firewood

Stacked for burning

Firewood is wood cut and prepared for burning, typically in a fireplace or stove.

It may be sold in bundles or by the cord—a stack measuring four by four by eight feet.

We need to chop more firewood before winter.

Firewood that's been properly dried is called seasoned.
