How Much Firewood Do I Need?
For Jacksonville's shorter coastal winter, a half cord covers casual use while a full cord is a safer bet for anyone heating primarily with wood from November through March.
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.

Pair your firewood delivery with mulch or soil from our Jacksonville regional page to protect garden beds through our mild winters and prep them for the sandy soil conditions common across the area.
Stack your firewood off the ground on a pallet or rack to keep it away from Jacksonville's damp sandy soil, and leave gaps between rows so coastal humidity does not trap moisture inside the stack. A simple cover over the top, left open on the sides, keeps rain off while still letting air move through, which is essential in our muggy climate.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Oak and hickory from around Jacksonville burn hot and long, making them ideal for overnight fires, while sweetgum tends to burn faster and is better for quick evening fires. Test moisture by splitting a piece open and checking for a dry, hollow sound when two pieces are knocked together rather than a dull thud.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Order your firewood well before the first frost around November 10 so it has time to settle before your first cold snap. Waiting until temperatures drop often means longer wait times and less selection, so early fall is the smart window to schedule delivery ahead of Jacksonville's winter demand.
Wood Heat in Jacksonville
Jacksonville, NC sits in growing zone 8a with a mild but humid coastal climate, so the heating season usually runs from around the first frost near November 10 through the last frost around March 25. That is a shorter burn window than colder inland states, but our sandy soil coastal air still carries a lot of moisture, which means unseasoned wood struggles to dry out and burns dirty and smoky in a fireplace or wood stove. Locally sourced oak, hickory, and sweetgum are common in this part of Onslow County, and they need months of proper seasoning to shed excess water before they are ready to burn efficiently. Buying wood that has already been split and seasoned saves homeowners the frustration of trying to dry logs in our humid coastal air. It also means more heat output and less creosote buildup in chimneys during our cooler months.
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 for a typical Jacksonville winter?
Because our heating season is relatively short, running roughly from early November to late March, most Jacksonville households burning a few nights a week get through winter on a half cord to a full cord. If you run a wood stove daily as a primary heat source, plan for a full cord or more depending on how cold the season runs.
Answer
What does seasoned firewood mean and why does it matter here?
Seasoned means the wood has been split and dried for months until its moisture content drops low enough to burn cleanly. In our humid coastal climate, green wood dries slowly and can smolder, smoke heavily, and leave creosote in your chimney, so buying already seasoned wood is especially important here.
Answer
What kinds of wood will I get with a Jacksonville delivery?
Expect a mix of local hardwoods common to the Onslow County area, mainly oak and hickory with some sweetgum, all sourced near Jacksonville rather than shipped in from far away.
Answer
Is this firewood really local, and does that matter?
Yes, our firewood is sourced locally near Jacksonville. Buying and burning wood close to where it grew helps prevent the spread of invasive pests like the emerald ash borer, which can hitch a ride in firewood moved long distances.
Answer
How does delivery to my driveway actually work?
You choose your cord size, we schedule a delivery date, and our truck drops the wood loose in your driveway. Stacking is not included, so plan to move and stack it yourself soon after delivery, especially given our humid air.
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 a quarter of that volume, our third cord is a third, and our half cord is half, so you can scale your order to match how much wood your Jacksonville home actually burns each season.
Answer
Are there any local rules about burning wood in Jacksonville?
Jacksonville and Onslow County follow standard open burning guidance, so check with local fire authorities before any outdoor burning, and keep in mind that during periods of poor air quality or high winds, outdoor fires may be discouraged even though indoor wood stove and fireplace use is unaffected.
