About this firewood

A quarter cord of seasoned hardwood, 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 most Dallas homes, a half cord covers a casual fireplace season, while a full cord suits frequent burners or anyone using a wood stove through the whole November to March window.

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. Smaller sizes are the same stack at a quarter, half, or three quarters of that volume.

Complete Your Outdoor Project

While you are prepping your property for the Dallas cold season, pair your firewood order with mulch or soil from our regional page to protect garden beds through the same frost window that runs mid November to mid March.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your wood off the ground on a pallet or rack, since Blackland Clay soil holds moisture and can wick dampness right back into the bottom rows even after a good seasoning. Keep the stack loosely covered on top but open on the sides so humid Dallas air can still move through, and locate it somewhere it gets afternoon sun to help fight off any regrowth of moisture between rain events.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Post oak and pecan both burn hot and long once dry, making them solid choices for overnight coals, but they take a firm hand to light. Start with a smaller kindling bed and let the coal bed build before adding larger splits, since rushing a big oak log onto a weak flame is the most common reason Dallas fires stall out or smoke.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your firewood before the first real cold front hits in mid November, since demand spikes hard once temperatures drop and well seasoned wood can run short. Buying a few weeks ahead also gives any slightly higher moisture splits extra time sitting in your stack to dry out further before you actually need them.

Wood Heat in Dallas

Dallas winters are short but they can turn sharp fast, with cold fronts dropping temperatures 30 to 40 degrees in a single afternoon between mid November and mid March. Because our heating season is compressed into roughly four months, homeowners need firewood that lights easily and burns hot right away rather than wood still fighting off moisture. North Texas humidity slows down natural seasoning, so wood that has not been properly dried can smolder, smoke up a chimney, and leave heavy creosote buildup. Our seasoned oak and pecan are dried well below the moisture level of green wood cut nearby, giving Dallas fireplaces and wood stoves a cleaner, hotter burn. Local hardwoods like red oak, post oak, and pecan are common in this area because they grow well in Blackland Clay soil and season into dense, long burning 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 does a typical Dallas winter actually require?

Most Dallas households burning a few nights a week from mid November through mid March go through about a half cord to a full cord, since our cold season is shorter than northern climates but still brings enough chilly nights to justify a real wood supply.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has been dried down to a low moisture content after splitting, and in a humid area like Dallas that process takes longer than people expect, so buying wood that is already seasoned saves you from smoky, hard to light fires.

Answer

What kinds of wood will I actually get?

Expect a mix of Texas red oak, post oak, and pecan, all common hardwoods around the Dallas area that split well and hold a steady, hot coal bed once dry.

Answer

Is this firewood actually local, and does that matter?

Yes, we source within the Dallas region rather than trucking wood in from far away, because moving firewood long distances is how pests like the emerald ash borer spread into new areas, so buying local protects the trees in your own neighborhood.

Answer

How does delivery actually work once I order?

We schedule a delivery window, drive the load to your address, and dump it loose in your driveway, so plan on having someone home to direct placement and a bit of time afterward to stack it.

Answer

What is a rick, and how does that compare to your cord sizes?

Some customers who moved to Dallas from Kentucky, Missouri, or Kansas ask about a rick or face cord, which is usually one row of wood 4 feet high and 8 feet long but only as deep as the log length, roughly a third of a full cord, so it lines up closest to our quarter or third cord equivalent depending on how the wood is split.

Answer

Are there any local burn restrictions I should know about?

Dallas Fort Worth is part of a regional ozone nonattainment area, so on high ozone advisory days it is worth checking local air quality notices before lighting an outdoor fire, especially in late summer when conditions can still linger into early fall burn season prep.
