How Much Firewood Do I Need?
For Somerset's typical six month heating season, occasional burners should plan on a half to full cord, while nightly wood stove users should budget for 3 to 4 full cords delivered in one or two loads.
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. 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.

First time going with this company for mulch and it was an efficient process from start to finish.

Best deal around when I compared it to competitors and I will definitely be becoming back.

While you are preparing for winter, consider topping off garden beds with mulch or refreshing walkways with stone from our Somerset regional page, both suited to the area's silt loam soils and seasonal rainfall.
Stack your wood off the ground on pallets or rails, since Somerset's humid summers and wet winter stretches can wick moisture up into split logs left directly on soil. Leave a few inches between rows for airflow, and cover only the top of the stack with a tarp, keeping the sides open so trapped condensation does not undo months of seasoning before you ever get the wood to the fireplace.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Before loading your stove, check for the telltale hiss and sizzle of green wood versus the clean crackle of properly seasoned hickory or oak. Splits that show gray, cracked end grain and feel notably lighter than a similar sized green piece are ready to burn hot and clean, which matters most on Somerset's coldest January nights when you need sustained heat rather than smoke.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Order your firewood in late summer or early fall, well before Somerset's first frost around October 20, since demand climbs fast once temperatures drop and well seasoned wood becomes harder to find. Buying early also gives freshly split wood extra weeks to finish drying in your own stacked woodpile before you need it most.
Wood Heat in Somerset
Somerset winters stretch from mid October frost to mid April, giving Pulaski County homeowners a long heating season where dry, seasoned wood makes a real difference in comfort and chimney safety. Our region's humidity means freshly cut hardwood can hold onto moisture for a year or more, so wood that has not been properly seasoned will smoke, smolder, and coat flues with creosote instead of throwing real heat. We season our oak, hickory, and hard maple through a full summer of Kentucky heat before it ever reaches your driveway. Local species like these burn hot and long, which matters when overnight lows settle into the 20s during January and February. Because Somerset sits at nearly 1,000 feet elevation with silt loam soils that support dense hardwood forests, the wood grown here is naturally well suited to sustained winter burning.
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

Answer
How much firewood do I need to get through a Somerset winter?
A household burning several nights a week from late October through mid April typically goes through 3 to 4 full cords, while occasional weekend fires might only need a quarter or half cord to last the season.
Answer
What does seasoned firewood actually mean, and why does it matter here?
Seasoned means the wood has dried for at least six to twelve months until its moisture content drops low enough to burn cleanly, which matters in Somerset because our humid summers slow natural drying compared to drier climates, so unseasoned wood left outdoors here can still be too wet to burn well come winter.
Answer
What kind of wood will I actually get?
Expect a mix of oak, hickory, and hard maple, the dominant hardwoods in the forests surrounding Pulaski County, all known for dense, long burning coals that hold heat through cold overnight lows.
Answer
Is this firewood sourced locally, and does that matter?
Yes, our wood is cut and seasoned near Somerset, and buying local matters because hauling firewood long distances is how pests like the emerald ash borer spread into new counties, so keeping wood close to where it grew protects the forests around us.
Answer
How does delivery to my house actually work?
You choose a cord size and delivery date, and our truck drops the wood loose in your driveway, no stacking included, so plan to have it moved to its storage spot within a day or two, especially before rain.
Answer
What is the difference between a quarter 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 fractional slices 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 before burning?
Pulaski County does not enforce a formal air quality burn ban like larger metro areas, but keeping your wood seasoned and burning only clean hardwood reduces smoke complaints from neighbors and keeps your chimney safer through our long heating season.
