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.

I needed 3 yards of top soil and that's what I got! Right on time and right where I asked it to be placed (Order# 2041).

Most McKinney homeowners who burn occasionally do fine with a quarter to a third cord, while regular winter burners should plan for a half cord to a full cord to last through the season.

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 your yard for winter, pair your firewood order with mulch or soil from our McKinney regional page to protect beds through the region's clay heavy soil and swings between wet and dry spells.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your firewood off the ground on a pallet or rack so McKinney's clay soil does not wick moisture back into the bottom rows after rain. Leave the top loosely covered but the sides open for airflow, since our humidity can slow drying if wood is wrapped too tightly. A stack facing south or west with a few inches of gap from the house also gets extra help from winter sun.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Before building a fire, do a quick moisture check by knocking two pieces together, seasoned oak and pecan should sound sharp and hollow rather than dull and thudding. Start with smaller split pieces of post oak for kindling since it catches faster, then add denser red oak once the fire is established for a longer, steadier burn through a cold McKinney evening.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your firewood well before the November 11 first frost, since demand spikes the moment temperatures drop and local seasoned supply can run short during the coldest weeks. Buying early also gives any slightly green splits extra weeks to dry out in our climate before you need them for a hard freeze night.

Wood Heat in McKinney

McKinney sits in Zone 8b with a heating season that really only stretches from around the November 11 first frost to the March 15 last frost, so most households are only burning steadily for a few winter months, not year round. That short but sometimes sharp window means the wood you burn needs to already be dry when it lands in your driveway, because there is not always time to season green rounds before a cold snap rolls in. Our hardwood is sourced locally near McKinney and includes species like red oak, post oak, and pecan, all of which are common in North Texas woodlots and burn hot and long once properly seasoned. Local humidity and the clay heavy soils here mean freshly cut wood holds moisture longer than folks expect, so buying wood that has already been split and dried is the difference between a smoky evening and a good hot fire. Sourcing near McKinney also keeps seasoning consistent, since wood cut and dried in this climate behaves differently than wood trucked in from a wetter or cooler region.

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

Answer

How much firewood do I actually need for a McKinney winter

Since our heating season runs roughly from the November 11 first frost to the March 15 last frost, most McKinney households burning a few nights a week get through winter comfortably on a half cord to a full cord. If you only use your fireplace occasionally for ambiance on cold snaps, a quarter cord or a third cord is usually plenty.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has been split and air dried long enough that its internal moisture is low, typically under 20 percent, so it lights easily and burns cleanly. In our humid North Texas air, green or unseasoned wood holds moisture much longer than in drier climates, so buying wood that is already seasoned saves you from smoky, hard to light fires all winter.

Answer

What kind of wood will I get delivered in McKinney

You can expect a mix of local hardwoods common around McKinney, primarily red oak, post oak, and pecan, all of which are dense enough to burn long and hot once seasoned. These species are well suited to the shorter but sometimes sharp cold snaps we get here.

Answer

Is your firewood actually local, and does that matter

Yes, our firewood is sourced locally near McKinney rather than trucked in from far away. Buying local firewood matters because moving wood long distances can spread invasive pests like the emerald ash borer, so keeping wood close to where it is cut and burned protects local trees.

Answer

How does delivery work if I am not sure how much wood I need

You choose a cord size, we schedule a delivery window that works for you, and the wood is dropped loose in your driveway. If you are unsure how much to order, think about how many nights a week you typically burn during a McKinney winter and size up from there.

Answer

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

A full cord is 128 cubic feet of stacked wood, measuring 4 feet high by 4 feet deep by 8 feet long. From there, a half cord is roughly half that volume, a third cord is about a third, and a quarter cord is about a quarter of a full cord, so you can scale your order to however much wood your fireplace or fire pit season actually calls for.

Answer

Are there any local rules about burning firewood in McKinney

McKinney occasionally issues air quality advisories during ozone season or extended dry spells, so it is worth checking local notices before large outdoor burns, though standard fireplace and fire pit use for seasoned wood is generally unrestricted. Sticking with seasoned hardwood also produces less smoke, which helps you stay a good neighbor during any air quality watch.
