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.
Wonderful experience! They put the mulch exactly where we wanted. This mulch spread very easily and didn’t have the usual “mulch smell.” We will definitely use again!

How Much Firewood Do I Need?
For a typical Fort Smith heating season running mid November to late March, most homes use somewhere between a half cord and a full cord depending on how often the stove or fireplace is in use.
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. 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.

Placing an order online was so easy. Delivery was on time. When the driver realized we had a newly poured driveway they erred on the side of caution and opted not ti drive in it. The company even sent me a message explaining that call. Would recommend!
While you are prepping for winter, consider pairing your firewood delivery with a load of mulch or soil from our Fort Smith regional page to protect garden beds before the first hard freeze hits.
Stack your firewood off the ground on pallets or rails so air can move underneath, since Fort Smith's humid summers and wet spring stretches can wick moisture up into a pile sitting directly on soil. Leave the top loosely covered but the sides open to airflow. A stack that stays damp at the base will smolder instead of burn clean once winter arrives.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Oak and hickory from around Fort Smith burn long and steady, making them good choices for overnight coals, while ash lights fast and is great for building a quick fire. If you are unsure whether a piece is dry enough, two split logs cracked together should sound like a sharp knock rather than a dull thud, a simple test that beats guessing.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Order your firewood well before the first frost date around November 15 rather than waiting for the first cold snap, since demand across western Arkansas climbs fast once temperatures drop. Ordering early also gives you time to move and stack a full or half cord before your driveway space is needed for anything else.
Wood Heat in Fort Smith
Fort Smith winters run from mid November through late March, a stretch of roughly four months where furnaces and wood stoves both get a workout. Our region's clay loam ground and humid river valley air mean unseasoned wood can hold moisture far longer than homeowners expect, which leads to smoky, low heat fires. That is why we only deliver seasoned hardwood that has already dried down to a proper burn moisture. Local species like oak, hickory, and ash are common in this part of Arkansas and each burns differently, so knowing what you are getting matters. Buying wood that was already cut and dried near Fort Smith means it is ready to burn the day it hits your driveway, not months later.
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 Smith winter?
With our frost season running from around November 15 to March 26, most Fort Smith households burning a few nights a week get through winter on a half cord to a full cord. If your stove is your main heat source rather than a supplemental fire, plan closer to a full cord or more.
Answer
What does seasoned firewood mean and why does it matter here?
Seasoned means the wood has dried out enough that it burns hot and clean instead of hissing and smoking. In our humid Arkansas River valley, green wood can take six months to a year to dry properly on its own, so buying wood that is already seasoned saves you a full season of waiting and gives you better heat right away.
Answer
What kinds of wood will I get with a Fort Smith delivery?
Expect a mix of local hardwoods common to this part of Arkansas, primarily oak and hickory with some ash mixed in. Oak and hickory burn long and hot, which suits our multi month heating season, while ash lights easily and works well for getting a fire going.
Answer
Is your firewood actually local, and does that matter?
Yes, all our wood is sourced near Fort Smith. Firewood should always be bought close to where it will be burned because hauling it long distances can spread pests like the emerald ash borer into new areas, which is a real risk for the hardwood stands around western Arkansas.
Answer
How does delivery actually work?
You choose your cord size and a delivery date, and we bring the wood straight to your driveway loose. Stacking is not included, so plan on having space and some time to move it to where you want it stored.
Answer
What is a rick and how does it compare to your cord sizes?
Around Fort Smith and much of Arkansas, folks often ask for a rick, which usually refers to a stack 4 feet high by 8 feet long but only as deep as the log length, commonly a third of a full cord. Our quarter, third, half, and full cord options are measured precisely, so if you are used to asking for a rick, our third cord size is typically the closest match.
Answer
How is a full cord actually measured?
A full cord is 128 cubic feet, stacked 4 feet high by 4 feet deep by 8 feet long. Our quarter cord, third cord, and half cord are simply fractions of that same measurement, so you can scale your order up or down based on how much heating you expect to do this season.
