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.

Great service. We ordered topsoil from Mulch Mound and the best experience. Thank you so much!

For occasional fireplace use through our roughly five month heating season, a half cord is typically enough, while full time wood heat users should plan for two to three cords to make it comfortably to the April thaw.

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

While you're prepping for winter, check out our bulk mulch and soil options for Chattanooga's clay and shale ground, ideal for insulating garden beds before the first frost hits at the end of October.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your wood off the ground on pallets or rails, since Chattanooga's clay and shale soil holds moisture and can wick dampness straight into your bottom rows. Leave gaps between splits for airflow, cover just the top with a tarp, and keep the sides open so humidity can escape. Fully enclosed tarps trap moisture against the wood in our muggy summers, which slows seasoning and invites mold before winter even starts.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Hickory and oak both throw excellent heat but take longer to catch, so start fires with smaller maple splits or kindling before adding your denser hardwood once coals are established. A simple moisture meter is worth owning here, since our humid air can make wood look and feel dry on the outside while still holding 25 percent or more moisture inside, well above the 20 percent mark for a clean burn.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your firewood in late summer rather than waiting until the first cold snap in October or November. Wood delivered in August or September gets extra weeks of dry weather to finish seasoning before Chattanooga's humidity climbs back up with fall rains, and you'll avoid the rush that hits local suppliers once temperatures start dropping toward that October 30 frost date.

Wood Heat in Chattanooga

Chattanooga winters run from late October through early April, and while our Zone 7b climate is milder than states to the north, the damp Tennessee Valley air makes green or improperly seasoned wood a real problem for local burners. Wood cut and split around Chattanooga needs a full six to twelve months of drying time because our humidity slows moisture loss compared to drier climates. Oak, hickory, and hard maple are the backbone hardwoods here, prized for dense, long burning coals that hold heat through cold snaps off Lookout Mountain and Signal Mountain. Burning wood that has not seasoned properly leads to more creosote buildup in chimneys, which matters in a region full of older homes with masonry flues. Sourcing wood locally also keeps our firewood free of the moisture load that unseasoned wood carries in from wetter regions. A properly seasoned local cord lights easier, burns hotter, and produces less smoke on those still, humid nights when air doesn't move much through the valley.

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 Chattanooga winter?

Most homes here that burn a few nights a week from November through March go through one half to one full cord per season. If wood is your primary heat source rather than a backup to gas or electric, plan closer to two to three cords, since our heating season stretches almost five months.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has dried long enough for moisture content to drop to around 20 percent, which in our humid valley climate takes six months to a year after splitting. Burning wood before it reaches that point produces more smoke, less heat, and faster creosote buildup, which is a real concern in the many older brick chimneys around Chattanooga.

Answer

What kind of wood will I actually get delivered?

Expect a mix of oak, hickory, and hard maple, the dominant hardwoods harvested from forests around the Chattanooga area. These species split well, season reliably in our climate, and produce a hot, long lasting coal bed that's ideal for overnight burns during cold snaps.

Answer

Is this firewood really sourced locally, and does that matter?

Yes, our wood comes from within the Chattanooga region, not trucked in from out of state. Firewood should always be bought and burned close to where it was cut because moving it long distances can spread pests like the emerald ash borer, which has already impacted trees in parts of Tennessee.

Answer

Do you deliver a rick, and how does that compare to your cord sizes?

Some folks in our area, especially those with roots in Kentucky or southern Ohio, use the term rick or face cord to describe a stack that's 4 feet high by 8 feet long but only as deep as the log length, usually 16 to 18 inches. That generally lines up close to our quarter cord option, though exact volume depends on how the wood is split, so ask us if you want help matching a rick size to one of our fraction of a cord orders.

Answer

How does delivery actually work once I place an order?

We schedule a delivery window, then our truck drops your wood loose in the driveway on the agreed date. We don't stack it for you, so plan on having help or a plan for moving it to your storage spot within a day or two, especially before rain moves in.

Answer

Are there any local rules about burning firewood I should know about?

Hamilton County occasionally issues air quality advisories during winter inversions when smoke and pollutants get trapped in the valley, so it's worth checking local air quality alerts on high pollution days before lighting an outdoor fire. Well seasoned hardwood also burns cleaner, which helps reduce the smoke that contributes to these advisories in the first place.
