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.
Wonderful experience! They put the mulch exactly where we wanted. This mulch spread very easily and didn’t have the usual “mulch smell.” We will definitely use again!

How Much Firewood Do I Need?
For occasional weekend fires through our roughly six month heating season, a quarter to half cord is usually enough, while regular wood stove users should budget for one to two 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. 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!
While you are prepping your property for winter, check out our mulch and soil options sourced for Wentzville's clay heavy ground, ideal for insulating garden beds before the first frost hits around October 22.
Stack your firewood off the ground on a pallet or rack, and keep the top covered while leaving the sides open to airflow. Wentzville's humid summers and wet spring stretches mean uncovered wood on bare soil can wick up moisture from the clay ground below, undoing months of seasoning. A simple tarp over the top row, secured but not wrapped tight to the sides, keeps rain and snow off while still letting air move through the stack.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Oak and hickory, our most common local species, benefit from a hot quick starting fire using smaller kindling before you add split logs. Because both woods are dense, they take longer to catch than softer woods, so give your fire a solid bed of coals before loading larger splits. A moisture meter reading under 20 percent on a freshly split face is a good sign the wood is ready to burn cleanly.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Order your firewood before the first hard frost typically hits Wentzville around October 22, since demand climbs fast once temperatures drop and supply of properly seasoned local wood tightens. Buying in late summer or early fall also gives you time to get everything stacked and settled before you actually need it for those first chilly nights.
Wood Heat in Wentzville
Wentzville sits in zone 6b, which means a heating season that typically runs from late October through mid April, longer than most people expect when they are stacking their first load of the year. Our seasoned oak, hickory, and ash are dried down before delivery so they light easily and burn hot even during the humid stretches that St. Charles County sees in early fall and late spring. Green wood fights the local clay soil moisture that lingers in the air here, producing more smoke and creosote buildup in chimneys. With frost arriving around October 22 and lasting until mid April, Wentzville homeowners need wood that is ready to burn from day one, not wood still losing water weeks after delivery. Buying seasoned and local also protects the oak and ash trees that make up so much of our tree canopy along the Wentzville Parkway corridor and surrounding neighborhoods.
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 do I actually need to get through a Wentzville winter
Most Wentzville homeowners who burn a few nights a week from November through March use somewhere between one half cord and a full cord as their primary or supplemental heat source. Households running a wood stove daily through our full frost window, October 22 to April 15, often go through one and a half to two cords depending on how tight and well insulated the home is.
Answer
What does seasoned firewood actually mean and why does it matter here
Seasoned means the wood has dried for several months to a year after splitting, dropping its moisture content low enough to burn cleanly. In our humid Missouri climate, unseasoned or green wood holds onto moisture longer than in drier regions, so buying wood that is already seasoned saves you from smoky, low heat fires and creosote buildup in your chimney.
Answer
What kind of wood will I actually get delivered
Expect a mix dominated by local oak and hickory, with some ash mixed in depending on availability, all species that grow well in Wentzville's clay soil. Oak and hickory both burn long and hot, making them well suited to the extended heating season our zone 6b winters demand.
Answer
Is this firewood actually sourced near Wentzville
Yes, all of our firewood is sourced locally near Wentzville rather than trucked in from distant regions. This matters because moving firewood long distances is one of the main ways invasive pests like the emerald ash borer spread from county to county, threatening the same ash trees that shade many Wentzville yards.
Answer
How does delivery to my driveway actually work
Once you pick your cord size and schedule a delivery window, we bring the wood directly to your property and unload it loose in the driveway at the spot you choose. Stacking is not included, so plan on setting aside some time afterward to move it to your storage 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 fireplace use and available storage space without paying for more than you need.
Answer
Are there any local rules about burning wood in Wentzville
Wentzville does not currently operate a formal air quality burn ban program like some larger metro areas, but St. Charles County residents should still be mindful of local ordinances regarding outdoor burning and check with the city during unusually stagnant winter air days. Burning fully seasoned wood also helps reduce the smoke output that can trigger neighbor complaints during our colder, stiller winter evenings.
