For a typical St. Louis heating season running late October to mid April, occasional burners should plan on a half cord while daily wood heat users should order a full cord or 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, consider pairing your firewood order with mulch or landscape stone from our St. Louis regional page to protect root systems from the clay soil freeze and thaw cycles common in our area.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your firewood off the ground on pallets or a rack to keep it away from St. Louis's clay soil, which holds moisture and can wick dampness into your bottom rows. Leave gaps between rows for airflow, and cover only the top of the stack rather than wrapping the whole pile, since trapped humidity underneath a full tarp can slow drying and encourage mold during our wetter winter stretches.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Oak and hickory take longer to catch but burn hot and steady once going, making them ideal for overnight burns during our coldest January stretches. Use a few pieces of ash or smaller kindling to get the fire established quickly, then add the denser oak and hickory once you have a solid bed of coals for longer, more consistent heat.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your firewood in late summer or early fall, well before St. Louis's first frost around October 25, so it has time to finish drying and you are not scrambling once temperatures drop. Waiting until the first cold snap often means shorter supply windows and less time for any additional drying before you need to burn it.

Wood Heat in St. Louis

St. Louis winters run from late October frost through mid April, which means many households are feeding a stove or fireplace for close to five months straight. Our region's humidity swings hard between summer soaking and winter dryness, so wood that has not been properly seasoned holds moisture in the cell structure and burns cool, smoky, and inefficient. We stock local oak, hickory, and ash sourced from woodlots near St. Louis, split and air dried so moisture content drops before it reaches your driveway. Seasoned hardwood lights faster, burns hotter, and leaves less creosote in your flue, which matters when clay soil drainage keeps our region's air already carrying extra moisture into winter. Buying wood that has already dried out locally means you are not fighting green wood on the coldest night of the year.

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 need to get through a St. Louis winter?

Most St. Louis households burning a few nights a week from late October through mid April use somewhere between one half cord and a full cord per season. If wood heat is your primary source rather than an occasional fire, plan on one and a half to two full cords to cover the entire frost window.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has dried down to a lower moisture content after being cut and split, typically six months to a year depending on species. In our humid Missouri climate, unseasoned wood holds onto moisture longer than in drier regions, so buying wood that is already properly dried saves you from smoky fires and heavy creosote buildup partway through the season.

Answer

What kind of wood will I actually get delivered?

Expect a mix of local hardwoods common to the St. Louis area, mainly oak and hickory with some ash mixed in. Oak and hickory burn long and hot, which suits our longer heating season, while ash lights easily and works well for getting a fire going quickly.

Answer

Is this firewood really sourced near St. Louis, and does that matter?

Yes, our firewood comes from local sources near the St. Louis area rather than being trucked in from out of state. Buying local matters because moving firewood long distances is one of the main ways invasive pests like the emerald ash borer spread into new regions, so keeping wood local protects the trees still standing in our area.

Answer

How is delivery handled, and do you stack the wood for me?

Firewood is delivered loose directly to your driveway, and stacking is not included in the delivery. Most customers stack it themselves once it arrives so it can start drying further or stay dry through the winter months.

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. Our quarter cord is a quarter of that volume, our third cord is a third, and our half cord is exactly half, giving you flexible options depending on how much storage space and burning need you have.

Answer

Are there any local rules about burning firewood in St. Louis?

St. Louis occasionally issues air quality advisories during winter inversion periods when smoke from wood burning can linger closer to the ground. Checking local air quality alerts on high pollution days and burning only well seasoned wood helps reduce smoke output and keeps your fires burning cleaner.
