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.

Highest compliments. Great driver.
Website is easy to navigate. Just a seamless process. 5 stars!!

For most Killeen households, a third cord to a half cord comfortably covers a typical heating season of occasional to regular fires, while frequent nightly burners should plan on a full 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.

Complete Your Outdoor Project

While you are prepping for cooler weather, take a look at our mulch and soil options for Killeen's clay caliche beds, since refreshing your landscaping before the first frost helps everything handle the dry stretches ahead.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack firewood off bare ground on pallets or a rack so air can move underneath, since Killeen's clay caliche soil holds moisture near the surface longer than you might expect. Keep the top covered but leave the sides open for airflow, and position your stack where afternoon sun can reach it. This keeps wood dry through sudden rain and helps it stay ready to burn right through the November to March season.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Central Texas oak and mesquite both burn hot once dry, but they respond differently in a fire. Oak tends to build a long, steady coal bed good for overnight warmth, while mesquite lights fast and burns hotter but quicker, making it a good choice for short evening fires. Mixing the two in one fire gives you a fast start from mesquite and lasting heat from the oak.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your firewood well before the first frost typically arrives around November 8, since waiting until a cold snap hits means scrambling for delivery windows at the same time everyone else is calling. Ordering in early fall also gives any slightly less dry pieces extra weeks of airflow before you need to burn them.

Wood Heat in Killeen

Killeen winters are short but sharp, with the heating season really only running from the first frost around November 8 through mid March, so central Texas homeowners need wood that lights fast and burns hot without a long shoulder season to season it themselves. Central Texas oak and mesquite are the backbone species around Killeen, and both need real drying time because Fort Hood area humidity swings can keep green wood from drying evenly if it is cut too close to burn season. We season our wood well ahead of that November 8 frost date so moisture content is down before it ever reaches your driveway. Buying wood that is already seasoned matters here because a lot of Killeen homes use fireplaces and chimineas for shorter evening burns rather than all night heating, so you want clean combustion and less creosote from the first log. Local clay caliche soil and limited rainfall also mean local hardwoods tend to grow denser and burn longer than wetter climate wood, which is a real advantage once it is properly dried.

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 many cords will I actually need for a Killeen winter?

Killeen's heating season generally runs from the first frost around November 8 through mid March, which is a shorter window than colder climates but still adds up if you burn regularly. A homeowner who lights a fire most winter evenings typically goes through a half cord to a full cord across the season, while occasional weekend burners often do fine with a quarter or third cord.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has dried down to a low moisture content instead of being cut and sold green. In a climate like ours where humidity can swing and burn sessions are often shorter evening fires rather than long overnight burns, seasoned wood lights faster, produces less smoke, and leaves less creosote buildup in your chimney.

Answer

What kind of wood will I actually get?

Our loads are sourced locally near Killeen and typically feature central Texas oak along with mesquite, both dense hardwoods that hold heat well once properly dried. These species are common to the area because they tolerate our clay caliche soil and limited rainfall.

Answer

Is this really local wood, and why should I care?

Yes, all of our firewood is sourced near Killeen rather than trucked in from another region. Buying local and burning local matters because moving firewood long distances is one of the main ways invasive pests like the emerald ash borer spread into new areas, so keeping wood close to where it was cut protects the trees in your own neighborhood.

Answer

How does delivery actually work?

You choose your cord size, we schedule a delivery date with you, and the load is dropped loose in your driveway rather than stacked. Stacking is not included, so it helps to have your storage area cleared and ready before the truck arrives.

Answer

What is the difference between a quarter, third, half, and full cord?

A full cord is 128 cubic feet stacked, measuring 4 feet high by 4 feet deep by 8 feet long. A half cord is roughly half that volume, a third cord is about a third, and a quarter cord is a quarter of that stacked measurement, so you can size your order to match how much storage space and burning you actually plan to do this season.

Answer

Are there any local rules about burning wood outdoors or in fireplaces?

Bell County occasionally issues burn bans during dry stretches that mostly affect outdoor debris burning, so it is worth checking current county status before any outdoor fire, though indoor fireplace and wood stove use is generally unaffected. Keeping your wood seasoned also helps you burn cleaner on days when regional air quality is already under stress from dry, dusty conditions.
