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.

Highest compliments. Great driver.
Website is easy to navigate. Just a seamless process. 5 stars!!

Most Del Rio households burning a few nights a week get through the season on a half cord to a full cord, given the shorter cold window here compared to northern climates.

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

If you are prepping your property for the cooler months, pair your firewood order with mulch or soil from our Del Rio regional page to protect beds from the chalky clay soil common in this area before the first frost hits.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your wood off the ground on pallets or rails and keep it under a simple cover that shields the top while leaving the sides open. Del Rio's dry air helps wood stay seasoned once it is dry, but a stack sitting directly on chalky clay soil can wick up moisture during the rare heavy rain, so airflow underneath matters as much as the cover on top.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Mesquite lights fast and burns very hot, so use it in smaller amounts mixed with live oak if you want a longer, steadier burn overnight. Starting a fire with a small mesquite kindling bed and then adding split live oak once coals form gives you quick heat followed by a longer lasting burn through a cold Del Rio night.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your firewood in early fall before the late November frost window opens. Waiting until the first cold snap hits means competing with everyone else in Del Rio for delivery slots, and you want your wood stacked and settled in place well before you need to rely on it for heat.

Wood Heat in Del Rio

Del Rio winters are short but the cold snaps that roll through between late November and late February can be sharp, and heating with green or half dried wood just does not deliver in that window. Our seasoned hardwood is dried down before delivery so it lights fast and burns hot instead of smoldering and smoking up your chimney. Mesquite and live oak, both common in this part of southwest Texas, need real seasoning time because they are dense woods that hold moisture longer than softer species. With Del Rio's low humidity and chalky clay soil, wood that is properly split and seasoned actually dries faster here than in wetter regions, but only if it started dry when it arrived. That is why we deliver already seasoned, split, ready to burn wood instead of asking you to wait out a green load through your first cold nights.

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 Del Rio winter?

Del Rio's heating season runs roughly from late November to late February, which is shorter than most of the country, so a household burning a few nights a week often gets by on a half cord to a full cord for the season. If you run a wood stove daily during cold snaps, plan closer to a full cord.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has been dried after splitting until its internal moisture is low enough to burn cleanly instead of hissing and smoking. In Del Rio's dry climate this drying happens faster than in humid regions, but green wood sold as ready to burn will still smoke and creosote up your flue, so we only deliver wood that has already gone through this process.

Answer

What kind of wood will I get with a Del Rio delivery?

Expect mesquite and live oak as the backbone of most loads, both dense native hardwoods that burn long and hot once seasoned, which makes them well suited to the short but cold nights this area sees each winter.

Answer

Is your firewood actually sourced near Del Rio?

Yes, our wood is sourced locally near Del Rio rather than trucked in from another region. Firewood should always be bought near where it is burned because hauling it long distances can spread invasive pests like the emerald ash borer into new areas, so keeping our supply local protects the trees around your own property too.

Answer

How does delivery to my driveway work?

We deliver the full order loose to your driveway on the scheduled date. Stacking is not included, so you will want a plan for moving it to a covered or shaded storage area soon after it arrives.

Answer

What is the difference between a quarter cord, a half cord, and a full cord?

A full cord is 128 cubic feet stacked, measuring 4 feet high by 4 feet deep by 8 feet long. Our quarter cord is one fourth of that volume, our third cord is one third, and our half cord is exactly half, so you can size your order to match how much wood storage space you have and how long your Del Rio winter runs.

Answer

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

Del Rio sits in a region where open burning and air quality guidance can shift with drought conditions, so it is worth checking current burn restrictions with local authorities before planning outdoor fires, though contained fireplace and wood stove use for home heating is generally unaffected.
