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.

For a typical Winston-Salem household burning a few times a week through our six month heating season, a half cord to full cord is a solid starting point, with heavier burners ordering more.

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.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your firewood off the ground on a pallet or rack, and cover just the top with a tarp rather than wrapping the whole pile. Our Piedmont humidity means fully enclosed wood traps moisture and slows seasoning, or even encourages mold. Leaving the sides open lets air move through the stack, which keeps your wood dry and ready to burn through our long, damp winter months.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Local oak and hickory both burn best once fully seasoned, but you can check readiness yourself. Knock two pieces together, and well seasoned wood makes a sharp, hollow crack rather than a dull thud. You can also look for splits with visible cracking on the end grain and darker, grayish coloring, both signs the wood has dried enough to burn hot and clean.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your firewood before the first frost hits in late October, since demand climbs fast once temperatures drop and supply of properly seasoned local hardwood can tighten. Ordering early also gives your wood extra weeks to finish drying in your own stack before you actually need it for those first cold nights in November.

Wood Heat in Winston-Salem

Winston-Salem winters run from that late October first frost through mid April, which means a heating season stretching nearly six months for anyone burning wood as a primary or supplemental heat source. Piedmont humidity is no joke, and green or improperly dried wood simply will not throw the heat you need when the temperature drops into the 20s. Our seasoned hardwood, mostly local oak, hickory, and ash, is dried down to a proper moisture content before it ever reaches your driveway, so it lights faster and burns hotter with less creosote buildup in your flue. Because Forsyth County soil is heavy clay loam, wood cut and split locally seasons differently than wood shipped in from drier regions, so buying local ensures the drying process actually matches our conditions. That local sourcing also protects our hardwood forests from pests that hitchhike in trucked in 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 actually need to get through a Winston-Salem winter?

Most households burning a few nights a week from late October through mid April go through a half cord to a full cord. If wood is your primary heat source rather than a supplement, plan closer to a full cord and a half, since our cold snaps can stretch even with our relatively mild Zone 7b winters.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has been dried to a low enough moisture content to burn efficiently, usually six months to a year after splitting. In our humid Piedmont climate, unseasoned wood holds onto moisture longer than it would in a drier region, so buying pre-seasoned wood saves you from smoky, low heat fires and heavy creosote buildup.

Answer

What kinds of wood will I get in my delivery?

Expect a mix of local hardwoods common to the Winston-Salem area, primarily oak and hickory with some ash mixed in. Oak burns long and steady for overnight fires, while hickory throws strong heat that is great for cold snaps.

Answer

Is this firewood actually local, and does that matter?

Yes, our wood is sourced near Winston-Salem rather than trucked in from far away. Moving firewood long distances is one of the main ways invasive pests like the emerald ash borer spread into new areas, so buying local protects the hardwood trees already growing around your own neighborhood.

Answer

How does delivery to my house actually work?

You choose your cord size and a delivery date, and we bring the wood loose to your driveway. We do not stack it for you, so plan to have your storage rack or covered area ready to move it 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 of stacked wood, 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 rules I should know about before burning?

Forsyth County occasionally issues air quality advisories during stagnant winter air patterns, so it is worth checking local notices on high pollution days before lighting an outdoor fire. Seasoned wood also burns cleaner than green wood, which helps keep your own smoke output lower on any given night.
