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 contacted Mulch Mound for #57 river rocks and it was easy and fast to get a delivery right before the holiday weekend. Stone was delivered as promised and place exactly where I asked. Excellent service! I will be ordering mulch next!

How Much Firewood Do I Need?
For a typical Fort Leonard Wood heating season, occasional users should plan on a half cord, while regular nightly burners should budget for a full cord to stay warm from first frost to last frost.
What is a 1/4 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.
What is a 1/3 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.
What is a 1/2 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.

I recently ordered from mulch mound and was thoroughly impressed with every aspect of the experience. The entire process, from placing the order to delivery was seamless and efficient. The mulch arrived exactly on time, and the quality exceeded my expectations. The color was rich and consistent, and I received more than enough to complete my project with proper coverage and packing.
Customer service was equally outstanding. Communication was clear, and the team was responsive and professional throughout. It’s rare to find a company that delivers both a high-quality product and excellent service, but mulch mound did just that.
Highly recommended, and I wouldn’t hesitate to order from them again.

I couldn't be happier with the speed and quality of the mulch delivery service of Mulch Mound. Every detail from ordering, to communication with on time delivery, to perfect product placement was amazing. I needed more and I got it within 2 hours! I'm never doing this with bags again.
While you are prepping your property for winter, check out our mulch and stone options for Fort Leonard Wood to protect garden beds and walkways from the same freeze thaw cycles that affect your firewood storage area.
Stack your firewood off the ground on pallets or rails so air can move underneath, and keep the top covered with a tarp while leaving the sides open for airflow. Fort Leonard Wood's humid summers followed by freezing winters mean uncovered wood can reabsorb moisture fast, so a simple lean to roof or covered rack near your house makes a real difference in burn quality by December.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Oak and hickory from our local mix take a bit longer to catch but reward you with long, steady overnight burns, while hackberry lights quickly and is great for building your initial flame. Splitting a few extra small pieces of hackberry as kindling saves you from using paper or fire starter on cold mornings when you want heat fast.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Order your wood in late summer or early fall, well before that October 20 first frost, so it has time to settle in your storage space and you are not scrambling once temperatures drop. Buying early also means you are not competing with the rush of last minute orders that tends to hit right as the first cold snap arrives.
Wood Heat in Fort Leonard Wood
Fort Leonard Wood sits at 1,096 feet in growing zone 6b, where the heating season stretches from that mid October first frost all the way to mid April, giving homeowners nearly six months of woodstove and fireplace use. That long stretch means green or half seasoned wood simply will not cut it, since unseasoned logs smolder, throw less heat, and coat chimneys with creosote right when you need reliable warmth most. Our wood is seasoned down to a low moisture content before it ever reaches your driveway, so it lights fast and burns hot even during the coldest Ozark border nights. Local hardwoods like oak, hickory, and hackberry are common in this part of Missouri and each brings its own burn characteristics to the woodpile. The silt loam soil and humid summers here actually help season wood well when it is split and stacked with airflow, which is exactly how we prepare every load. Buying wood that was cut and dried near Fort Leonard Wood also means it matches the moisture swings of our own climate instead of arriving from some far off region.
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 to get through a Fort Leonard Wood winter?
Most households burning a few nights a week from October through April go through a half cord to a full cord, while daily woodstove users often need a full cord or more. Our winters here run close to six months from first frost to last frost, so it pays to size up rather than run short in February.
Answer
What does seasoned firewood actually mean and why does it matter here?
Seasoned means the wood has dried down to a low moisture content after splitting, usually six months to a year depending on species. In our humid Missouri summers, unseasoned wood holds onto moisture longer than people expect, so buying pre seasoned wood saves you a smoky, low heat fire when temperatures drop.
Answer
What kinds of wood will I get with my delivery?
Expect a mix of oak, hickory, and hackberry, all sourced from hardwood stands near Fort Leonard Wood. Oak and hickory burn long and hot, ideal for overnight burns, while hackberry lights easily and works well for getting a fire started.
Answer
Is this wood really sourced locally, and does that matter?
Yes, all of our firewood comes from within the local area around Fort Leonard Wood rather than being trucked in from distant states. Keeping firewood local matters because moving wood long distances can spread invasive pests like the emerald ash borer, which has already damaged ash trees across Missouri.
Answer
How does delivery actually work?
You choose your cord size and a delivery date, and our truck drops the wood loose in your driveway at the location you specify. Stacking is not included, so plan to move it into your storage area within a few days, especially before rain or snow moves in.
Answer
What is the difference between a quarter cord, a third cord, a half cord, and a full cord?
A full cord is 128 cubic feet of stacked wood, measuring 4 feet high by 4 feet deep by 8 feet long. A half cord is roughly half that volume, a third cord about a third, and a quarter cord about a quarter, so you can match the size to your woodstove usage and storage space without paying for more than you need.
Answer
Are there any local rules I should know about before burning firewood?
Check with your local fire department or homeowners association about any seasonal burn restrictions, especially during dry stretches when open burning may be limited. Using seasoned wood rather than green wood also produces less visible smoke, which helps you stay a good neighbor during Fort Leonard Wood's colder, stiller winter air.
