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.

I have ordered twice now, a pleasure to deal with, easy and fast delivery, beautiful mulch!

For a typical Austin heating season running late November through early March, most occasional burners do fine with a quarter to a third of a cord, while regular users should plan on a half to full 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.

Complete Your Outdoor Project

Pair your firewood delivery with mulch or soil from our Austin regional page to keep garden beds insulated through the winter frost window while your firewood stays dry and ready by the driveway.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your wood off the ground on pallets or a rack so Central Texas humidity and occasional heavy rain do not wick moisture back into the bottom rows. Leave gaps between rows for airflow, and cover only the top with a tarp, keeping the sides open so trapped moisture can escape rather than turning your seasoned wood damp again before you burn it.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Texas live oak takes a bit longer to catch than mesquite, so start your fire with mesquite kindling and add oak once you have solid coals for a longer, steadier burn. If a split hisses or smokes heavily instead of catching, it likely needs more drying time before it is truly ready to burn.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your firewood well before the first frost typically arrives around November 20, since cold snaps in Central Texas can show up suddenly and local supply tightens fast once temperatures drop. Buying early also gives freshly delivered wood extra weeks to finish drying out in your storage area before you need it most.

Wood Heat in Austin

Austin winters are short but they can turn cold fast between late November and early March, and a lot of local fireplaces and chimineas get used hard during those cold snaps rather than all season long. Central Texas humidity means wood that looks dry on the outside can still be holding moisture inside, so properly seasoned hardwood matters more here than the calendar suggests. We deliver oak and mesquite that has been split and air dried well past the point where it will hiss and smoke on you. Because our frost window is short, buying seasoned wood ahead of the first frost around November 20 means you are not scrambling for dry fuel during a surprise cold front. Local species like Texas live oak and mesquite burn hot and clean once properly cured, which matters in a climate where humidity can slow the drying process.

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 for an Austin winter

Since our cold season really only runs from late November to early March, most Austin households burning a few nights a week get through winter comfortably on a quarter to a third of a cord. If you use your fireplace as a primary heat source or burn most nights during cold snaps, plan closer to a half cord or full cord.

Answer

What does seasoned firewood mean and why does it matter here

Seasoned means the wood has dried down to a low moisture content after being split, unlike green wood which is still full of sap and water. In Austin's humid climate green wood is especially prone to smoking, sizzling, and burning inefficiently, so our seasoned hardwood is dried to actually catch and burn well in your fireplace.

Answer

What kind of wood will I get delivered

You can expect a mix of Texas live oak and mesquite, both classic Central Texas hardwoods known for burning hot and long once properly seasoned. These species hold up well to our clay and limestone soil conditions and are the backbone of most local firewood supply.

Answer

Is this wood actually sourced near Austin

Yes, all of our firewood is sourced locally near Austin rather than trucked in from far away. Moving firewood long distances is a known way to spread invasive pests like the emerald ash borer, so buying and burning local protects both your yard and the wider Central Texas tree canopy.

Answer

How does the firewood delivery work

We deliver your order loose to your driveway on the scheduled date, and stacking is not included, so plan on having someone available to move it to its storage spot afterward.

Answer

What is a cord and how do your sizes compare

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, third cord, and half cord options are simply fractions of that same stacked volume, so you can scale your order to match how much firewood your Austin household actually burns.

Answer

Are there any local rules about burning firewood in Austin

Austin occasionally issues ozone action day advisories during certain weather patterns, which can affect outdoor burning guidance, so it is worth checking current local air quality notices before a big bonfire, though normal fireplace use is generally unaffected.
