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.

Online ordering was really simple and I liked the transparent pricing.

For a heating season running late October through early April, primary wood heat users in Lumberton generally need two to three full cords, while occasional fireplace users often do fine with a half cord or quarter 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 the yard for winter, check out our mulch and soil options for Lumberton's sandy loam beds, which can use a fresh layer before the ground firms up for the cold months ahead.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your firewood off the ground on pallets or rails so air can move underneath, since Lumberton's humid air and sandy loam soil hold moisture near ground level longer than you would expect. Leave gaps between rows for airflow, and cover only the top of the stack with a tarp, keeping the sides open so trapped humidity does not slow seasoning or invite rot before you need the wood.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Oak and hickory from local deliveries make excellent overnight coals, so save them for the coldest nights between December and February. Sweetgum catches faster and works well for kindling a fire before adding denser splits. A quick moisture check is to knock two pieces together, well seasoned wood gives a sharp crack, while green or damp wood sounds dull and thudding.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your firewood before the first real cold snap hits after the October 28 frost date, since demand climbs fast once temperatures drop and delivery windows fill up. Buying in September or early October also gives freshly split wood extra weeks to finish drying in Lumberton's humid air before you need it for a steady burn.

Wood Heat in Lumberton

Lumberton's winters run from late October through early April, a heating window of roughly five months once you count the frost dates around October 28 and April 4. That is a real stretch of chilly, damp evenings where a wood stove or fireplace insert gets steady use. Our seasoned oak, hickory, and sweetgum are dried down well before delivery, because eastern North Carolina's humid air can keep green wood from drying properly if you try to season it yourself over a single winter. Sandy loam soils and mild elevation around 128 feet mean this area does not get bitter deep freezes, but the damp cold makes wet wood smoke, smolder, and gum up flues fast. Burning properly seasoned hardwood keeps your chimney cleaner and your living room warmer through Robeson County's long, humid winter nights.

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 Lumberton winter actually require?

Most homeowners here who use a stove or insert as their main heat source burn two to three full cords across the roughly five month heating season between late October and early April. If wood fire is more of a supplemental or occasional evening thing, a half cord or one third cord often carries a household through the mild stretches between cold fronts.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has been split and dried until its moisture content drops low enough to burn hot and clean, generally taking six months to a year depending on species. In Lumberton's humid climate, green wood dries slower than in drier regions, so buying wood that is already seasoned saves you a season of frustration with smoky, hard to light fires.

Answer

What kinds of wood should I expect in my delivery?

Our loads are sourced locally near Lumberton and typically include oak, hickory, and sweetgum, all common hardwoods in this part of Robeson County. Oak and hickory burn longer and hotter, making them good choices for overnight burns, while sweetgum lights easily and works well for getting a fire started.

Answer

Is the firewood really sourced locally, and does that matter?

Yes, all of our firewood comes from sources near Lumberton rather than being trucked in from distant regions. Keeping firewood local matters because moving wood long distances is one of the main ways invasive pests like the emerald ash borer spread into new areas, so buying and burning close to home protects the trees in your own neighborhood.

Answer

How does delivery to my house actually work?

You choose your cord size, schedule a delivery date that works for you, and we bring the load straight to your driveway. The wood is delivered loose rather than stacked, so plan to have your stacking spot ready before the truck arrives.

Answer

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

A full cord is a stack measuring 4 feet high by 4 feet deep by 8 feet long, which works out to 128 cubic feet of stacked wood. 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 maximum amount for homeowners heating mainly with wood through Lumberton's winter.

Answer

Are there any local rules I should know about burning firewood outdoors?

Robeson County and the City of Lumberton follow North Carolina's open burning regulations, which restrict outdoor burning of debris within city limits and require permits for certain burns outside them. Indoor wood stove and fireplace use is not restricted the same way, but keeping your firewood seasoned helps reduce smoke output, which matters on the still, humid days common to this area.
