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 have ordered twice now, a pleasure to deal with, easy and fast delivery, beautiful mulch!

For a typical Rome heating season, plan on a half cord for occasional use and up to a full cord if you burn several nights a week through the coldest months.

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 to keep it away from Rome's damp red clay soil, which holds moisture and can wick dampness back into your stack. Leave gaps between rows for airflow, and cover just the top with a tarp rather than wrapping the whole pile, since trapped humidity under a full cover can undo months of seasoning fast in our muggy climate.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Oak takes a bit longer to catch than hickory, so start your fire with a few smaller hickory splits to get coals going before adding oak for a longer, steadier burn overnight. A simple moisture meter can help confirm your wood is truly ready, aim for readings under 20 percent before relying on it as your main heat source.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your firewood in late summer or early fall, well before that first November frost hits Rome, since demand climbs fast once temperatures drop and delivery windows can fill up quickly during the first cold snap of the season.

Wood Heat in Rome

Rome winters run from the first frost around November 6 to the last frost near April 18, giving local households roughly five months of steady heating season demand. That stretch of Zone 8a cold snaps mixed with damp Appalachian foothill air means unseasoned wood struggles to dry out once it hits your rack. Our firewood is split and seasoned well before delivery, so it lights fast and burns hot instead of hissing and smoking in your fireplace or insert. Oak and hickory sourced from the hills around Floyd County hold up well through Rome's humid stretches and give a long, steady burn on the coldest nights. Because the wood is cut and dried locally, it has already adjusted to the same moisture conditions it will burn in, which matters more here than in drier climates.

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 Rome winter?

Most Rome households burning a few nights a week from November through early April go through a half to a full cord, depending on how often the fireplace or stove is running and how well insulated the house is. Folks who rely on wood heat as a primary source often plan for a full cord or more.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has dried down to a lower moisture content after being split and stored, typically six months to a year. In Rome's humid climate, green wood can smolder and creosote up your chimney fast, so we deliver wood that is already seasoned and ready to burn clean.

Answer

What kinds of wood will I get with a Rome delivery?

Expect a mix of oak and hickory, with some maple mixed in depending on availability, all sourced from woodlots within a short haul of Rome. These species are common to the Floyd County area and burn hot and long, which suits our stretch of chilly nights well.

Answer

Is this firewood really local, and does that matter?

Yes, we source within the Rome area rather than trucking wood in from far away. Moving firewood long distances is a known way pests like the emerald ash borer spread into new regions, so keeping wood local protects the trees in your own neighborhood.

Answer

How does delivery to my driveway actually work?

You choose a cord size and delivery date, we haul it out on our truck, and the wood gets dumped loose in your driveway. Stacking is not included, so plan on moving it to your storage area yourself or with some extra hands.

Answer

What is the difference between a quarter cord, half cord, and full cord?

A full cord is a stack measuring 4 feet high by 4 feet deep by 8 feet long, or 128 cubic feet. A quarter cord, half cord, and three quarter cord are simply fractions of that same measurement, so you can size your order to match how much wood storage space you actually have.

Answer

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

Rome does not currently have a formal air quality burn ban program like some larger metro areas, but it is still good practice to avoid burning on stagnant, high humidity days when smoke tends to hang low in the neighborhood.
