What Is a Full Cord of Firewood?

A full cord is a stacked measurement of firewood totaling 128 cubic feet, commonly arranged as a 4-foot by 4-foot by 8-foot pile. A half cord is exactly half that volume and may suit homeowners with moderate heating needs or limited storage space.

When Should I Order Firewood for Winter?

Ordering in late summer or early fall is advisable. Supply can tighten once cooler weather arrives, and having seasoned wood already stacked before the first cold snap means your fireplace or stove is ready without delay.

What Is the Difference Between Seasoned and Green Firewood?

Seasoned firewood has been dried after splitting, substantially reducing its moisture content. Green wood still holds a high percentage of water, making it difficult to ignite, producing heavy smoke, and contributing to faster creosote accumulation compared to properly dried wood.

Why Seasoned Firewood Matters for Your Home

Seasoned firewood burns cleaner and more efficiently than green or freshly cut wood. Properly dried wood ignites quickly, sustains a steady flame, and releases more heat per log, making it the right choice for fireplaces, fire pits, and wood stoves throughout the Williamsburg area.

▸ Lower moisture content means wood lights faster and produces a more consistent burn.

▸ Seasoned wood generates significantly less creosote buildup inside your chimney or flue, reducing fire risk.

▸ A cleaner burn means less smoke and more usable heat output for your home.

How Is Your Firewood Seasoned?

Top Notch's firewood is seasoned after being split from hardwood trees removed during the company's regular tree trimming and removal operations, allowing excess moisture to escape naturally before the wood reaches your property.
