Ordered Dirt. Received Dirt. Would Buy Again.

For most Tuscaloosa households, a half cord comfortably covers a typical winter of regular evening fires, while a full cord suits homes relying on wood heat as their primary source through the whole frost window.

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.

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!

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your firewood off the ground on pallets or a rack, and keep it under a simple cover or tarp that shields the top while leaving the sides open for airflow. Tuscaloosa's humidity means uncovered wood can reabsorb moisture even after it arrives seasoned, so a breathable cover matters more here than in drier climates. Stacking against a south facing wall also helps wood stay drier between rain events common through our winter months.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Oak and hickory both burn long and hot, making them ideal for overnight coals, while pecan lights quickly and works well for building a fast starting fire before adding denser splits. If you are unsure whether a piece is truly dry, knock two pieces together, seasoned wood produces a sharp crack rather than a dull thud, a quick test worth doing before you build your fire.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your firewood in early fall before the first frost typically hits around November 6, since demand climbs quickly once temperatures drop and popular cord sizes can take longer to schedule. Buying ahead also gives any wood that needs extra drying time a few more weeks to season properly before you need it for a cold night.

Wood Heat in Tuscaloosa

Tuscaloosa winters are short but damp, with the heating season really only running from early November through early April thanks to our late first frost around November 6 and last frost near April 5. That narrow window means the wood you burn needs to already be dry when it lands in your driveway, because Alabama humidity slows natural seasoning if you try to dry green wood yourself once cold weather hits. We season our oak, hickory, and pecan splits ahead of time so the moisture content is low enough for a clean burn instead of the smoky, hissing fire green wood produces in our humid air. Local hardwoods like red oak and hickory are dense and burn long and hot, which matters when you are only heating for a handful of months but want real value from every load. Buying wood that has already sat through a Tuscaloosa summer under cover gives you a head start the moment that first cold snap rolls through.

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 Tuscaloosa winter?

Most Tuscaloosa homes that burn occasionally on cool evenings from November through March get by on a quarter to a third of a cord. If wood is your primary heat source through our full frost window, plan on a half cord to a full cord depending on how large your stove or fireplace is and how many nights a week you burn.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has been split and dried for months until its internal moisture drops low enough to burn cleanly, which matters more in Tuscaloosa than in drier climates because our humidity slows drying dramatically if you try to season wood yourself over just one summer. Green or under seasoned wood in our climate tends to smolder, smoke, and coat your chimney with creosote instead of throwing real heat.

Answer

What kind of wood will I actually get delivered?

Expect a mix of oak, hickory, and pecan, all common hardwoods harvested from the Tuscaloosa area that split well and burn hot and long, which is exactly what you want during our shorter but chilly heating season.

Answer

Is this firewood really sourced locally, and does that matter?

Yes, all of our firewood is cut near Tuscaloosa rather than trucked in from another state. Keeping firewood local is important because hauling wood long distances is one of the main ways invasive pests like the emerald ash borer spread into new regions, so buying near where you burn helps protect Alabama's forests.

Answer

How does delivery actually work once I order?

You pick your cord size, we schedule a delivery window, and your wood is dumped loose in your driveway rather than stacked, so you will want a spot cleared out ahead of time and a plan for moving it to your final stacking area.

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 one fourth of that volume, our third cord is one third, and our half cord is exactly half, so you can scale your order to match your stove size and how many months you plan to burn.

Answer

Are there any local rules I should know about before I start burning?

Tuscaloosa does not typically issue widespread burn bans for indoor wood stoves and fireplaces, but during dry stretches or poor air quality days it is worth checking local advisories before doing any outdoor burning of brush or debris alongside your firewood use.
