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.

Placing an order online was so easy. Delivery was on time. When the driver realized we had a newly poured driveway they erred on the side of caution and opted not ti drive in it. The company even sent me a message explaining that call. Would recommend!

For a typical Springfield heating season, plan on a half cord if wood is supplemental heat and closer to a full cord if it is your primary source. Households with larger stoves or drafty older homes often go through more.

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.

Complete Your Outdoor Project

While you are prepping for winter, check out our mulch and stone options for the same Springfield delivery, ideal for protecting garden beds before the ground freezes around the October frost date.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack firewood off the ground on a pallet or rack so Ozark moisture from rain and snowmelt does not wick up into your wood. Leave gaps between rows for airflow and cover only the top with a tarp, keeping the sides open so trapped humidity can escape instead of promoting mold in your stacked pile.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Oak burns long and steady, making it a solid overnight choice, while hickory catches a bit easier and burns hotter for quick warmth on frigid evenings. Mixing the two in your firebox gives you a fast start from the hickory and lasting coals from the oak, a combination that works well for Springfield's long, cold nights.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your firewood well before the October 20 average first frost date, since demand climbs fast once temperatures drop and seasoned supply can run low. Buying early also gives you time to get wood stacked and settled in your driveway storage before the coldest stretch of the season arrives.

Wood Heat in Springfield

Springfield sits in zone 6b with a heating season that typically runs from late October through early April, meaning a lot of nights below freezing to plan for. Ozark humidity slows down natural drying, so wood cut and split just weeks before delivery still burns wet and smoky. Our seasoned oak, hickory, and hackberry are dried well ahead of time to the low moisture content that Springfield fireplaces and wood stoves need for a clean, hot burn. Rocky, clay heavy soils around Springfield mean many homeowners do not have room to season their own supply, so buying wood already dried saves a season of waiting. With the first frost landing around October 20 and last frost near April 10, most households are running fires for nearly six months straight.

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 Springfield winter?

Most Springfield households burning a few nights a week from late October through early April go through half a cord to a full cord. If your stove is your main heat source rather than just supplemental warmth, plan closer to 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 low moisture content instead of being freshly split. In our humid Ozark climate, green wood can take six months to a year to dry properly on its own, so seasoned wood burns hotter, cleaner, and with far less smoke and creosote buildup in your chimney.

Answer

What kind of wood will I actually get?

We deliver seasoned hardwood sourced locally near Springfield, typically a mix of oak and hickory with some hackberry depending on availability. These are dense native hardwoods that burn long and hot, which suits our stretch of cold nights well.

Answer

Is the firewood really local, and does that matter?

Yes, all of our wood is sourced near Springfield rather than trucked in from other regions. Keeping firewood local helps stop the spread of pests like the emerald ash borer, which travels in firewood and has damaged ash trees across Missouri.

Answer

How does delivery actually work?

You choose your cord size and a delivery date, and we bring the wood loose to your driveway. Stacking is not included, so it helps to have a plan for where it will go once it lands.

Answer

What is a cord and how do your smaller sizes compare?

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 a quarter of that volume, a third cord is a third, and a half cord is exactly half, so you can size your order to your stove and storage space without paying for a full cord you may not need.

Answer

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

Springfield does not currently have a widespread burn ban on residential wood stoves, but during periods of poor air quality it is worth checking local advisories before extended burning. Seasoned wood also produces far less visible smoke, which helps keep things neighborly on still winter days.
