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.

Ordered Dirt. Received Dirt. Would Buy Again.

Most Washington households burning several nights a week should plan on a half cord to a full cord for the season, while daily wood heat users often need closer to two cords.

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.

Service area

Areas we deliver firewood in Washington, Indiana

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack firewood off the ground on pallets or rails so air can circulate underneath, since Washington's humid summers and wet winters can wick moisture up into a pile sitting directly on soil. Leave a few inches between rows for airflow, and cover only the top of the stack, keeping the sides open so trapped moisture can escape rather than condensing inside a fully wrapped tarp.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Local oak and hickory burn hot and long but take longer to catch, so build your fire with a smaller maple or softer kindling layer first, then add the denser splits once you have solid coals. This layered approach works especially well during Washington's colder January and February stretches when you want steady overnight heat.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your firewood in late summer or early fall, well before the first frost typically arrives around October 20, so it has time to finish seasoning in your own storage area and you are not caught scrambling once temperatures drop and demand for local seasoned wood picks up around Washington.

Wood Heat in Washington

Washington, Indiana sits in growing zone 6b with a heating season that typically runs from mid October through mid April, meaning wood stoves and fireplaces here see six months of steady use. Local hardwoods like oak, hickory, and hard maple are common in this part of southwestern Indiana and hold up well through long, damp winters if properly seasoned. Silt loam soils and the region's humidity mean freshly cut wood retains moisture longer than in drier climates, so green wood often needs a full six to twelve months to season before it burns clean. Burning unseasoned wood in Washington's often humid winters creates more creosote buildup and smoke, which matters both for chimney safety and for neighbors during still, cold air days. We season our wood locally so it is ready to burn efficiently from the first cold snap through the last frost around April 18. Buying seasoned, local wood also protects Washington's tree canopy from pests that ride in on out of area firewood.

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 Washington winter?

With a heating season stretching from around October 20 to April 18, most households burning a wood stove several nights a week go through one to two full cords, while occasional fireplace users often do fine with a half cord or quarter cord.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has dried down to a low moisture content, usually six months to a year after splitting, and in our humid southwestern Indiana climate that drying time is essential because green wood smokes more and burns less efficiently in damp winter air.

Answer

What kinds of wood will I get in my delivery?

Expect a mix of hardwoods common to the Washington area such as oak, hickory, and hard maple, all known for dense, long burning heat that suits our long heating season.

Answer

Is this firewood actually cut near Washington, or shipped in from somewhere else?

All of our firewood is sourced locally near Washington, which matters because hauling firewood long distances is one of the main ways invasive pests like the emerald ash borer spread between regions.

Answer

How does delivery to my house actually work?

You choose your cord size, we schedule a delivery date, and your wood is dropped loose in your driveway, since we do not include stacking as part of the delivery service.

Answer

What is the difference between a quarter cord, a half cord, and a full cord?

A full cord is 128 cubic feet of stacked wood, measuring 4 feet high by 4 feet deep by 8 feet long, and our quarter cord, third cord, and half cord options are simply fractional slices of that same full cord measurement for smaller wood piles or storage spaces.

Answer

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

Indiana counties periodically issue air quality advisories during winter inversion events, so it is worth checking local notices on high pollution days and always burning seasoned wood to keep smoke output low regardless of conditions.
