How Much Firewood Do I Need?
For steady winter heating in Sidney, plan on one to two full cords depending on how often you burn, while occasional fireplace use typically only needs a quarter or half cord.
What is a 1/4 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.
What is a 1/3 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.
What is a 1/2 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.

While you are prepping your property for winter, check out our mulch and stone options sourced for the same Sidney clay loam soils to protect garden beds through the cold months ahead.
Stack your firewood off the ground on pallets or rails so air can move underneath, since Sidney's damp winters and spring thaw can wick moisture up from bare soil. Leave gaps between rows for airflow, and cover only the top of the stack, keeping the sides open so humidity trapped under a full tarp does not slow seasoning or invite mold.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Oak and hickory from around Sidney burn longer and hotter, making them good picks for overnight coals, while maple lights faster and works well for building a quick fire. Mixing species lets you start hot with maple, then bank the fire with oak or hickory to hold heat through a cold Ohio night without constant tending.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Order your wood well before Sidney's first frost, typically around October 3, since seasoned wood supply tightens once temperatures drop and everyone starts stocking up. Ordering in late summer also gives any slightly less dry splits extra weeks to finish drying in your stack before you need to rely on them for consistent heat.
Wood Heat in Sidney
Sidney sits in growing zone 6a with a heating season that typically runs from early October through mid May, which means local woodstoves and fireplaces can see seven months of steady use. Clay loam soils around Shelby County support strong stands of oak, hickory, ash, and hard maple, all of which make excellent dense firewood once properly dried. Green wood cut from these species needs a full season or more to drop its moisture content, and our humid Ohio summers slow that process if wood is stacked poorly. That is why we only deliver seasoned hardwood that has already been through a proper drying cycle before it reaches your driveway. With Sidney winters bringing damp cold rather than dry cold, burning wood that still holds moisture leads to smoky, inefficient fires and heavy creosote buildup. Starting the season with truly seasoned wood keeps your stove running hot and clean from the first frost to the last.
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 Sidney winter?
Most Sidney homes burning a woodstove several nights a week from October through May go through one to two full cords, while homes using firewood just for occasional weekend fires often do fine with a half cord or quarter cord. Our long heating season here means steady burners should plan on the higher end.
Answer
What does seasoned firewood actually mean, and why does it matter here?
Seasoned means the wood has dried down to a low moisture content after being split and stored, typically six months to a year depending on species. In Sidney's humid summers, unseasoned wood holds moisture longer than in drier climates, so we make sure every load has already gone through that full drying process before delivery.
Answer
What kinds of wood will I get with a Sidney delivery?
Expect a mix of oak, hickory, and hard maple sourced from woodlots near Sidney, all common species in our clay loam soils. These hardwoods burn hot and long, which suits the extended cold stretches typical of our Ohio winters.
Answer
Is this wood actually cut locally, or could it be trucked in from somewhere else?
All of our firewood is sourced near Sidney and never hauled in from distant regions. Moving firewood long distances is one of the main ways pests like the emerald ash borer spread into new areas, so keeping our supply local protects the ash and hardwood stands throughout Shelby County.
Answer
How does delivery work once I place an order?
You choose your cord size, schedule a delivery date, and the wood is dropped loose in your driveway. Stacking is not included, so plan to have it moved to its storage spot fairly soon after drop off, especially before Sidney's first frost around October 3.
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, the third cord is one third, and the half cord is exactly half, so you can scale your order to match how much storage space and burning time you have this winter.
Answer
Are there any local rules I should know about before burning firewood in Sidney?
Sidney does not have a routine wood burning ban, but like much of Ohio it can be subject to air quality advisories during periods of stagnant winter air. Burning fully seasoned wood produces far less smoke and particulate than green wood, which helps you stay in good standing during any advisory days.
