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 Sedalia household burning a few nights a week, a third to a half cord often covers the season, while full time wood heat users should plan on two or more cords before the first frost hits.

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 Sedalia, Missouri

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your wood off the ground on pallets or rails so Sedalia's silt loam soil does not wick moisture back into the bottom rows. Leave the top loosely covered but the sides open to airflow, since fully wrapping a stack in tarp traps humidity and can invite mold, especially during our damp fall weeks before the first frost sets in.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Hickory and oak both burn long and hot, making them ideal for overnight coals, while lighter hackberry catches faster and works well for building a quick fire. A simple moisture test with a cheap meter should read below 20 percent before you burn, and well seasoned wood will typically show 15 to 18 percent by the time it reaches your driveway.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order before late September if you want delivery ahead of Sedalia's typical October 17 first frost. Waiting until the first cold snap means competing with every other household in Pettis County for the same seasoned supply, and prices on remaining stock tend to tighten once temperatures start dropping fast.

Wood Heat in Sedalia

Sedalia winters stretch from a first frost around October 17 to a last frost near April 14, which means many households are feeding a stove or fireplace for close to five months. Our seasoned oak, hickory, and hackberry are cut and dried well ahead of that window, so the wood you burn is already down to a safe moisture range instead of fighting the humidity swings common to mid Missouri. Green or half dried wood popped into a firebox during a cold snap wastes heat boiling off trapped water and coats your flue with creosote, which is a real concern given how long our local heating season runs. Because Sedalia sits at nearly 900 feet with silt loam soils that hold moisture, wood left uncovered here seasons more slowly than in drier climates, so we do that work before it ever reaches your driveway. Buying wood that was already seasoned locally means you are not paying to store or dry it yourself through a Missouri winter.

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 Sedalia winter?

Households burning a couple nights a week as supplemental heat usually go through a quarter to a third of a cord, while those relying on wood as a primary heat source from October through April often use two to three full cords across the season.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has been split and dried for months so its internal moisture is low, which matters in Sedalia because our silt loam soils and humid summers slow down natural drying if you tried to season wood yourself in a backyard pile.

Answer

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

Expect a mix of local hardwoods like oak, hickory, and hackberry, all common to the timber stands around Pettis County, chosen because they split cleanly and hold a long, steady burn through cold nights.

Answer

Is this firewood actually sourced near Sedalia, or shipped in from somewhere else?

All of our wood is cut locally near Sedalia, which matters because hauling firewood long distances is how pests like the emerald ash borer spread into new counties, so keeping wood local protects the trees still standing around your own property.

Answer

How does the delivery to my driveway actually work?

We dump the load loose at the driveway on your scheduled date, and stacking is on you, so plan to have a tarp or pallet ready if rain is expected before you get it moved.

Answer

What is the difference between a quarter cord, a third cord, a half cord, and 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, third, and half cord options are simply fractions of that same stacked volume, so a half cord is 64 cubic feet and a quarter cord is 32 cubic feet.

Answer

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

Check with the City of Sedalia on any open burning restrictions for yard debris, since those rules are separate from indoor wood stove or fireplace use, and keeping your stove burning seasoned wood also cuts down on the smoke that can draw complaints from neighbors on still winter days.
