How Much Firewood Do I Need?
For most Hattiesburg households, a half cord covers a mild winter of occasional fires, while a full cord is a safer bet if you heat primarily with a wood stove through the whole season.
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.

We have always spread our own mulch for the past 24 years. This was our first time with the Mulch Mound - things I liked: they have online ordering and provide a digital receipt which means you can remember how much you ordered (I always forget for the next year!), they were on time, they were able to deliver in 48 hours, they were generous with the portion (we got 9 yards and it felt like a FULL nine yards!), the driver was polite! We have ordered from reputable places, and there is always a little trash in the mulch. The mulch we recv'd from Mulch Mound had barely any... we were pleasant surprised!!! Color was great! Not to mention - the price was competitive and LOWER than other mulch places around. We will use again !! Highly recommend! Thanks Mulch Mound!
While you are prepping your property for winter, check out our mulch and soil options for Hattiesburg's sandy loam beds, ideal for insulating root systems before the first frost hits around November 1.
Stack your firewood off the ground on a pallet or rack, since Hattiesburg's sandy loam soil holds moisture close to the surface and wicks it right back into stacked wood. Leave gaps between rows for airflow and cover only the top of the stack, keeping the sides open so humidity trapped underneath can escape instead of promoting mold and slow, smoky burns later in the season.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Oak and hickory both burn hot and long once fully seasoned, making them ideal for overnight burns during Hattiesburg's cold snaps, while sweetgum lights quicker and works well for kindling or shorter afternoon fires. A simple moisture test is knocking two pieces together, dry seasoned wood gives a sharp crack while green wood sounds dull and heavy.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Order your firewood in early fall, well before the first frost typically arrives around November 1, since demand climbs fast once temperatures drop and well seasoned wood can sell out during cold snaps. Buying early also gives any slightly damp wood extra weeks to dry further in Hattiesburg's open air before you actually need it.
Wood Heat in Hattiesburg
Hattiesburg winters are short but damp, with a heating season that really only stretches from early November to early March, and that humidity means unseasoned wood struggles to dry out once it hits your rack. Our firewood is split and seasoned well ahead of delivery, so it lights faster and burns hotter even on the soggy, low pressure days that roll up from the Gulf. Local hardwoods like oak, hickory, and sweetgum make up most of our supply, and each of those species holds moisture differently, which is why proper seasoning time matters more here than in a drier climate. Because Hattiesburg sits at low elevation with sandy loam soils and heavy rainfall, wood stacked directly on the ground reabsorbs moisture quickly if it is not handled right. Buying wood that has already been dried down before it reaches your driveway saves you from fighting green wood all winter. It also means fewer smoky, hard to start fires during the wetter stretches of December and January.
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 Hattiesburg winter actually require?
Most Hattiesburg homeowners burning a few nights a week from November through early March go through around a half cord to a full cord, since our heating season is shorter than northern climates but still cool enough most evenings to want a fire.
Answer
What does seasoned firewood mean, and why does it matter here?
Seasoned means the wood has been split and dried down to a lower moisture content before delivery, which matters a lot in Hattiesburg because our humid air slows natural drying, so wood that is not already seasoned can smoke and smolder instead of burning clean.
Answer
What kinds of wood will I get in my delivery?
Expect a mix of local hardwoods common to the Pine Belt area, mainly oak, hickory, and sweetgum, all chosen for solid heat output and reliable burning once properly seasoned.
Answer
Is this firewood actually sourced near Hattiesburg?
Yes, all of our firewood is cut and sourced locally near Hattiesburg, which matters because hauling firewood long distances is one of the main ways invasive pests like the emerald ash borer spread into new areas.
Answer
How does delivery and drop off actually work?
We deliver your order loose to your driveway on the scheduled date, and since stacking is not included, you will want a plan for moving and stacking it promptly, especially before a rainy stretch.
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, and our quarter cord, third cord, and half cord options are simply fractional portions of that same stacked volume, so you can match your order to how much storage space or burning you actually need.
Answer
Are there any local rules about burning firewood in Hattiesburg?
Open burning within city limits is generally regulated, so firewood for indoor fireplaces or wood stoves is unaffected, but if you are considering an outdoor fire pit, check with the City of Hattiesburg fire code before burning during dry, high wind stretches.
