How Much Firewood Do I Need?
For most Steubenville households, one to one and a half cords covers a fireplace used regularly on cold nights, while full time woodstove heat through our long frost season typically calls for two to three cords.
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.

While you are prepping the property for winter, check out our mulch and soil options on the same Steubenville regional page to protect garden beds before the first hard frost hits.
Stack your wood off the ground on pallets or rails so Ohio Valley humidity does not wick moisture back into split faces. Leave gaps between rows for airflow and cover only the top of the stack, keeping the sides open so trapped moisture can escape instead of promoting mold during our damp spring thaw.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Oak and hickory take longer to catch but throw steady heat for hours, making them ideal for banking a fire before bed on a cold Steubenville night. Ash lights fast and burns hotter early, so mix a few ash splits into your kindling layer with oak or hickory on top for a fire that starts easily and lasts.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Order your firewood well before the first frost typically hits around October 23, since demand climbs fast once temperatures drop and well seasoned wood needs lead time to arrive properly dried. Buying in late summer or early fall also gives split wood extra weeks to finish drying in your own stack before you need it.
Wood Heat in Steubenville
Steubenville winters run long, with frost settling in by late October and holding on until nearly the end of April, which means woodstoves and fireplaces here often see six months of steady use. That kind of heating season punishes wood that has not fully dried out. Our firewood is seasoned oak, hickory, and ash sourced from the hills around Jefferson County, cut and split months in advance so the moisture content drops before it ever reaches your driveway. The Ohio Valley's humidity slows natural drying compared to drier climates, so wood that looks split and ready often is not, and burning it green wastes heat and coats your chimney with creosote. Choosing properly seasoned local hardwood means more warmth per load and fewer trips out to the woodpile during a February cold snap.
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 does a typical Steubenville house burn in a winter?
A household using a woodstove as a primary heat source through our roughly six month heating season, late October frost to late April, often burns two to three full cords. Folks who only run a fireplace on cold nights or for weekend ambiance usually get by on a half cord to a full cord.
Answer
What does seasoned firewood actually mean, and does it matter here?
Seasoned means the wood has been split and dried, usually six months to a year, until its internal moisture drops enough to burn hot and clean. In the Ohio Valley's humid summers, wood dries slower than in arid climates, so unseasoned wood sold as ready to burn is common. Our wood is cut and split well ahead of delivery so it is genuinely ready for your stove.
Answer
What kind of wood will I actually get delivered?
Expect a mix of local hardwoods such as oak, hickory, and ash, all common species in the hills and hollows around Steubenville. Oak and hickory burn slow and hot, good for overnight fires, while ash lights easily and works well for getting a fire going quickly.
Answer
Is this wood actually local, and why does that matter?
Yes, it is sourced near Steubenville rather than trucked in from out of state. Moving firewood long distances is one of the main ways pests like the emerald ash borer spread into new forests, so buying and burning wood close to where it was cut helps protect the ash trees still standing in Jefferson County.
Answer
How does delivery to my driveway actually work?
You choose your cord size, we schedule a delivery window, and the wood arrives loose at the driveway spot you specify. We do not stack it, so plan on having space cleared and a bit of time set aside to move it to your woodpile or rack.
Answer
What is a cord, and how do the 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 about a third of that stack, the third cord a bit more, and the half cord is exactly half the wood of a full cord, letting you match your order to how much stove use you expect this winter.
Answer
Are there any local rules about burning firewood I should know about?
Jefferson County occasionally issues air quality advisories during winter temperature inversions common to the Ohio Valley, when smoke can linger closer to the ground. On those days it is worth checking local advisories and, if possible, holding off on non essential burning until conditions clear.
