How Much Firewood Do I Need?
Most Memphis households burning a few nights a week get through a half cord in a normal winter, while daily burners in older, less insulated homes should plan on a full cord to cover the entire November through March heating season.
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. 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.

First time going with this company for mulch and it was an efficient process from start to finish. Website was easy—I told them exactly where I wanted the mulch put on my driveway, and it was delivered perfectly when I got home from work the next day. Best deal around when I compared it to competitors and I will definitely be becoming back.

Wonderful experience! They put the mulch exactly where we wanted. This mulch spread very easily and didn’t have the usual “mulch smell.” We will definitely use again!
While you are prepping for winter, check out our mulch and soil options to protect garden beds before the first frost hits your Memphis yard, since bare soil and exposed roots do not handle our winter freeze thaw cycles well.
Stack your wood off the ground on a pallet or rack, since Memphis humidity keeps ground moisture high even in winter and wood sitting directly on soil will wick up dampness and reseason in reverse. Leave gaps between rows for airflow, and cover just the top of the stack with a tarp rather than wrapping the whole pile, since trapping moisture inside is worse than leaving the sides exposed to open air.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Oak takes a bit longer to catch than hickory but holds coals impressively well overnight, so pair a hickory or ash kindling base with oak splits on top for a fire that lights fast and still has hot coals in the morning. If a piece hisses or sizzles at the cut end when it catches, it still has too much moisture and needs more drying time before it is your main burning wood.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Order your winter wood supply in September or early October, well before the first frost typically lands around November 5. Waiting until a cold snap hits means everyone else in Memphis is calling at once, and you risk getting wood that has not had enough time to season properly before you need to burn it.
Wood Heat in Memphis
Memphis winters run from that first frost around November 5 through late March, which means a fireplace or wood stove can see steady use for four to five months straight. Our humidity here is no joke, and green or half seasoned wood soaks up moisture in the air and never burns clean, leaving you with smoke, creosote buildup, and a lot of hissing instead of heat. We season our oak, hickory, and ash locally so the moisture content drops before it ever reaches your driveway. Oak and hickory are the backbone of Mid South firewood because they burn long and hot once dry, which matters when you are trying to heat an older Memphis home with drafty windows. Buying wood that was cut and dried near the Mississippi River bottomland means it is matched to our climate, not shipped in from somewhere with a totally different drying season.
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 to get through a Memphis winter?
If you burn a couple nights a week during the coldest stretch from December through February, a half cord usually covers you. Folks who heat primarily with wood or run fires most evenings from the first frost in early November through late March often go through a full cord or more, especially in older Memphis homes with less insulation.
Answer
What does seasoned firewood mean and why does it matter here?
Seasoned means the wood has dried down to a low moisture content, typically under 20 percent, instead of being freshly cut. In our humid Mid South air, green wood can take much longer to dry on its own than it would in a drier climate, so buying pre seasoned wood saves you a season of waiting and gives you a fire that lights easier and produces far less smoke.
Answer
What kind of wood will I actually get delivered?
Expect a mix of oak and hickory as the mainstays, with some ash mixed in depending on availability. These are the hardwoods common to West Tennessee forests and they burn hot and long, which is what you want on a cold Memphis night.
Answer
Is this wood really sourced near Memphis, and does that matter?
Yes, we source locally around the Memphis area rather than trucking wood in from out of state. This matters because moving firewood long distances is one of the main ways invasive pests like the emerald ash borer spread into new areas, so buying local and burning 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 window, and our truck brings the wood straight to your driveway and dumps it loose at the spot you point out. Stacking is not included, so plan on moving it to your wood rack or storage spot yourself, or have help ready if you are ordering a larger amount.
Answer
What is a rick of firewood, and how does that compare to your cord sizes?
Around Memphis and much of Tennessee, folks often use the term rick to describe a stack that is one row deep, usually equal to about a third of a full cord. Our quarter cord, third cord, half cord, and full cord options let you order in those familiar increments without guessing, so if your firewood guy always talked ricks, our third cord size is the closest match.
Answer
What exactly is a full cord, and how do your 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 a quarter of that volume, our third cord and half cord scale up from there, and the full cord gives you the entire 128 cubic feet for homeowners who burn wood as a primary heat source through the whole Memphis winter.
