hotter and cleaner in the long cold stretch between our October 15 first frost and April 20 last frost. Local species like oak, hickory, and ash have dried out over a full season under cover so they light easier and produce less creosote in chimneys during Richmond's damp winters. Buying wood that has already gone through proper seasoning means fewer trips reloading the stove and more consistent heat when temperatures drop into the teens.

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 Richmond winter actually use?

A household using a wood stove as a primary heat source through our full October to April season often burns three to four full cords, while occasional fireplace users may only need a quarter to half cord to get through the coldest months.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has been split and air dried for several months so its moisture content has dropped well below fresh cut green wood, which matters in Richmond because our humid summers can otherwise leave logs damp and hard to light once the cold sets in.

Answer

What kinds of wood will I actually get delivered?

Loads are a mix of local hardwoods common to the Wayne County area, mainly oak, hickory, and ash, all chosen for solid heat output and a clean burn in home stoves and fireplaces.

Answer

Is this firewood really sourced near Richmond, and does that matter?

Yes, all of our firewood is sourced locally near Richmond rather than trucked in from distant regions, which helps prevent spreading invasive pests like the emerald ash borer that have already damaged ash trees across Indiana.

Answer

How does delivery to my driveway actually work?

You choose a cord size and delivery date, we bring the load on a scheduled day, and the wood is dumped loose in your driveway at the spot you request, with stacking left for you to handle afterward.

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, and our quarter, one third, and half cord options are simply fractional slices of that same full stack, so a half cord is roughly 64 cubic feet and a quarter cord about 32 cubic feet.

Answer

Are there any local rules about burning wood outdoors or in my fireplace?

Richmond residents should check current Wayne County burn ordinances before any outdoor burning, and on days with poor air quality it is wise to limit unnecessary indoor wood burning as well, especially in older homes without efficient EPA certified stoves.
