How Much Firewood Do I Need?
For most Washington Court House homes using firewood as supplemental heat, a half cord to a full cord covers the season, while primary heat users should plan on two or more full 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.

I recently ordered from mulch mound and was thoroughly impressed with every aspect of the experience. The entire process, from placing the order to delivery was seamless and efficient. The mulch arrived exactly on time, and the quality exceeded my expectations. The color was rich and consistent, and I received more than enough to complete my project with proper coverage and packing.
Customer service was equally outstanding. Communication was clear, and the team was responsive and professional throughout. It’s rare to find a company that delivers both a high-quality product and excellent service, but mulch mound did just that.
Highly recommended, and I wouldn’t hesitate to order from them again.

While you are prepping for the Washington Court House heating season, consider pairing your firewood order with mulch or topsoil from the same regional delivery to protect garden beds before the first frost hits.
Stack your firewood off the ground on pallets or rails so air can circulate underneath and moisture from Ohio's damp winter ground does not soak into your bottom rows. Leave gaps between rows for airflow, and cover only the top of the stack rather than wrapping it completely, since trapped moisture underneath a full tarp can slow seasoning and encourage mold in our humid stretches.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Oak burns long and steady, making it a solid overnight choice, while ash lights quickly and works well for getting a fire going fast on a cold Washington Court House evening. Mixing species in your firebox lets you get a fast start from ash kindling and a long, even burn from oak once the fire is established.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Order your firewood well before the first frost typically arrives around October 15, since demand climbs fast once temperatures drop and supply can tighten during the coldest weeks. Ordering in September or early October gives you time to stack and settle your wood before you actually need it burning.
Wood Heat in Washington Court House
Washington Court House sits in zone 6b with a heating season that typically runs from mid October through late April, and that long stretch means a poorly seasoned load can leave you short on cold January nights. Our firewood is split and dried well before delivery so it burns hot instead of hissing and smoking on your hearth. Local hardwoods like Ohio oak, hickory, and ash hold up well through our humid summers and cold winters when they are properly seasoned first. Green wood struggles to dry fully in the moderate humidity common to this part of Ohio, which is why we season ours ahead of time rather than asking you to wait months in your own stack. Buying wood that is already ready to burn matters here because our first frost around October 15 often arrives before homeowners expect it.
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 Washington Court House winter?
With our heating season stretching from around October 15 to April 20, most households burning a few nights a week as supplemental heat use about a half cord to a full cord. If firewood is your primary heat source through the coldest months, plan on two to three full cords to stay comfortable.
Answer
What does seasoned firewood actually mean and why does it matter here?
Seasoned means the wood has been split and dried down to a low moisture content instead of being cut and delivered green. In our climate, green wood struggles to dry properly once stacked outside in winter humidity, so starting with wood that is already seasoned means it lights easier and produces far less smoke and creosote buildup in your chimney.
Answer
What kind of wood will I actually get delivered?
Expect a mix of local hardwoods common to this part of Ohio, primarily oak, hickory, and ash, all sourced and split near Washington Court House rather than shipped in from elsewhere.
Answer
Is this firewood really sourced locally, and does that matter?
Yes, our wood comes from sources near Washington Court House, and that matters because moving firewood long distances is how pests like the emerald ash borer spread into new areas. Buying local and burning local protects the ash and hardwood trees still standing in your own neighborhood.
Answer
How does delivery actually work once I place an order?
You choose your cord size, we schedule a delivery window that works for you, and the wood is dropped loose in your driveway. Stacking is not included, so plan to move and stack it yourself once it arrives.
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 and half cord scale up from there, giving you flexible options depending on how much storage space and burning you plan to do this season.
Answer
Are there any local burn restrictions I should know about in Washington Court House?
Ohio EPA occasionally issues air quality advisories during periods of stagnant winter air, so it is worth checking local notices on high pollution days before building a large fire, especially if you are burning frequently through the coldest stretch of the season.
