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.

We had a great experience with mulch mound! Our mulch arrived when we requested. The delivery fee was so reasonable. We’ll use them again for sure!

For a typical Joplin heating season running mid October frost to mid April thaw, most homes do well with a half cord to full cord depending on how often the stove or fireplace gets used.

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

While you are prepping for the cold season, check out our mulch and stone options sourced for the same Joplin sandy loam soil, ideal for insulating garden beds before the first frost hits.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your firewood off the ground on a pallet or rack, and keep the top covered but the sides open to airflow. Joplin's humid summers and occasional heavy rain mean uncovered wood on the ground can reabsorb moisture fast, undoing months of seasoning. A simple lean to cover facing away from prevailing wind keeps rows dry through our unpredictable spring storms.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Test a split before burning by knocking two pieces together. Well seasoned oak or hickory gives a sharp crack, while wetter wood sounds dull and thuds. If your logs hiss or smoke heavily on the fire, they likely need more drying time, which matters most during Joplin's damp autumn stretch right after delivery.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your firewood in late summer or early fall, well before the first frost typically lands around October 13. Waiting until a cold snap actually hits often means longer wait times as everyone in Joplin orders at once, and getting wood delivered early gives it extra weeks to finish drying in your stack before you need it.

Wood Heat in Joplin

Joplin winters stretch from mid October frost through mid April, meaning a lot of nights where a woodstove or fireplace gets real use. Sandy loam soils and hot Ozark summers here favor oak, hickory and hedge growth, all of which make dense, long burning firewood once properly dried. Green wood cut from these species holds moisture for a year or more, so seasoning time matters more here than in wetter climates because our humid summers slow the drying process. Wood that has not seasoned long enough hisses, smokes and creosotes up a chimney fast, which is a real risk during a Joplin cold snap. Buying seasoned hardwood already split and dried means you are ready to burn the night the first front rolls through, 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

Click a question to see the answer

Answer

How much firewood do I actually need to get through a Joplin winter?

Most Joplin households burning a few nights a week from October frost through April thaw go through around one to one and a half cords for the season. If you heat primarily with wood rather than just having occasional fires, plan closer to two to three cords, since our cold snaps can run several weeks straight below freezing.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has dried down to a low moisture content after being split and stored, typically six months to a year depending on species. In our humid Ozark summers, green oak or hickory can stay wet inside even if the bark looks dry, so unseasoned wood burns poorly and builds dangerous creosote in your chimney during a Joplin winter.

Answer

What kind of wood will I actually get delivered?

Expect a mix of oak, hickory and hedge, the dense hardwoods that grow well in this part of Missouri. These species burn hot and long, which is exactly what you want when temperatures drop hard after a cold front moves through the area.

Answer

Is this firewood actually local, and does that matter?

Yes, all of our firewood is sourced near Joplin rather than trucked in from other regions. Firewood should always be bought close to where it is burned because hauling it long distances is one of the main ways invasive pests like the emerald ash borer spread into new areas, so buying local protects the trees in your own neighborhood.

Answer

How does delivery to my house actually work?

You choose your cord size and a delivery date, and we bring the wood loose to your driveway on a truck. Stacking is not included, so plan on moving it to your storage spot yourself or with some help once it arrives.

Answer

What exactly is a cord, and how do the smaller sizes compare?

A full cord is 128 cubic feet of stacked wood, measuring 4 feet high by 4 feet deep by 8 feet long. Our quarter cord is roughly a quarter of that volume, the third cord and half cord scale up from there, and a full cord gives you the most wood per delivery if you burn regularly all winter.

Answer

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

Joplin does not currently have a formal wood burning ban, but during periods of poor air quality or high winds, it is worth checking local advisories before lighting an outdoor fire, since dry seasoned wood also burns cleaner and produces less smoke than green wood regardless of conditions.
